FAQs
Are the Salomon XT-6 trainers waterproof?
The Salomon XT-6 trainers are not fully waterproof. They offer good water resistance due to their materials, but are designed more for breathability and quick drying. For very wet conditions, specialized waterproof footwear is recommended.
How do I adjust the Quicklace™ system?
To tighten, pull the laces firmly upwards. To loosen, use the toggle to release tension. Ensure the excess lace is tucked securely into the lace pocket to prevent snagging.
What is the primary intended use for the XT-6?
The XT-6 was originally designed for ultra-distance trail running and excels in technical terrain. However, it is also widely adopted for everyday wear due to its comfort and distinctive style.
How should I clean my XT-6 trainers?
Clean with a soft brush to remove loose dirt. Use a damp cloth with mild soap for tougher spots. Always air dry away from direct heat.
Do these trainers run true to size?
Sizing can vary slightly between individuals and shoe models. It is recommended to consult the Salomon sizing chart and consider trying them on if possible. Many users find they fit true to size, but personal preference for snugness can influence the perceived fit.
Can I wear these trainers for road running?
While the XT-6 can be used for road running, they are optimized for trail conditions. For dedicated road running, shoes with specific road-running cushioning and tread patterns might be more suitable.
Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too tight or uncomfortable
Adjust the Quicklace™ system for a more personalized fit. Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. If discomfort persists, consider socks of different thickness or consult sizing guides.
Traction is reduced on wet surfaces
Clean the outsole of the trainers to remove any mud or debris that may be affecting grip. Be aware that while designed for varied terrain, extremely slippery surfaces may still pose a challenge.
Laces are difficult to tighten or loosen
Ensure the Quicklace™ mechanism is free of dirt or debris. Try gently wiggling the cord lock while adjusting. If the cord is damaged, it may need replacement.
Water seeps into the shoe during heavy rain
The XT-6 trainers are designed for breathability and may not be fully waterproof. For extremely wet conditions, consider waterproof socks or gaiters.

- Drying: Allow the trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can deform the shoe.
