Salomon XT-6 - Grey - UK 4

The Salomon XT-6 features a robust mesh and TPU film upper that offers good protection against light moisture and debris. However, it is not fully waterproof. For extremely wet conditions, a waterproof specific trail shoe would be more suitable.

To clean your XT-6 shoes, first, remove any loose dirt by shaking or tapping them. Then, use a soft brush or a damp cloth with mild soap and cool water to gently scrub the upper and outsole. Rinse thoroughly with clean water and allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat.

The Quicklace® System allows for fast, one-pull tightening and easy release, providing a secure and customizable fit with minimal effort. It eliminates the need for tying knots and prevents laces from coming undone during activity, and also features a convenient lace pocket for storage.

While the XT-6 can be used for short stretches of road, its Contagrip® outsole is specifically designed for optimal traction on varied and uneven trail surfaces. For dedicated road running, a shoe with a smoother, road-specific outsole would typically offer better cushioning and efficiency.

The Salomon XT-6 has a heel drop of 10mm. This measurement refers to the difference in height between the heel and the forefoot of the shoe, influencing how your foot strikes the ground and your running mechanics.

Salomon shoes generally run true to size. We recommend trying them on to ensure a comfortable fit. Consider trying them with the type of socks you typically wear. If you are between sizes, it's often advisable to go up a half size, especially for trail running to accommodate foot swelling.

To adjust, simply pull the Quicklace toggle to tighten. To loosen, press the button on the toggle and pull the lace loop outwards away from the shoe. Ensure even tension across your foot before securing the toggle in its pocket.

Check the Contagrip® outsole for excessive mud, dirt, or debris. Clean the lugs thoroughly with a brush and water. If the outsole appears worn down, especially the lugs, it might be time for a replacement pair as traction can diminish over time.

Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks for your activity. Check that the Quicklace system is not overtightened in specific areas. If discomfort persists, consider checking your sizing; feet can swell during activity. Trying different lacing tension or sock thickness can often resolve minor issues.
