FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
The standard XT-6 model features a protective membrane, but for full weather protection, look for the 'GTX' (GORE-TEX) designated versions.
How do I clean the mesh upper?
Use a damp cloth and mild detergent to spot-clean the mesh. Avoid harsh chemicals that could degrade the synthetic materials.
Are these suitable for long-distance running?
They are designed as high-performance trainers capable of handling long distances, though comfort is subjective based on individual foot arch and support needs.
How does the sizing run?
The Salomon XT-6 generally follows standard athletic sizing; however, since they offer a secure, technical fit, some users prefer a half-size up for extra room in the toe box.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the OrthoLite sockliners are removable and can be replaced with custom orthotics if required.
What is the primary surface for the XT-6?
These shoes are designed for mixed-terrain use, performing best on trails, gravel, and varied outdoor surfaces.
Troubleshooting
Quicklace feels too loose or tight during activity
Adjust the tension at the base of the laces near the toe box before pulling the slider to lock, then tuck the excess cord into the dedicated lace pocket.
Outsole collecting debris
The wide lug pattern on the Contagrip outsole is designed to self-clear, but if debris persists, use a stiff brush to clear the channels between the lugs.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Salomon XT-6 trainers last, follow these care instructions:
- Fitting: Ensure you are wearing the appropriate socks for your activity to get the most out of the OrthoLite liner.
- Cleaning: After trail use, remove excess mud with a soft-bristled brush. Hand-wash with warm water and mild soap if necessary; avoid the washing machine to preserve the integrity of the welded overlays.
- Drying: Air dry naturally in a cool, shaded area. Do not place near direct heat sources like radiators, as high heat can damage the foam midsole and adhesive bonds.
- Storage: Store in a dry, ventilated area to prevent moisture buildup within the mesh layers.
