FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wet weather?
Yes, the Contagrip outsole provides reliable traction on wet surfaces, though the upper material is not fully waterproof.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the OrthoLite sockliners are removable and can be replaced with custom orthotics if required.
Are the XT-6 trainers true to size?
They are generally standard in sizing, but the performance fit is snug. If you prefer extra room, consider a half-size up.
How do I maintain the speed lacing system?
Keep the toggle clean of grit and dirt. If the lace becomes frayed, it can be replaced with standard Salomon replacement lace kits.
Can these be machine washed?
It is not recommended to machine wash the XT-6 as it can damage the specialized materials and structural components; manual cleaning is preferred.
Troubleshooting
Laces feel too tight or loose
Adjust the toggle lock on the speed lacing system and redistribute tension through the eyelets manually.
Build-up of dirt in the tread
Use a stiff-bristled brush to knock out mud or debris trapped between the Contagrip lugs after drying.
Sensation of heel slip
Ensure the laces are tightened firmly through the midfoot section and verify the sockliner is seated correctly inside the shoe.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your XT-6 trainers remain in top condition, follow these guidelines:
- Fit Adjustment: Utilize the speed lacing system to distribute pressure evenly across the top of your foot. Avoid over-tightening to maintain proper circulation.
- Break-in Period: While comfortable out of the box, the structured nature of the chassis benefits from a few short walks to allow the EVA midsole to conform to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Remove loose debris with a soft brush after trail use. Clean the upper using lukewarm water and mild soap. Air dry in a cool, shaded area away from direct heat sources.
- Storage: Keep your trainers in a cool, dry place. Avoid leaving them in direct sunlight or inside a hot vehicle, as extreme heat can degrade the adhesive and EVA foam materials.
