FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for wide feet?
The SensiFit™ technology provides a snug and adaptable fit, but individuals with very wide feet might find them snug. We recommend trying them on if possible or checking customer reviews regarding fit for wider feet.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are typically removable and can be replaced with custom orthotics or different insoles if desired.
How do I clean the mesh upper?
Use a soft brush to remove dry dirt. For stains, gently wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing to preserve the material's integrity.
What is the intended use of the Salomon Advanced XT-6?
The XT-6 is a high-performance trail running shoe, but its comfort and durability make it suitable for various outdoor activities like hiking, fastpacking, and general rugged use, as well as casual wear.
How does the Quicklace™ system work?
The Quicklace™ system allows for one-pull tightening and loosening. A lace lock secures the fit, and excess lace can be stored in a small pocket on the tongue.
What is the material of the outsole?
The outsole is made of Contagrip®, a durable rubber compound designed to provide excellent traction on a variety of surfaces.
Are these trainers waterproof?
These trainers are not fully waterproof but offer good water resistance due to their materials and construction. They are designed to handle wet conditions and quick drying.
Troubleshooting
Laces not tightening properly
Ensure the lace lock is fully engaged. Check the Quicklace™ cord for any damage or fraying. If frayed, the lace system may need replacement.
Discomfort after initial wear
The shoes may require a break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time. Ensure the fit is correctly adjusted using the Quicklace™ system.
Reduced traction on wet surfaces
Clean the Contagrip® outsole to remove any mud or debris that may be impeding grip. The performance of the outsole can be affected by accumulated dirt.
Material wear on the toe cap
While designed for durability, excessive abrasion can still occur. Ensure proper fit to prevent rubbing and consider terrain when assessing wear.
