FAQs
Are the Salomon XT-6 trainers waterproof?
Yes, this model features a GORE-TEX membrane specifically designed to block moisture while allowing the foot to breathe.
Can I use these for road running?
While they are comfortable enough for occasional road use, they are optimized for trails and uneven terrain.
How do I tighten the Quicklace system?
Simply pull the lace loop upwards to tighten and slide the toggle down toward the tongue to secure it in place.
Should I size up for these trainers?
The XT-6 generally fits true to size, but if you prefer wearing thick hiking socks, you may consider a half-size larger than your standard casual shoe.
Are the sockliners removable?
Yes, the OrthoLite sockliners are removable, which is useful for cleaning or replacing with custom orthotics.
Troubleshooting
Laces feel too tight across the bridge of the foot
Loosen the Quicklace toggle and redistribute the tension across the eyelets before pulling the lace tight again.
Visible dirt buildup in the outsole lugs
Use a stiff-bristled brush to dislodge compacted mud or gravel from the contaGRIP patterns to restore traction.
Feeling dampness inside the shoe after use
Remove the OrthoLite sockliner and allow it to dry separately; ensure the shoe is stored in a well-ventilated area.
Pros and Cons

- High-traction outsole suitable for diverse terrains

Cons
- Technical construction may feel stiff initially

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best performance, tighten the Quicklace system evenly across the foot to prevent pressure points. When storing, keep the trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources, which can degrade the GORE-TEX membrane. For maintenance, remove surface dirt using a soft brush. If the trainers become heavily soiled, wash them by hand in lukewarm water using mild soap, and always allow them to air dry naturally. Avoid machine washing or using harsh chemical cleaners, as these can damage the specialized synthetic materials and the waterproof coating.
