FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
The XT-6 is designed for breathability. While it features durable TPU overlays, it is not fully waterproof.
What is the heel-to-toe drop?
The Salomon XT-6 features a 10 mm drop, which provides a balance of cushioning and stability.
Can I replace the Quicklace system?
Yes, Salomon offers replacement Quicklace kits if the original cords become worn or damaged.
How should I clean my XT-6 shoes?
Clean with a soft brush and water. Never submerge them in a washing machine as this can damage the structural adhesives.
Are these suitable for road running?
While they can be worn on roads, the aggressive Mud Contagrip lugs are optimized for trails and may wear down faster on hard, paved surfaces.
What is the benefit of the Agile Chassis?
The Agile Chassis provides a stable foundation that helps prevent excessive foot rolling on uneven ground, reducing fatigue.
Troubleshooting
Laces feeling too tight or loose
Adjust the Quicklace toggle to redistribute tension across the instep and ensure the lace is centered.
Accumulated dirt in the outsole
Use a stiff-bristled brush to dislodge compacted mud or small rocks from the lug pattern to restore traction.
Foot discomfort during long hikes
Check if the OrthoLite insole has shifted; remove and reposition it, or consider replacing it with custom inserts if additional arch support is needed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Salomon XT-6 shoes perform optimally, follow these guidelines:
- Fitting: Ensure the Quicklace system is tightened uniformly. The excess lace can be tucked into the lace pocket on the tongue to prevent snagging on branches.
- Break-in: Wear the shoes for shorter walks or light hikes before taking them on long-distance technical expeditions to allow the materials to adapt to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: After use in muddy conditions, remove dried mud with a soft brush. If necessary, rinse with lukewarm water. Avoid using a washing machine or tumble dryer, as heat can degrade the TPU overlays and glue.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the integrity of the synthetic materials and rubber soles.
