FAQs
Are the Salomon XT-6 shoes waterproof?
The XT-6 uses a mesh and TPU construction that is breathable and durable but not inherently waterproof.
Can I use these for marathon running?
While originally designed for trail running, these are highly capable, though performance depends on your personal arch support and gait requirements.
How do I replace the laces?
The Speed Lacing System is integrated. If you need a replacement, it is recommended to visit an authorized Salomon service center.
Do these shoes run true to size?
The XT-6 typically has a performance-oriented, snug fit. Many users choose to go up half a size if they prefer extra room in the toe box.
Can I remove the OrthoLite sockliner?
Yes, the sockliner is removable if you need to air it out or replace it with a custom orthotic insert.
Is the XT-6 suitable for gym training?
They are excellent for general fitness and walking, but the chassis is designed more for forward-motion trail activity than side-to-side agility movements.
Troubleshooting
Laces feeling too loose or tight mid-activity
Adjust the toggle and ensure the lace is evenly distributed through all eyelets before pulling tight.
Visible dirt build-up in the lug outsole
Use a soft-bristle brush to remove dried mud from the Contagrip treads to restore grip.
Internal sockliner is damp after heavy use
Remove the OrthoLite insert and allow it to dry separately in a well-ventilated area.
Pros and Cons

- Superior grip on diverse ground surfaces

Cons
- Stiffer sole compared to standard lifestyle sneakers
- Requires a break-in period for optimal comfort
- Narrower fit profile may not suit all foot shapes
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best performance from your XT-6 trainers, start by properly adjusting the Speed Lacing System. Once you have inserted your foot, pull the toggle to secure the fit, but avoid overtightening, as the TPU film construction does not stretch much. Tuck the excess lacing into the dedicated tongue pocket to prevent snagging.
For maintenance, wipe down the exterior with a damp cloth after muddy excursions. Avoid machine washing, as the high-heat cycle can compromise the adhesive bonds of the TPU film and the integrity of the foam midsole. Allow your shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can cause the materials to warp or become brittle.
