FAQs
What is Quicklace technology?
Quicklace is Salomon's minimalistic and strong lace for one-pull tightening. It allows for easy-on, easy-off, and a secure, customized fit with a simple pull of the tab.
How do I clean my SALOMON XT-6 Skyline shoes?
Brush off loose dirt, then wipe with a damp cloth using mild soap if necessary. Avoid machine washing or harsh chemicals. Allow to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
Are these shoes suitable for running?
Yes, the XT-6 Skyline is designed with performance features, including EVA cushioning and a grip-optimized outsole, making them suitable for trail running and active outdoor pursuits.
What does EVA cushioning do?
EVA (Ethylene-vinyl acetate) cushioning provides lightweight, responsive shock absorption, enhancing comfort and reducing impact on your feet and joints during prolonged activity.
Are these shoes waterproof?
The product description highlights a sublimated mesh and textile foundation. This indicates good breathability and durability, but does not explicitly state waterproof properties. They are not explicitly designed as waterproof. > Info needed: Specific waterproof rating or technology, if any.
How should I store my shoes when not in use?
Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or extreme temperatures. This helps maintain the integrity of the materials and extends the shoe's lifespan.
Troubleshooting
Quicklace feels too tight or too loose
To adjust, simply pull the Quicklace tab to tighten, or press the lace locker button and loosen the laces to achieve your desired comfort level. Ensure the lace locker is fully engaged for a secure fit.
Shoes feel less supportive or cushioned over time
The EVA cushioning is designed for longevity, but extreme use can cause compression. Consider replacing the insoles with fresh, supportive ones. If the outsole lugs are significantly worn, the shoe's performance may be compromised, indicating it might be time for a new pair.
Reduced grip on specific wet or slippery surfaces
While the geometrical lugged outsole provides excellent traction, no shoe offers universal grip on all surfaces. Ensure the outsole is clean of debris that could reduce traction. Be mindful of extremely slick surfaces like ice or polished wet rock, where even advanced outsoles have limits. > Info needed: Specific grip performance data for various wet surfaces.
Foot irritation or hot spots during long wear
Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks designed for athletic or outdoor use. The Quicklace system should be snug but not overtight. If issues persist, examine your foot size relative to the shoe; a different size or width might be necessary, or consider trying different lacing techniques for the Quicklace system.

Care Instructions
Proper care extends the life and maintains the performance of your XT-6 Skyline shoes:
- Cleaning: Gently brush off dry dirt with a soft brush. For tougher grime, wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh detergents or machine washing, as this can damage the materials and bonding.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, which can cause materials to warp or crack.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
- Quicklace Maintenance: Occasionally check the Quicklace system for any debris that might hinder its smooth operation. If needed, rinse with clean water and dry.
