FAQs
Are the Salomon XT-6 GTX trainers suitable for everyday wear?
Yes, the XT-6 GTX combines high-performance features with a distinctive style, making them suitable for both trail activities and everyday urban wear.
How do I clean my XT-6 GTX trainers?
Clean the upper with a damp cloth and mild soap. Wipe the sole clean and allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from heat sources. Avoid machine washing or drying.
Is the GORE-TEX membrane fully waterproof?
Yes, the PFC-free GORE-TEX membrane offers excellent waterproof protection while maintaining breathability. However, performance can be maintained by proper care and avoiding excessive heat.
How does the Quicklace system work?
The Quicklace system allows for fast, one-pull tightening and easy loosening. Pull the laces upwards to tighten and press the toggle while sliding down to loosen.
What is the benefit of the Mud Contagrip outsole?
The Mud Contagrip outsole is specifically designed for maximum grip on soft, muddy, or uneven surfaces, providing reliable traction in challenging conditions.
Can I replace the Quicklace system if it breaks?
Replacement parts for the Quicklace system are generally available from Salomon or specialized outdoor retailers. Specific instructions may vary.
What kind of socks are best to wear with these trainers?
Merino wool or synthetic blend athletic socks are recommended for comfort and moisture-wicking properties. Ensure socks are of appropriate thickness for your fit preference.
Troubleshooting
Quicklace system feels too tight or loose
Adjust the laces by pulling the toggle upwards to tighten or pressing the toggle and sliding it down to loosen. Ensure the lace knot is properly secured before tightening.
Reduced waterproofing after extended use
Clean the shoes thoroughly and consider applying a suitable waterproofing treatment designed for technical footwear and membranes. Avoid heat during drying.
Poor traction on wet surfaces
Ensure the Mud Contagrip outsole is free from mud, dirt, or debris. If the tread is significantly worn down, it may be time to consider replacing the shoes.
Discomfort or rubbing
Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. Adjust the Quicklace system for a more secure but not overly tight fit. The OrthoLite sockliner provides cushioning, but break-in periods may be necessary for new shoes.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft brush or cloth dampened with water and mild soap to gently clean the mesh and synthetic materials. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Cleaning the Midsole/Outsole: Wipe down the sole unit with a damp cloth. Ensure all mud and debris are removed from the Contagrip treads.
- Drying: Allow the trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can damage the materials.
