FAQs
Are the Salomon XT-6 trainers waterproof?
The Salomon XT-6 trainers are water-resistant but not fully waterproof. They are designed to handle wet conditions and splashes, but prolonged submersion or heavy rain may lead to water ingress.
How do I adjust the Quicklace™ system?
Pull the laces evenly to tighten the shoe for a snug fit. Push the lace lock down to secure it. To loosen, pull up on the lace lock. Tuck the excess lace into the lace pocket on the tongue.
Can I use these shoes for everyday walking?
Yes, the Salomon XT-6 offers good cushioning and support, making them suitable for everyday walking and urban exploration. However, they are optimized for trail performance.
What is the warranty period for these trainers?
Warranty information typically varies by region and retailer. Please refer to the warranty documentation provided with your purchase or contact the retailer for specific details.
How do I clean the mesh upper of the XT-6?
Use a soft brush or cloth with mild soap and cool water to gently clean the mesh. Avoid scrubbing too hard. Always allow the shoes to air dry completely away from heat sources.
Are there other color options available for the XT-6 series?
Yes, the Salomon XT-6 series is available in a wide range of colorways. You can check the Salomon website or authorized retailers for other available options.
Troubleshooting
Laces won't stay tight
Ensure the Quicklace™ cord is fully threaded through the locking mechanism. If the lock is worn or damaged, it may need replacement. Ensure the lace pocket is not overstuffed, which can sometimes interfere with the lock.
Discomfort or rubbing on the heel
This may indicate the shoes need a break-in period or require slight adjustment of the Quicklace™ system for a more personalized fit. Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. Try lacing them slightly looser in the ankle area.
Reduced grip on wet surfaces
While the Contagrip® outsole offers excellent traction, performance can be affected by wear and tear. Clean the outsole thoroughly to remove any mud or debris that might be filling the tread patterns. If wear is significant, consider replacement.
Water ingress
The XT-6 is designed for trail running and offers some water resistance but is not fully waterproof. For very wet conditions, consider waterproof socks or alternative footwear. Ensure all seams and materials are intact.
Pros and Cons

Cons
- The 'Bleached Sand Cumin' colourway and brown accents may not appeal to everyone.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Salomon XT-6 trainers require no complex setup. They are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure the Quicklace™ system is adjusted for a comfortable, snug fit by pulling the laces evenly and tucking the excess into the lace pocket.
Compatibility: These trainers are compatible with most types of hiking socks and athletic wear. They are designed for direct use on trails, paths, and varied outdoor surfaces.
Care:
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents, as this can damage the materials. Allow shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
- Laces: Check the Quicklace™ system periodically for wear and tear. Replacement laces are available from Salomon or authorized retailers.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight when not in use. Ensure they are clean and dry before long-term storage to prevent odor and material degradation.
