FAQs
Are the Salomon XT-6 "Walnut" suitable for everyday wear?
Yes, the XT-6 "Walnut" combines trail performance with a modern design, making it suitable for both trail activities and comfortable everyday urban wear.
How do I adjust the QUICKLACE™ system?
Pull the toggles upwards to tighten the laces and press the release mechanism to loosen them. Tuck the excess lace into the pocket on the tongue.
What is the main benefit of the SENSIFIT™ system?
The SENSIFIT™ system provides a precise and adaptive fit by cradling the foot from the midsole to the lacing, enhancing stability and comfort.
Can I replace the OrthoLite® sockliner?
Yes, the OrthoLite® sockliner is removable and can be replaced with custom orthotics if needed, though it is designed for optimal comfort and performance.
How should I clean my Salomon XT-6 trainers?
Clean with a soft brush for loose dirt, and a damp cloth with mild soap for tougher grime. Allow them to air dry completely away from heat.
What kind of terrain is the CONTAGRIP® outsole best suited for?
The CONTAGRIP® outsole is engineered for a wide variety of surfaces, offering excellent grip on hard, soft, wet, and dry terrain, including trails, mud, and rocks.
Is this shoe waterproof?
The XT-6 "Walnut" is designed for breathability and protection, but it is not a fully waterproof shoe. It offers water resistance suitable for light rain or splashes.
Troubleshooting
QUICKLACE™ system feels too tight or too loose
Adjust the lace tension using the toggle. If the laces are difficult to adjust, ensure they are clean and free of debris. For a permanent adjustment, you can slightly trim the lace ends and re-thread them through the toggles, being careful not to shorten them too much.
Slight discomfort or rubbing after initial wear
This is common with performance footwear. Wear the shoes for short periods initially, allowing them to break in. Ensure socks are worn correctly and consider if the fit needs further adjustment via the SENSIFIT™ system.
Reduced grip on wet surfaces over time
Clean the CONTAGRIP® outsole thoroughly to remove any embedded dirt or debris that might be affecting traction. Check the tread for excessive wear; if significantly worn, replacement may be necessary.
Shoe sole feels stiff during walking
The AGILE CHASSIS™ SYSTEM is designed for stability, which can initially feel stiffer than highly flexible shoes. This is normal and intended for support. The shoe will become more flexible with use.
Pros and Cons

Cons
- The QUICKLACE™ system might not suit everyone's preference for traditional lacing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The primary setup involves adjusting the QUICKLACE™ system to your preferred tightness. Pull the toggles to tighten and press the release mechanism to loosen. Ensure the laces are stored neatly within the lace pocket on the tongue to prevent snagging.
Compatibility: These trainers are designed for versatile use, compatible with trail running, light trekking, and everyday casual wear. They integrate well with technical outdoor apparel as well as streetwear.
Care: To maintain the shoe's condition:
- Remove loose dirt and debris with a soft brush.
- For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap and water. Avoid harsh detergents.
- Wipe down the upper and midsole. Clean the outsole treads.
- Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources.
- Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
