Full details

FAQs
Are the Salomon XT-6 trainers waterproof?
The XT-6 trainers are designed with breathable textile linings and synthetic/textile uppers, making them water-resistant rather than fully waterproof. They offer protection against light rain and splashes but are not intended for submersion in water.
How do I find the right size?
Refer to the product's size guide and measure your foot length. The SensiFit™ and EndoFit™ technologies ensure a precise fit, so selecting the correct size is crucial. Comparing with your usual UK shoe size is recommended, but precise measurement is best.
Can I use these for serious trail running?
The XT-6 is excellent for light trail use and mixed-terrain. For extreme off-road conditions, very technical descents, or ultra-marathons, you might consider models with more aggressive support and protection features from Salomon's dedicated trail running lines.
How durable is the Mud contaGRIP® outsole?
The Mud contaGRIP® outsole is made from durable rubber compounds designed to provide excellent traction and withstand abrasion on various surfaces. Regular cleaning and avoiding excessive wear on abrasive surfaces will help maintain its longevity.
What is the main difference between the XT-6 and other Salomon shoes?
The XT-6 is specifically designed to blend sportstyle aesthetics with trail-running performance. It offers a balance of cushioning, stability, and grip suitable for urban environments and lighter trails, distinguishing it from more specialized hiking or aggressive trail running models.
How often should I clean my Salomon XT-6 trainers?
It's recommended to clean your trainers after particularly muddy or dirty use. For general wear, a wipe-down with a damp cloth every few uses can help maintain their appearance and prevent dirt buildup.
Troubleshooting
Laces won't stay tight
Ensure the QuickLace knot is tied securely. If the lace tensioner is worn, consider replacing the QuickLace system.
Discomfort or rubbing
Adjust the QuickLace tension. Ensure the EndoFit™ internal sleeve provides a snug but not constricting fit. Check sock fit and consider if a different size is needed.
Reduced grip on surfaces
Clean the Mud contaGRIP® outsole thoroughly to remove packed mud or debris. Inspect the tread for excessive wear.
Foot odour after use
Remove and air out the OrthoLite® insole after each use. Regularly wash the insoles and ensure shoes are completely dry before storing.

Care:
- Cleaning the Upper: Wipe the synthetic and textile upper with a damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Cleaning the Midsole and Outsole: Clean with a damp cloth or a soft brush. Ensure any mud or debris is removed from the Mud contaGRIP® lugs.
