FAQs
Are the Salomon XT-6 shoes waterproof?
The standard XT-6 uses a breathable mesh upper that prioritizes ventilation over complete waterproofing.
Can I use these for long-distance hiking?
Yes, the Agile Chassis and OrthoLite cushioning are specifically designed to provide comfort and stability over long distances.
How do I replace the Quicklace system?
Salomon offers replacement lace kits; you can thread new laces through the eyelets using the same path as the factory-installed ones.
Are these shoes true to size?
The XT-6 generally fits true to size, but the performance fit is snug due to the EndoFit sleeve; consider trying them on with your preferred hiking socks.
Is the insole removable?
Yes, the OrthoLite insole is removable, allowing you to insert custom orthotics if required.
Troubleshooting
Lace tension feels uneven across the foot
Loosen the Quicklace completely, ensure the tongue is centered, and re-tighten gradually from the bottom up.
Accumulation of debris inside the shoe
Ensure the Quicklace pocket is fully closed and the sockliner is seated correctly to minimize gaps.
Outsole loses grip due to mud caking
Use a stiff-bristled brush to clear out the channels between the Contagrip lugs after the mud has dried slightly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your XT-6 shoes, start by adjusting the Quicklace system to your preferred tension; avoid over-tightening as the internal sleeve is designed to secure the foot naturally. For maintenance, remove loose dirt after every hike using a soft brush. If the shoes become muddy, hand wash them with lukewarm water and a mild soap—avoid using a washing machine, as the heat and agitation can damage the adhesive and technical fabrics. Always air dry your shoes away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, to prevent the material from cracking or warping.
