FAQs
Are these trainers waterproof?
The Salomon XT-6 Expanse Leather trainers are water-resistant due to the leather material and construction, but they are not fully waterproof. They can handle light rain or splashes, but prolonged immersion in water is not recommended.
How do I adjust the Quicklace™ system?
Pull the laces upwards to tighten the shoe until it feels secure. To loosen, pull the small plastic tab on the lace lock. Excess lace can be stored in the pocket on the tongue.
What is the difference between these and the standard XT-6?
The Expanse Leather version features a premium leather upper, offering a more refined aesthetic and increased durability compared to the standard mesh versions. The core technology and performance features remain similar.
Can I use these for serious trail running?
While inspired by trail running aesthetics and offering good traction, these trainers are best suited for light trails, hiking, and everyday wear. For aggressive trail running, consider Salomon's dedicated trail running shoe models.
How do I choose the right size?
Refer to Salomon's sizing chart for accurate measurements. It is often recommended to try them on if possible, as the fit can be snug. The UK 8.5 listed is a specific size; consult the chart for conversions.
What is the warranty period?
Warranty information can vary by region and retailer. Please check the product packaging or the retailer's website for specific warranty details.
Troubleshooting
Laces not tightening properly
Ensure the excess lace is not caught in the Quicklace™ mechanism. Pull the laces firmly and evenly. Check if the lace lock is functioning correctly; if damaged, contact customer support.
Discomfort or rubbing
Break in the shoes by wearing them for short periods initially. Ensure the socks you wear are appropriate for athletic footwear. Adjust the Quicklace™ system for a more personalized fit. If discomfort persists, consider if the sizing is correct.
Leather scuffs or marks
For minor scuffs, try using a leather conditioner or a specialized leather eraser. For deeper marks, consult a professional leather repair service.
Slippery outsole
Ensure the outsole is clean and free from mud or debris. The Contagrip® outsole is designed for grip, but performance can be affected by excessive dirt buildup. If wear is evident on the tread, it may be time to consider replacement.
Pros and Cons

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These trainers come ready to wear. The Quicklace™ system allows for immediate adjustment to your foot. Simply pull the laces tight until a secure fit is achieved, then tuck the excess lace into the lace pocket on the tongue.
Compatibility: Suitable for adult use across various casual and light outdoor activities. They pair well with activewear, athleisure, and casual outfits.
Care:
- Cleaning: Gently wipe the leather upper with a slightly damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, use a leather cleaner specifically designed for this type of material. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive brushes.
- Drying: If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the leather.
- Protection: Consider using a leather protectant spray to help repel water and stains, especially if you plan to wear them in varied weather conditions.
