FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
The XT-6 is designed for breathability and durability, but it is not marketed as a fully waterproof shoe.
Can I use these for road running?
While capable on pavement, the Mud Contagrip lugs are optimized for softer, uneven, and rugged trail surfaces.
How should I clean the mesh upper?
Gently wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals that may strip the protective coating.
Are these true to size?
The XT-6 generally fits true to size, but consider the type of socks you intend to wear for trail activities.
What is the primary surface intended for this shoe?
They perform best on loose, soft, or uneven outdoor terrain where grip and protection are priorities.
Troubleshooting
Build-up of mud in the outsole lugs
Use a stiff-bristled brush to dislodge debris after every trail run to maintain peak grip performance.
Discomfort or pinching during long runs
Check your lace tension; the XT-6 features a streamlined design that is sensitive to over-tightening.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Salomon XT-6 Trainers, proper maintenance is essential. For the initial setup, ensure the fit is snug but allows for natural foot swelling during exercise. When cleaning, avoid using a washing machine, as the heat and agitation can degrade the TPU film and adhesives. Instead, rinse the shoes with lukewarm water and a soft brush to remove mud and debris from the lugs of the sole. Allow them to air dry in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight or artificial heat sources, which can warp the materials.
