Troubleshooting
Laces won't tighten securely.
Ensure the Quicklace™ toggle is fully engaged. Check the lace channels for any debris that might be obstructing movement. If the laces are frayed, they may need replacement.
Discomfort or hot spots during runs.
Verify lacing is not too tight or too loose. Consider wearing different socks or using insoles for added comfort. Break in the shoes with shorter walks before long runs.
Traction feels reduced on wet surfaces.
Clean the Contagrip® outsole to remove embedded mud or debris. Ensure the outsole is not excessively worn down. For very slick conditions, proceed with caution.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Salomon XT-6 comes ready to wear. The Quicklace™ system requires a simple pull to tighten and a lift of the toggle to loosen. Ensure the laces are adjusted for a snug but comfortable fit, avoiding overtightening that could restrict circulation.
Compatibility: This shoe is designed for trail running and general outdoor activities. It is compatible with most standard sock types. For optimal performance, consider moisture-wicking socks.
Care:
- Cleaning: After use, remove excess dirt with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
