FAQs
Is the Salomon XT-6 waterproof?
The XT-6 is designed for breathability and performance; while it is durable, it is not marketed as waterproof.
Can I use these for marathon running?
While originally designed for trail running, many users find them comfortable for long-distance wear, though modern dedicated road racing shoes may offer different foam characteristics.
How do I replace the speed laces?
The speed lacing system is integrated. If you need a replacement, seek official Salomon repair kits to ensure compatibility with the eyelet structure.
Do these shoes run true to size?
The XT-6 generally fits true to size, but the performance-oriented construction means it is a more snug, athletic fit than casual lifestyle sneakers.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
It is not recommended. Hand washing with mild soap and a soft brush is the safest way to maintain the structural integrity and adhesive bonds of the shoe.
What is the purpose of the ACS chassis?
The Agile Chassis System provides stability and support, helping to stabilize the foot during rapid transitions or on uneven ground.
Troubleshooting
Laces feel loose after walking
Ensure the lace toggle is pulled firmly against the tongue and the excess lace is tucked securely into the lace pocket.
Dirt stuck in the outsole grooves
Use a stiff-bristled brush to dislodge debris from the Contagrip lugs after trail use to maintain optimal traction.
Foot feels slightly cramped
Loosen the speed laces entirely and re-tension starting from the bottom of the eyelets to allow for more volume.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent long-term stability and motion control
- Superior grip on multiple terrains thanks to Contagrip technology
- Convenient speed lacing system for quick adjustments
- Highly durable construction capable of withstanding heavy use
- Distinctive design that bridges athletic performance and lifestyle fashion
Cons
- Technical fit may feel narrow for those with wider feet
- More rigid structure than typical foam-based lifestyle shoes
- Speed laces require time to master for personalized tension
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best fit, adjust the speed lace toggle while wearing the shoe to ensure the tension is evenly distributed across your midfoot. Avoid over-tightening, as the synthetic materials are designed to hold their shape.
For care and maintenance:
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush. Use a damp cloth with mild soap for localized stains.
- Drying: Air dry in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can deform the EVA midsole.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place to ensure the longevity of the materials.
- Compatibility: The neutral arch profile makes these suitable for most standard foot shapes; if you use custom orthotics, ensure they fit within the internal volume of the shoe before replacing the standard OrthoLite sockliner.
