Salomon XT-6 - White - UK 9

Gently brush off loose dirt. For the synthetic and textile upper, use a damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents. Allow them to air dry completely at room temperature, away from direct heat.

The Quicklace™ system is a minimalist, strong lace for one-pull tightening. To use, pull the lace until the desired tightness is achieved, then secure the toggle. Excess lace and the toggle can be stored in the lace pocket on the tongue. To loosen, press the toggle and pull the laces apart.

While designed for demanding trail running and outdoor adventures, the Salomon XT-6's comfort, durability, and distinctive design make it a popular choice for everyday casual wear as well. They offer excellent support and cushioning for daily activities.

The XT-6 is optimized for challenging, technical, and varied terrains, including muddy trails, rocky paths, and uneven surfaces. The Mud Contagrip outsole provides exceptional traction in these conditions, making them ideal for performance-oriented outdoor activities.

The OrthoLite® insole provides superior cushioning for long-term comfort, high-level breathability to keep your feet cool, and moisture management properties to help wick away sweat, contributing to a healthier shoe environment.

Like most performance footwear, a short break-in period is recommended, especially before long-distance runs or intense activities. Wear them for shorter periods initially to allow the shoes to conform to your feet and ensure optimal comfort.

Adjust the Quicklace toggle for optimal comfort. Ensure the lace is evenly distributed over the top of your foot. If it's consistently too tight, try a thinner sock. If too loose, pull tighter until snug, then tuck into the lace pocket.

Check the Mud Contagrip outsole for embedded mud or debris. Clean the lugs thoroughly with a brush and water after each use to maintain maximum traction. Worn out lugs may indicate it's time for a replacement.

Ensure your lacing isn't too tight or too loose. Experiment with different sock types (e.g., moisture-wicking, padded). Make sure you've broken in the shoes properly before attempting ultra-distances. The OrthoLite® insole provides comfort, but proper sizing is also key.

Establish a routine of cleaning your shoes immediately after use, especially after muddy outings. Use a soft brush and a damp cloth with mild soap. For stubborn stains, a specialized shoe cleaner for synthetic materials may be used. Air dry completely.

Remove the OrthoLite® insoles and air dry them. You can also sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes and insoles overnight to absorb odors. Ensure shoes are fully dry after each use, as moisture can lead to bacterial growth and odor.
