FAQs

Are the Salomon XT-6 trainers waterproof?

The Salomon XT-6 features a single-layer mesh upper, which provides good breathability. While the TPU overlays offer some protection, the trainers are not explicitly designed to be fully waterproof. For wet conditions, consider using waterproof socks or looking for a Salomon model with Gore-Tex or similar waterproof membranes.

How do I clean my Salomon XT-6 trainers?

Gently brush off any loose dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth with a mild soap and lukewarm water to wipe down the mesh upper, TPU overlays, and outsole. Avoid machine washing or using harsh chemicals, and allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat.

What activities are these trainers best suited for?

The XT-6 trainers are ideal for trail running, light hiking, walking on varied terrains, and everyday urban exploration where comfort, durability, and multi-directional traction are beneficial.

How does the Quicklace system work?

The Quicklace system uses a strong, minimalistic lace that tightens with a single pull. To tighten, simply pull the cord through the toggle until you achieve a snug fit. To loosen, press the release button on the toggle and pull the tongue of the shoe. Any excess lace can be tucked into the lace pocket on the tongue.

Are the XT-6 trainers true to size?

Salomon trainers generally run true to size. Based on your UK 12 size, we recommend purchasing your usual trainer size. If you are between sizes or prefer a specific fit, you might consult Salomon's size guide or try them on.

What is EnergyCell in the midsole?

EnergyCell is a high-rebound midsole compound from Salomon that provides exceptional energy return, substantial cushioning, and durability. It helps absorb impact and propels you forward, reducing fatigue during long periods of activity.

What is OrthoLite cushioning?

OrthoLite insoles are designed to provide superior cushioning, breathability, and durability. They are lightweight, resist compression, and have moisture-wicking properties, ensuring long-lasting comfort and a cooler, drier foot environment.

Troubleshooting

Quicklace system feels too tight or too loose.

Ensure the Quicklace cord is pulled evenly when tightening. If too tight, press the toggle release and gently pull the tongue of the shoe to loosen. For a looser fit, press the toggle and pull the lace through.

Reduced traction on certain surfaces.

Check the outsole lugs for embedded debris (mud, small stones) and clean them thoroughly. Ensure the outsoles are dry before use if possible, as moisture can sometimes affect grip on very smooth surfaces.

Unpleasant odour develops inside the trainers.

Remove the OrthoLite insoles and allow both the insoles and trainers to air dry completely. You can use shoe deodorizers or a small amount of baking soda left inside the shoes overnight to absorb moisture and smells.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Using your Salomon XT-6 trainers is straightforward:

  1. Lacing: Loosen the Quicklace system by pulling the toggles upwards and away from the foot, then separate the laces to create enough room to insert your foot.
  2. Fitting: Slide your foot into the trainer, ensuring your heel is comfortably seated.
  3. Tightening: Pull the end of the Quicklace cord firmly and evenly to achieve a snug, secure fit. The excess lace can be tucked into the lace pocket on the tongue to prevent snagging.

Compatibility

These trainers are designed for versatility. They are compatible with a wide range of athletic and casual wear. Their technical features make them suitable for:

  • Trail running
  • Hiking and walking on varied terrains
  • Urban exploration and daily wear
  • Gym workouts (though specific gym shoes might offer different advantages)

Care

Proper care will extend the life and maintain the performance of your XT-6 trainers:

  • Cleaning: After use, especially on muddy or dusty trails, gently brush off loose dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap and lukewarm water to wipe down the mesh upper and TPU overlays. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
  • Drying: Allow trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, as this can damage materials.
  • Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight.
  • Odour Control: If odours develop, remove insoles and allow them to air dry. You can use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight to absorb smells.
