FAQs
Are the Salomon XT-6 suitable for everyday wear?
Yes, the XT-6 combines trail performance with a sporty aesthetic, making them suitable for everyday wear, especially for those who prefer an active or athletic style.
How do I adjust the QUICKLACE™ system?
Pull the laces up to tighten and push down the lace lock to loosen. Tuck the excess lace into the lace garage on the tongue for a secure fit.
Can I replace the OrthoLite® insole?
Yes, the OrthoLite® insole is typically removable and can be replaced with your preferred insole or orthotic if needed, provided it is of a similar size and shape.
Are these shoes waterproof?
The XT-6 features a breathable textile upper and is not designed to be fully waterproof. They offer water resistance for light moisture but are not intended for prolonged submersion or heavy rain.
How do I clean mud off the shoes?
Use a soft brush to remove dry mud. For wet mud, rinse with water and use a damp cloth or sponge. Avoid machine washing or high-pressure water, as this can damage the materials.
What is the main difference between trail running shoes and these trainers?
While the XT-6 has trail-ready features like superior grip and stability, it's designed to bridge the gap between pure trail performance and urban style, making it versatile for various activities and environments.
What sizes are available?
The XT-6 is available in a range of adult unisex sizes. The specific size available for this variant is UK 6.
Troubleshooting
QUICKLACE™ system feels too tight or too loose.
Adjust the tension by pulling or loosening the lace lock. Ensure the lace is correctly positioned within the lock mechanism. For initial setup, experiment with different tightness levels to find your ideal fit.
Traction feels reduced on wet surfaces.
Ensure the CONTAGRIP® sole is clean and free from mud or debris. The sole's effectiveness can be diminished when clogged. For persistent issues, check the sole for excessive wear.
Foot feels uncomfortable or is rubbing.
Verify the SENSIFIT™ system is providing a secure, even fit without pressure points. Ensure you are using appropriate socks. The OrthoLite® insole can sometimes be removed to check for debris or to insert a custom orthotic if needed.
Shoes smell after use.
Remove the OrthoLite® insoles and allow both the shoes and insoles to air out separately. Sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight to absorb odors. Regular cleaning also helps prevent odor buildup.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The QUICKLACE™ system is designed for ease of use. Simply pull the laces tight to desired snugness and tuck the lace end into the lace garage located on the tongue. To loosen, pull up on the lace lock.
Compatibility: These trainers are designed for unisex adult use. They are compatible with most standard athletic socks. While designed for trail and running, they can be worn for general fitness activities and casual wear.
Care: To maintain the longevity and performance of your XT-6 trainers:
- Cleaning: Remove excess dirt with a soft brush. Use a damp cloth or sponge to wipe down the upper and midsole. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place near direct heat sources like radiators or in direct sunlight, as this can damage the materials.
- Laces: The QUICKLACE™ system is durable but should be checked for wear. If the lace lock becomes loose, ensure the lace is properly threaded through it.
