FAQs
Are the Salomon XT-6 trainers waterproof?
The XT-6 trainers feature water-repellent materials, but they are not fully waterproof. They offer protection against light rain and splashes but are not designed for submersion.
How do I clean the Mud ContaGrip outsole?
After use, use a stiff brush to remove loose dirt and mud. For a deeper clean, a damp cloth with mild soap can be used. Ensure to rinse off any soap residue and allow to air dry.
What is the purpose of the SensiFit technology?
SensiFit technology is designed to provide a secure and precise fit by cradling the foot from the midsole to the lacing system, enhancing stability and comfort.
Can I replace the Quicklace system if it breaks?
Yes, replacement Quicklace cords and end caps are available from Salomon or specialized retailers. The system is designed to be user-replaceable.
Are these trainers suitable for everyday walking?
Yes, the cushioning and support provided by the EnergyCell midsole and Agile Chassis System make them very comfortable for everyday walking and prolonged periods on your feet.
What is the difference between XT-6 trainers and low shoes?
While both are part of the XT-6 line, 'Trainers' typically implies a more robust construction for athletic activities, while 'Low Shoes' might refer to a slightly more casual or streamlined version, though specific features can vary by model.
Troubleshooting
Quicklace system feels too tight or too loose
Adjust the tension by pulling the laces tighter or loosening them before securing them in the lace pocket. If the laces are too long, consider trimming them carefully and re-tipping, or tucking them more securely.
SensiFit system causes discomfort
Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. Experiment with different lacing tensions. If discomfort persists after a break-in period, it may indicate an improper fit for your foot shape.
Traction is reduced on very smooth surfaces
The Mud ContaGrip outsole is optimized for varied terrain. On extremely smooth, dry surfaces, grip might be slightly less than on natural trails. Ensure the outsole is clean of debris.
Mesh upper shows signs of wear
Regular cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soap can help maintain the mesh. Avoid abrasive scrubbing. For significant damage, professional repair might be an option, though often replacement is necessary for worn mesh.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The XT-6 trainers are ready to wear out of the box. The Quicklace system can be adjusted by pulling the laces taut and tucking the excess into the lace pocket located on the tongue. Ensure the SensiFit system feels snug but not restrictive.
Compatibility: These trainers are designed for a wide range of activities, from trail running and hiking to everyday casual wear. They are compatible with standard athletic socks.

Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat. For the outsole, use a brush to remove mud and debris after use.
