FAQs
Are the Salomon XT-6 Expanse suitable for long-distance running?
While they offer good cushioning and support for daily wear and moderate trails, they are primarily designed for versatility. For dedicated long-distance road or ultra-trail running, specialized shoes might offer superior performance and cushioning.
How do I determine the right size?
Refer to the size chart provided by Salomon. Given the endoFit technology for a precise fit, it's recommended to try them on if possible, or carefully measure your foot and compare it to the UK sizing guide.
Can these shoes be worn in wet weather?
The shoes feature an anti-debris mesh and a Mud contaGRIP outsole, offering some protection against light moisture and mud. However, they are not waterproof. For heavy rain or submersion, waterproof footwear is recommended.
What is the purpose of the 'Expanse' in the name?
The 'Expanse' designation suggests a broader application, indicating that these trainers are designed to comfortably transition between outdoor trail heritage and everyday urban environments.
How does the AgileChassis System work?
The AgileChassis System is designed to provide a stable platform underfoot, guiding the foot and enhancing shock absorption for a more controlled and comfortable stride, especially on uneven ground.
Can the OrthoLite sockliner be replaced?
Yes, the Molded OrthoLite sockliner is removable and can be replaced with custom orthotics if needed, provided they are of a similar profile.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or cause pressure points.
Loosen the laces and re-tie, ensuring a snug but not overly tight fit. Utilize the endoFit technology to find a comfortable wrap. If the issue persists, consider alternative lacing techniques or ensure you have the correct size.
Reduced grip on wet surfaces.
Ensure the Mud contaGRIP outsole is clean and free of mud or debris. For significantly wet conditions, proceed with caution as no outsole guarantees perfect grip on all surfaces.
Debris entering the shoe.
Check that the anti-debris mesh is intact and that the laces are tied securely around the ankle to minimize gaps. The endoFit technology also helps create a snug fit that can reduce entry points.

Care:
- Cleaning the Upper: Wipe the synthetic and textile upper with a damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a mild soap and water solution, then rinse and air dry.
- Cleaning the Outsole: Use a brush to remove mud and debris from the Mud contaGRIP outsole. A damp cloth can be used for further cleaning.
- Insole Care: The textile inlay sole and Molded OrthoLite sockliner can be removed for separate cleaning. Hand wash with cool water and mild detergent, then allow to air dry completely before reinserting.
- Drying: Always air dry the shoes away from direct heat sources like radiators or prolonged sunlight, as this can damage materials.
