FAQs
Are the Salomon XT-6 trainers waterproof?
The XT-6 features a breathable mesh upper which is not fully waterproof. While they offer some protection against light moisture, they are not designed for heavy rain or submersion.
How do I find the right size?
We recommend measuring your foot length and comparing it to the sizing chart provided by Salomon. The SensiFIT construction means a proper fit is crucial for comfort and performance.
Can I use these for long-distance running?
Yes, the XT-6 was originally designed for trail running and features cushioning and stability suitable for longer distances on varied terrain.
What is the main difference between this 'Ember' version and other XT-6 models?
The 'Ember' version, particularly this size? exclusive model, features a specific 'Ember' colourway (red and black with orange gradient mesh) and may include unique dual branding elements related to specific collaborations or anniversaries.
How durable is the Contagrip outsole?
Contagrip is known for its durability and is designed to withstand regular use on abrasive surfaces, providing consistent traction over time.
Are these suitable for winter conditions?
While the Contagrip outsole offers good traction, the mesh upper is not insulated and the shoes are not waterproof, making them best suited for milder conditions rather than deep snow or icy terrain.
Troubleshooting
Laces not tightening properly
Ensure the Quicklace system is correctly threaded and the tension lock is engaged. Check for any debris in the lace channel.
Discomfort or rubbing
Verify you have the correct size and that the SensiFIT system is properly adjusted. Break in the shoes with shorter wears before extended use.
Reduced traction on wet surfaces
Clean the Contagrip outsole to remove any mud or debris that may be hindering grip. The outsole is designed for versatile traction, but extreme conditions can impact performance.
Upper material appears faded
Avoid prolonged direct sunlight exposure when storing or drying the shoes, as this can cause colours to fade over time. Clean gently with mild solutions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
