FAQs
Are the Salomon XT-6 Expanse trainers waterproof?
The XT-6 Expanse trainers are water-resistant but not fully waterproof. They are designed to handle wet conditions and provide good protection against splashes, but they are not intended for submersion.
How do I choose the right size?
It is recommended to consult the sizing chart provided by Salomon. Many users find that the XT-6 Expanse fits true to size, but if you are between sizes, consider trying the larger size for a bit more room, especially if you plan to wear thicker socks.
Can I use these for road running?
While the XT-6 Expanse is primarily designed for trail running and offers excellent grip on varied terrain, they can be used for road running. However, for dedicated road running, shoes with specific road-focused cushioning and tread patterns might offer a more optimal experience.
How do I clean the Quicklace™ system?
You can wipe the Quicklace™ toggle and lace channel with a damp cloth. Ensure no debris is lodged in the mechanism. Avoid using harsh chemicals.
What is the main difference between the XT-6 and XT-6 Expanse series?
The XT-6 Expanse series generally focuses on updated materials and colorways while retaining the core performance features of the original XT-6 design, making them suitable for both athletic pursuits and everyday style.
Are these trainers suitable for wide feet?
The XT-6 Expanse features Salomon's SensiFit™ technology, which offers a secure fit. While it can accommodate a range of foot shapes, individuals with significantly wide feet may find them snug. Adjusting the Quicklace™ system can provide some customization.
Troubleshooting
Laces not tightening properly
Ensure the Quicklace™ toggle is fully engaged. Check the lace channel for any debris that might be obstructing the mechanism. If the lace is frayed, it may need replacement.
Slight rubbing or discomfort
Ensure the correct size has been selected. Try adjusting the Quicklace™ system for a more personalized fit. Wear with appropriate athletic socks. Break-in period may be required for initial comfort.
Reduced grip on wet surfaces
Clean the Contagrip® outsole thoroughly to remove any mud or debris that might be filling the lugs. Ensure the shoes are not excessively worn, as this can diminish traction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: The XT-6 Expanse trainers are designed for athletic and casual use. They are compatible with standard athletic socks. While they are designed for outdoor use, they are also suitable for indoor activities where good grip and support are needed.
Care:
- Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft brush or a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. For stubborn stains, a mild soap can be used sparingly, followed by a thorough wipe with a clean, damp cloth.
- Cleaning the Sole: Remove mud and dirt from the outsole with a brush. A hose can be used to rinse off any remaining residue.
- Drying: Allow the trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can damage the materials.
