FAQs
Are the Salomon XT-6 trainers waterproof?
The standard XT-6 features breathable materials and is not classified as waterproof, though it is durable enough to handle light moisture.
Can I use these for actual trail running?
Yes, they were originally designed for top-tier trail runners and offer the stability and grip necessary for technical off-road terrain.
How should I clean the exterior of the shoes?
Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dried mud and a damp cloth with mild detergent for any remaining marks.
Is the sizing true to fit?
The XT-6 generally fits true to size, but the structural design provides a snug, performance-oriented fit compared to loose casual shoes.
Can I replace the speed laces?
While the speed lacing system is highly durable, they are integrated into the shoe design; if they fail, seek professional repair or consult official Salomon maintenance guides.
What is the purpose of the ACS chassis?
The Agile Chassis System is designed to provide stability and motion control, preventing the foot from rolling while navigating uneven surfaces.
Troubleshooting
Laces feel too tight or loose
Adjust the lace toggle at the base of the speed lacing system to redistribute tension across the upper.
Difficulty putting on the shoe
Ensure the speed lacing system is fully loosened by sliding the toggle all the way toward the toe box before inserting your foot.
Insole becomes damp during wear
Remove the OrthoLite sockliner after activity to allow it to air dry separately, which helps maintain hygiene and shape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Salomon XT-6, start by utilizing the speed lacing system to find your preferred tension. Avoid pulling the laces excessively hard; adjust them until snug, then tuck the excess lace into the dedicated pocket located on the tongue. For cleaning, remove surface dirt with a soft brush and use a damp cloth with mild soap for deeper stains. Always air dry away from direct heat sources to preserve the integrity of the materials and the EVA midsole. These trainers are unisex, but be sure to verify your specific UK sizing requirement, as the fit is precise and tailored to performance standards.
