Product Information
Full details
The Salomon XT-6 is an elite, high-performance trainer designed for individuals who demand versatility, blending rugged outdoor heritage with modern urban utility. It features a waterproof GORE-TEX membrane, durable nylon and mesh construction, and the specialized ACS chassis for maximum stability, making it ideal for both long-distance trail running and daily wear in unpredictable weather. While the shoe offers exceptional protection and grip, users should note that the technical, secure-fit construction may require a short breaking-in period to achieve optimal comfort.

FAQs
Are these shoes truly waterproof?
Yes, the integrated GORE-TEX membrane provides a waterproof seal while maintaining breathability for the foot.
How do I replace the laces?
The XT-6 uses Salomon's proprietary Quicklace system. If a lace breaks, you can purchase an official replacement kit specifically designed for Salomon speed laces.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
It is not recommended. Machine washing can damage the protective TPU films and the waterproof integrity of the GORE-TEX membrane.
What kind of terrain are they best for?
They are designed for technical trail use, offering high stability, but they are also highly effective for mixed-terrain urban environments.
Do the sizes run true to fit?
The XT-6 generally fits true to size for a performance trainer; however, if you plan to wear thick wool socks, some users prefer sizing up by a half size.
Troubleshooting
Laces feel too loose during activity
Ensure the Quicklace toggle is fully engaged and the lace end is tucked securely into the dedicated tongue pocket.
Visible dirt buildup in the outsole lugs
Use a stiff-bristled plastic brush to dislodge compacted mud, then rinse with water to restore traction.
Material stiffness out of the box
The protective TPU film and durable nylon construction soften with wear; perform short walks to break the shoe in before long-distance use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maximize the longevity of your Salomon XT-6, ensure you utilize the lace pocket found on the tongue to tuck away the excess Quicklace string after tightening. When cleaning, avoid harsh detergents; instead, use a soft brush and lukewarm water to remove mud from the Contagrip lugs. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can degrade the waterproof membrane or adhesive materials. If the OrthoLite sockliner becomes saturated, remove it and let it dry separately to maintain freshness.
