FAQs

What is SensiFit™ technology?

SensiFit™ is a system designed to cradle the foot from the midsole to the lacing system, providing a secure, snug, and personalized fit all around the foot.

Is the Mud Contagrip® suitable for all terrains?

Mud Contagrip® is specifically engineered for maximum grip on slippery, soft, rugged, and uneven surfaces. While versatile, it performs exceptionally well in muddy and wet conditions.

How do I determine my correct UK size?

Refer to the product's size chart or measure your foot from heel to toe and compare it to the provided sizing guide. It's recommended to try them on if possible, especially if you are between sizes.

Can these trainers be used for marathon running?

While they offer good cushioning and a secure fit, the XT-6 is primarily designed for trail running and varied terrain. For dedicated road marathon running, other Salomon models might offer more specialized cushioning and support.

Are these shoes waterproof?

The Salomon XT-6 Trainers are not inherently waterproof. They are designed with breathable materials for performance, which means they will not keep your feet dry in heavy rain or submersion.

How often should I clean my XT-6 trainers?

It's advisable to clean them after particularly dirty uses (e.g., after trail running in mud). For general wear, a light wipe-down as needed will suffice to maintain their appearance and performance.

What is the primary difference between XT-6 and other Salomon shoe lines?

The XT-6 is renowned for its balance of lightweight cushioning, secure fit, and robust traction, making it a favorite for both trail running and everyday style. Other lines may focus more on specific needs like extreme waterproofing, ultralight racing, or maximum support.

Troubleshooting

Fit feels too tight or loose

Adjust the Quicklace system by loosening or tightening the knot and re-securing. Ensure socks are of appropriate thickness.

Traction is reduced on very muddy surfaces

Clean the Mud Contagrip® outsole with water to remove embedded mud and restore grip.

Discomfort during initial wear

Wear the shoes for shorter periods initially to allow them to break in and conform to your foot shape. Ensure correct lacing tension.

Odors after use

Remove insoles and allow shoes to air out completely after each use. Consider using a shoe deodorizer or baking soda inside when storing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Salomon XT-6 Trainers are ready to wear out of the box. The lacing system allows for quick adjustments to achieve the desired fit. Ensure the laces are tied securely but not overly tight to benefit from the SensiFit™.

Compatibility: These trainers are designed for adult use and are compatible with standard sock sizes. They are suitable for a wide range of activities, from running and hiking to everyday casual wear.

Care:

  1. Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft brush or cloth with cool water and mild soap to gently clean the synthetic and mesh upper. Avoid harsh detergents.
  2. Cleaning the Midsole/Outsole: Wipe down the EVA midsole and rubber outsole with a damp cloth to remove dirt and mud.
  3. Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or prolonged exposure to sunlight, which can damage the materials.
  4. Laces: Hand wash laces separately if needed.
  5. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
