FAQs

How do I clean the TPU-coated mesh upper?

Use a soft brush or a damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For a more thorough clean, hand wash with mild soap and cool water, then air dry completely away from heat.

Can the QUICKLACE system be replaced?

Yes, replacement QUICKLACE kits are available from Salomon or authorized retailers. Follow the instructions provided with the replacement kit for installation.

What is the primary benefit of the ACS CHASSIS system?

The ACS CHASSIS system provides enhanced stability and shock absorption, offering a more controlled and comfortable ride on technical terrain by managing torsional flex and cushioning impacts.

Are these shoes suitable for everyday casual wear?

While comfortable, the XT-6 Advanced Hiking shoe is designed for performance in rugged outdoor conditions. Its specialized features are optimized for trail use, though they can be worn casually if preferred.

How durable is the CONTAGRIP sole?

The CONTAGRIP sole is engineered for high durability and superior grip across a wide range of surfaces. Its compound and tread pattern are designed to withstand significant wear from trail use.

What is the purpose of the SENSIFIT+ENDOFIT technology?

SENSIFIT+ENDOFIT technology provides a secure and precise foothold by wrapping the foot from the midsole to the lacing system, offering optimal comfort and support with minimal weight.

Can I wear these shoes in very cold weather?

These shoes are designed for general outdoor use and are not specifically insulated for extreme cold. For very cold conditions, consider adding thermal socks or looking for winter-specific footwear.

Troubleshooting

QUICKLACE system feels too tight or too loose.

Adjust the tension by carefully pulling the toggle upwards or downwards. Ensure the laces are evenly distributed before tightening. If laces are consistently slipping, check the toggle mechanism for wear.

Reduced grip on slippery surfaces.

Ensure the CONTAGRIP sole is clean of mud and debris. Check for significant wear on the outsole tread; if worn, replacement may be considered.

Water ingress despite waterproof upper.

Confirm that the shoe is fully sealed. Check the tongue and collar area for gaps. Minor wear or damage to the TPU coating could affect waterproofing over time; consider re-waterproofing treatments if needed.

Discomfort or rubbing during wear.

Ensure the correct size is being worn. Utilize the SENSIFIT+ENDOFIT technology by adjusting the lacing for a snug, secure fit without pressure points. Wear with appropriate hiking socks and allow for a break-in period.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

The Salomon XT-6 Advanced Hiking shoe is ready for use out of the box. The primary setup involves adjusting the QUICKLACE system to your preferred tightness. Simply pull the laces tight and secure them with the toggle. Tuck the excess lace into the integrated lace pocket on the tongue to prevent snagging.

Compatibility:

This shoe is designed for adult use and is compatible with standard hiking socks. It is best suited for trail running, hiking, and other outdoor activities requiring robust footwear.

Care:

  • Cleaning: After use, remove loose dirt and mud with a soft brush or damp cloth. For deeper cleaning, hand wash with mild soap and cool water. Do not machine wash.
  • Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
