FAQs
Are Salomon XT-6 trainers suitable for running?
Yes, the XT-6 trainers were originally designed for trail running. They feature excellent cushioning, stability, and grip, making them suitable for various running activities, especially on uneven terrain.
How do I clean my XT-6 trainers?
Gently remove loose dirt with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap and cold water. Air dry them away from direct heat. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
Is the Quicklace system durable?
The Quicklace system is designed for durability and ease of use. It is made from strong materials and is a common feature on many Salomon performance shoes. Proper use and care will ensure its longevity.
Are these shoes waterproof?
The Salomon XT-6 trainers are not fully waterproof. Their mesh and synthetic upper provides some water resistance against light splashes but is not designed for prolonged exposure to heavy rain or submersion. Some variants may offer specific waterproof membranes (e.g., Gore-Tex), but this model description does not specify that.
What is the benefit of the Contagrip outsole?
The Mud Contagrip outsole provides exceptional traction and durability. Its specific lug geometry is designed to shed mud and grip effectively on soft, loose, or uneven surfaces, giving you confidence and stability during your activities.
How do Salomon XT-6 trainers fit?
Salomon sizing generally runs true to size, but fit can vary. The Quicklace system allows for a customizable snug fit. It's recommended to try them on to ensure optimal comfort, especially if you have specific foot width requirements.
Troubleshooting
Quicklace system feels too tight or too loose
Adjust the tension by pulling the Quicklace cord further for tightness or lifting the toggle to release tension for looseness. Ensure the toggle is securely pressed down to lock the laces.
Foot discomfort or rubbing during wear
Check your sizing; ensure you have adequate toe room. Experiment with different sock thicknesses. If possible, gradually break in the shoes with shorter wears before extended use.
Slipping on certain wet or slick surfaces
While the Mud Contagrip outsole provides excellent traction, no shoe is slip-proof on all surfaces. Exercise caution on extremely slick or icy conditions. Ensure the lugs are clean of debris for optimal grip.
Shoes develop an unpleasant odour
Remove the OrthoLite sockliners and allow them to air dry separately. You can wash the sockliners by hand with mild soap and water. Use shoe deodorizers or baking soda inside the shoes to absorb odours.
Upper material appears dirty or stained
Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt. For stains, gently clean with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Avoid scrubbing aggressively or using harsh chemicals, which can damage the synthetic materials.

Care
Proper care extends the life and maintains the performance of your XT-6 trainers:
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush after each use. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap and cold water with a soft cloth or sponge. Avoid harsh detergents.
- Drying: Allow trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can damage materials and adhesives.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider using shoe trees or stuffing with newspaper to help maintain their shape.
- Odour Control: If odours develop, remove the `OrthoLite sockliner` and air it out. You can also use shoe deodorizers.
