Salomon XT-6 - Grey - UK 7

The XT-6 shoes are designed for varied and technical trail conditions, including rocky paths, muddy sections, and steep descents. Their Contagrip® outsole provides excellent traction across diverse surfaces.

Hand wash them with lukewarm water and a mild soap. Use a soft brush to clean the upper and outsole. Air dry them naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat.

Yes, the Quicklace® System is highly durable and designed to withstand the rigors of trail running, offering reliable performance and quick adjustments.

The Salomon XT-6 features a 10mm heel drop, providing a balanced cushioning platform for trail running.

While the XT-6 can be worn on roads, its design, including the aggressive Contagrip® outsole and cushioning, is specifically optimized for off-road conditions and trail performance. For dedicated road running, a shoe designed for tarmac would be more suitable.

The lifespan of your XT-6 shoes depends heavily on usage frequency, intensity, and care. With proper maintenance and use, the durable materials and construction are designed for longevity in challenging conditions.

The Salomon XT-6 shoes are made with textile and synthetic materials and TPU film, which offer some water resistance, but they are not fully waterproof. For waterproof protection, look for Gore-Tex (GTX) models.

Adjust the tension by pulling the toggle up or down. If too loose, pull the cord more firmly. If too tight, gently lift the toggle and ease the cord out until comfortable. Ensure the excess cord is tucked into the lace pocket to avoid snagging.

Inspect the Contagrip® outsole for embedded debris (mud, small stones) and clean thoroughly. Ensure the tread is not excessively worn. If the issue persists, evaluate if the terrain is beyond the shoe's intended capability.

Ensure you have the correct shoe size and that your foot is properly secured. Wear appropriate moisture-wicking socks. If new, allow a break-in period. For persistent issues, consider consulting a running specialist for gait analysis or trying different lacing techniques.

This can sometimes be caused by the OrthoLite® sockliner rubbing against the inside of the shoe. Try removing the sockliner, cleaning both the sockliner and the inside of the shoe, then reinserting. A sprinkle of baby powder or cornstarch under the sockliner can also help reduce friction.
