FAQs
Are the Salomon XT-6 trainers waterproof?
The standard Salomon XT-6 trainers are water-resistant rather than fully waterproof. They are designed to handle wet conditions and light rain, but are not intended for submersion in water.
How do I determine the correct size?
Consult the Salomon sizing chart for accurate measurements. The XT-6 generally runs true to size for many, but due to the SensiFit™ system, a snug fit is intended. Consider trying them on if possible, or check user reviews for fit feedback.
Can I use these for everyday walking?
Yes, the XT-6 is highly suitable for everyday walking. Its durable construction, comfortable cushioning, and supportive chassis provide excellent comfort and protection for urban environments and daily activities.
What is the main difference between XT-6 and other Salomon models?
The XT-6 is specifically known for its balance of aggressive trail performance features (like advanced traction and chassis support) combined with a distinctive, often retro-inspired aesthetic that also appeals for lifestyle wear. Many other Salomon models focus more heavily on pure trail running or hiking.
How often should I clean my XT-6 trainers?
Clean your trainers as needed, especially after muddy or dirty excursions. Regular light cleaning after each significant use will help maintain their appearance and performance. Ensure they are fully dry before storing.
Is the Quicklace™ system difficult to use?
The Quicklace™ system is designed for simplicity and speed. It may take a few uses to get accustomed to, but most users find it very convenient for quick adjustments and secure fastening without traditional knots.
Troubleshooting
Quicklace™ system won't tighten properly.
Ensure the laces are not tangled and that the toggle is fully engaged. Check the lace channel for any debris that might be obstructing movement.
Feet feel uncomfortable or have hot spots.
Ensure the Quicklace™ system is not overtightened. Consider wearing the shoes for shorter periods initially to allow for a break-in period. Experiment with sock thickness.
Traction seems reduced on wet surfaces.
Clean the outsole thoroughly to remove any mud or debris that may be caked in the tread. The Contagrip® outsole performs best when clean. Ensure the shoes are not worn out.
Squeaking noise from the shoes.
This can sometimes occur with new shoes or due to moisture. Try applying a small amount of talcum powder or a dry lubricant between the tongue and laces, or inside the shoe if the insole is removable.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Lacing: The primary setup involves adjusting the Quicklace™ system. Pull the laces to tighten and push the toggle to loosen. Tuck the excess lace into the lace pocket on the tongue to prevent it from snagging.
Compatibility:
- Socks: Compatible with most standard athletic socks. For best results with the Quicklace™ system, avoid overly thick socks that may cause discomfort.
- Insoles: While designed for comfort, users may replace the stock insoles with custom orthotics if needed, provided they are of a similar thickness.
Care:
- Cleaning: After use, remove excess dirt with a brush. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing or harsh chemicals, as they can damage the materials and construction.
- Drying: Allow the trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in direct sunlight, as this can cause materials to degrade or warp.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally in a breathable shoe bag or on a rack, to maintain their shape and prevent odor buildup.
