FAQs

What is the Quicklace system?

The Quicklace system is Salomon's minimalistic and strong lace for one-pull tightening. It allows for easy-on, easy-off, and precise fit adjustments.

Is the Salomon XT-6 waterproof?

The Salomon XT-6 is not explicitly marketed as waterproof. Its abrasion-resistant materials and synthetic textile upper offer good protection against light moisture and debris, but it is not designed to be fully submersible.

What is the Agile Chassis System (ACS)?

The Agile Chassis System is a stability technology integrated into the sole unit that works with the EnergyCell midsole to provide stability and motion control, especially on technical terrains.

How do I clean my XT-6 sneakers?

Clean the upper with a soft brush or damp cloth using mild soap. For the Mud Contragrip outsole, use a brush and water to remove debris. Always allow the shoes to air dry naturally, away from direct heat.

Can I use these shoes for everyday casual wear?

While comfortable, the XT-6 is a high-performance shoe designed for demanding outdoor activities like trail running. Its specialized features might be over-engineered for casual, everyday use, and you might find more suitable options for general wear.

What is the fit like for the Salomon XT-6?

The XT-6 typically offers a precise, performance-oriented fit, often described as snug and secure, which is beneficial for stability on trails. We recommend trying them on to ensure the best fit for your foot shape.

Troubleshooting

Quicklace feels too loose or too tight

To adjust, pull the toggle up to loosen, or pull the laces through the toggle to tighten. Ensure the toggle is pushed down firmly into the locked position and excess lace is stowed.

Poor grip on certain surfaces

The Mud Contragrip outsole is optimized for varied and muddy terrains. Performance may differ on smooth, wet surfaces like polished concrete or ice. Clean the outsole regularly to ensure lugs are free of debris.

Shoes feel too warm or lack breathability

While built with abrasion-resistant materials for durability, the synthetic textile upper offers good breathability. Consider adjusting your sock choice to a moisture-wicking, breathable material suitable for your activity and climate.

Unusual sounds (squeaking) during wear

Check if the OrthoLite insole is properly seated within the shoe. Sometimes, a slight shift can cause friction and noise. Remove, re-seat, or clean the insole if necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

  1. Pull to Tighten: Grasp the Quicklace toggle and pull it upwards along the laces until the desired tension is achieved across your foot.
  2. Secure the Toggle: Push the toggle down towards the shoe's tongue to lock the laces in place.
  3. Stow Excess Lace: Tuck any excess lace and the toggle into the lace pocket located on the tongue of the shoe to prevent snagging.

  • Outdoor Performance: Ideal for activities requiring high durability, traction, and comfort in rugged environments.

Care Instructions

Proper care will extend the life and performance of your XT-6 sneakers:

  1. Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft brush or damp cloth with mild soap and water to gently clean the synthetic textile upper. Avoid harsh detergents.
  2. Cleaning the Outsole: After use, especially in muddy conditions, remove any debris from the Mud Contragrip outsole using a brush and water to maintain optimal grip.
  3. Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, as this can damage materials.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight.

> Info needed: Specific recommendations for insole removal for cleaning.
