FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While the XT-6 was originally designed as a high-performance trail runner, many users today prefer it as a durable lifestyle shoe. It is capable of light running, but modern specialized running shoes may offer more specific cushioning for high-mileage training.
How should I clean my Salomon XT-6s?
Wipe them down with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid soaking them or using a washing machine, as high heat and heavy agitation can degrade the technical components.
Does the XT-6 run true to size?
The XT-6 features a performance fit that is intended to be secure. If you prefer a roomier feel, consider trying a half-size up.
What is the ACS chassis?
The Agile Chassis System (ACS) is a stabilization technology that provides support and helps maintain stability, especially on irregular surfaces.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the OrthoLite sockliners are removable and can be replaced with custom orthotics if preferred.
Troubleshooting
Laces feel loose after walking
Ensure the Quicklace toggle is fully engaged and the excess lace is tucked securely into the tongue pocket to prevent snagging.
Foot feels slightly cramped
The XT-6 has a technical, snug fit. Ensure you are wearing thinner socks or adjust the tension of the lacing system to distribute pressure more evenly across the midfoot.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your XT-6 trainers perform their best, start by utilizing the Quicklace system; pull the toggle to secure the fit, then tuck the excess lace into the dedicated storage pocket on the tongue. For cleaning, remove surface dirt with a soft brush and clean the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap; avoid machine washing as this can damage the technical materials. Ensure the shoes air-dry naturally away from direct heat sources to maintain the integrity of the EVA midsole and the adhesive bonds. The unisex sizing allows for easy pairing with various socks, though a medium-thickness athletic sock is recommended to optimize the OrthoLite sockliner experience.
