FAQs
Is the Salomon XT-6 suitable for casual wear?
While designed for extreme running, its technical silhouette has become popular in fashion circles; however, it remains a performance shoe at heart.
Are these trainers waterproof?
The XT-6 is designed for weather resistance and durability, but they are not strictly classified as fully waterproof.
Does the XT-6 come in different widths?
The standard XT-6 model features a performance-oriented fit that works for most neutral runners; sizing is consistent with standard UK measurements.
How often should I replace my XT-6 trainers?
For consistent runners, it is recommended to replace them every 300 to 500 miles, depending on the intensity of your terrain.
Can I use custom insoles?
Yes, the stock insoles are removable, allowing you to insert orthotics if required for additional arch support.
Is the XT-6 unisex?
Yes, the Salomon XT-6 is designed as a unisex model, ensuring the same technical performance standards are available across all sizes.
Troubleshooting
Feeling pressure points during initial use
Adjust the lacing system to distribute tension more evenly across the midfoot.
Accumulation of debris inside the shoe
Ensure the collar sits snugly and consider using gaiters if running on loose, sandy, or rocky terrain.
Loss of traction on smooth surfaces
Clean the outsole thoroughly; mud or compacted dirt can reduce the grip profile of the rubber lugs.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longest lifespan for your Salomon XT-6 trainers, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Fitting: Ensure you select the correct UK size, as the XT-6 has a technical fit intended to lock the foot in place.
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush after every run. If the trainers become heavily soiled, hand wash them with lukewarm water and a mild detergent. Avoid machine washing or drying, as high heat can degrade the adhesive and cushioning materials.
- Drying: Air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent material warping.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place to prevent moisture buildup inside the lining.
