FAQs

Are the Salomon XT-6 suitable for everyday wear?

Yes, the XT-6 combines high-performance features with a distinctive style that makes it suitable for everyday wear, especially for those who appreciate its technical aesthetic and durability.

How do I clean mud off the Contagrip outsole?

Use a stiff brush or an old toothbrush to dislodge caked-on mud. Rinse with water and allow to air dry. Avoid harsh chemicals that could degrade the rubber.

What is the advantage of the GORE-TEX upper?

The GORE-TEX upper provides durable waterproofness and breathability, keeping your feet dry from external moisture while allowing sweat vapor to escape, ensuring comfort in various weather conditions.

Can I replace the OrthoLite sockliner?

Yes, the OrthoLite sockliner is removable and can be replaced with custom orthotics or different insoles if desired, provided they are of a similar size and shape.

How do I adjust the Quicklace system for a tighter fit?

Pull the laces firmly upwards. The lace lock will secure the tension. Ensure the excess lace is tucked into the lace garage on the tongue.

Are these shoes good for wide feet?

The fit can vary. While the Quicklace system allows for some adjustment, individuals with significantly wide feet may find them snug. Trying them on or checking customer reviews regarding fit is recommended.

What is the expected lifespan of the shoes?

With proper care and use, the Salomon XT-6 are built for durability. Lifespan depends heavily on the frequency and type of use, but the robust construction is designed for longevity.

Troubleshooting

Water seeping through the upper

Ensure the GORE-TEX membrane is clean and undamaged. Check that laces are properly tied and the tongue is aligned to prevent water entry. If damage is suspected, contact customer support.

Reduced grip on wet surfaces

Clean the Mud Contagrip outsole to remove any embedded debris or mud that may be reducing traction. Inspect the tread for excessive wear.

Laces not staying tight

Ensure the lace lock mechanism is fully engaged. Check the Quicklace cord for any fraying or damage that might prevent it from holding tension.

Discomfort or rubbing

The shoes may require a break-in period. Wear them for shorter durations initially and gradually increase wear time. Ensure you are using the correct sock type and fit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The XT-6 features a Quicklace system. To adjust the fit, pull the laces tight. To loosen, pull the lace lock upwards. Ensure the excess lace is tucked into the lace garage on the tongue to prevent snagging.

Compatibility: These trainers are designed for adult use and are compatible with various outdoor activities and urban exploration. They are suitable for individuals seeking enhanced grip, stability, and waterproof protection.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush. For tougher dirt, use a damp cloth and mild soap. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
  2. Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources. Ensure they are completely dry before storing.
  3. GORE-TEX Maintenance: Periodically clean the GORE-TEX membrane to maintain its breathability and waterproofness. Consult the GORE-TEX website for specific care instructions.
