FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for road running?
The XT-6 features a Mud Contagrip® outsole optimized for grip on soft, technical terrain. While they can be used on roads for short distances, they may wear faster and offer a firmer ride compared to trainers specifically designed for pavement.
How do I clean the OrthoLite® sockliner?
The sockliner can be removed from the shoe. Clean it gently with a damp cloth and mild soap. Allow it to air dry completely before reinserting it into the shoe.
What is the intended use for the Salomon XT-6?
The XT-6 is a versatile trainer designed for trail running, hiking, and general outdoor activities. It is also popular for its aesthetic appeal for casual wear.
Can I replace the Quicklace™ system?
Yes, replacement Quicklace™ kits are available separately, allowing you to refresh the lacing system if needed.
How should I choose my size?
It is recommended to consult the Salomon sizing chart and consider trying them on if possible, as fit can vary. Given the UK 13.5 size, ensure you are familiar with how Salomon trainers typically fit your foot.
Are these trainers waterproof?
The XT-6 trainers are water-resistant but not fully waterproof. They are designed to handle wet conditions and provide some protection, but prolonged submersion will lead to water ingress.
Troubleshooting
Laces won't tighten securely.
Ensure the lace lock is fully engaged. Check for any debris in the lace eyelets or around the lace lock mechanism that might be preventing a secure fit. Re-thread the lace through the lock if necessary.
Discomfort or pressure points.
Verify that you have the correct size. Ensure socks are properly fitted. Break in the shoes with shorter wear periods initially. Adjust the Quicklace™ tension to find a comfortable balance.
Reduced grip on surfaces.
Clean the Mud Contagrip® outsole thoroughly to remove any embedded mud or debris. Inspect the tread for excessive wear. The outsole is optimized for soft ground; performance on very hard, dry surfaces may differ.
Water ingress during wet conditions.
While designed for outdoor use, these trainers are not fully waterproof. For prolonged immersion or heavy rain, consider waterproof gaiters or socks. Ensure the tongue is properly positioned to minimize water entry.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Salomon XT-6 trainers are ready to wear out of the box. The Quicklace™ system features a single-pull lace and a locking eyelet. To tighten, pull the lace firmly. To loosen, lift the lace lock. The excess lace can be stored in the integrated lace pocket on the tongue.
Compatibility: These trainers are designed for adult unisex wear and are compatible with standard athletic socks. While engineered for trail and outdoor use, they are also suitable for general fitness activities and casual wear.
Care: To maintain the performance and longevity of your XT-6 trainers:
- Cleaning: Remove excess dirt with a soft brush. Clean the upper and outsole with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents, as they can damage the materials and affect performance.
- Drying: Allow trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in direct sunlight, as this can warp the shape or degrade the materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. Ensure they are completely dry before storing to prevent mildew.
