FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for everyday wear?
Yes, the Salomon Advanced XT-6 GTX trainers are designed for performance but are also comfortable and protective enough for everyday wear, especially in varied weather conditions.
How do I ensure the best fit with Quicklace™?
Pull the laces evenly and firmly. Tuck the excess lace into the pocket on the tongue. The system is designed for a snug fit that adapts to your foot during activity.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the GORE-TEX membrane and shoe construction. Hand wash with mild soap and water, and air dry.
What is the main advantage of the GORE-TEX material?
GORE-TEX provides a waterproof barrier, keeping your feet dry from external moisture, while also allowing internal moisture (sweat) to escape, thus maintaining breathability.
How durable is the Contagrip® outsole?
The Contagrip® outsole is made from a durable rubber compound designed for longevity and consistent grip, even after significant use on rough terrain.
What does 'GTX' stand for in the product name?
GTX is an abbreviation for GORE-TEX, indicating that the trainers feature GORE-TEX waterproof membrane technology.
Is this model suitable for wide feet?
The SensiFit™ construction offers a secure fit for various foot shapes. While not specifically a wide-fit shoe, the adaptive lacing and construction can accommodate many foot types. Trying them on is always recommended if possible.
Troubleshooting
Water seeping into the trainers
Ensure GORE-TEX membrane is intact. Check for damage to the upper or seams. Allow trainers to dry completely and consider re-applying a DWR treatment to the exterior if the issue persists with moderate wetness.
Laces not staying tight
Ensure the Quicklace™ toggle is fully engaged. Check that the lace pocket is not overstuffed, which can sometimes interfere with the locking mechanism. Ensure laces are not frayed.
Discomfort during initial wear
This is common due to the supportive nature of the shoe. Wear them for shorter periods initially and gradually increase duration to allow the shoe to conform to your foot.
Reduced grip on surfaces
Clean the Contagrip® outsole to remove embedded mud or debris. Worn-out lugs can also reduce grip; consider replacement if extensively used.
