Troubleshooting
Laces frequently come undone
Ensure you are tying a secure knot. A double knot can provide extra security for active wear. Check if laces are worn and consider replacing them if they've lost their texture.
General discomfort after extended wear
Verify you have the correct size. Footwear comfort is highly individual; consider experimenting with different types of socks or after-market insoles to enhance personalized comfort.
Minor dirt or scuffs on the shoe
Gently clean the affected areas with a soft, damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. For tougher spots, a soft brush (like an old toothbrush) can be used carefully. Air dry completely.
Squeaking sounds while walking
This can sometimes be caused by friction between the insole and the shoe's interior. Try removing the insole, dusting the inside of the shoe with cornstarch or baby powder, then reinserting the insole. If it persists, check for any loose components.

Care
To ensure the longevity and appearance of your Salomon XT-6:
- Cleaning: For minor dirt and scuffs, use a soft, damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap (e.g., dish soap). Gently wipe the affected areas. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive brushes.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources (like radiators or direct sunlight), as this can damage materials.
- Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider using shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
- Laces: If laces become dirty, they can often be hand-washed separately with mild soap and water.
