Salomon XT-6 - Grey - UK 5.5

The Salomon XT-6 features a heel drop of 10mm, providing a comfortable and balanced ride for trail running and general use.

While not fully waterproof, the durable TPU film on the upper offers some protection against splashes, and the Contagrip® Rubber Outsole provides superior traction on various conditions, including wet surfaces, making it suitable for damp environments.

Remove loose dirt with a soft brush, then hand wash with mild soap and cold water. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.

The XT-6 is well-suited for light to moderate hiking trails due to its stability and traction. For serious multi-day backpacking or extremely rugged terrain, a dedicated hiking boot might offer more ankle support and robust protection.

The Quicklace® system allows for incredibly fast and easy tightening and loosening, providing a secure, customized fit with a single pull. It also prevents laces from coming undone during activity.

Yes, while some variants may be categorized by gender, the Salomon XT-6 is widely considered a unisex style and is worn by both men and women for its performance and aesthetic appeal.

The downhill chassis system is integrated into the midsole to enhance stability and control, particularly when descending steep or uneven terrain, giving you greater confidence and reducing the risk of twisting an ankle.

To tighten, pull the Quicklace slider firmly upwards. To loosen, press the slider downwards and pull the excess lace through. Ensure even tension across your foot for optimal comfort.

Verify you are wearing the correct size and appropriate socks. Ensure the Quicklace is not overly tight in one area. If discomfort persists, consider replacing the OrthoLite sockliner with an aftermarket insole designed for your specific foot arch or support needs.

Inspect the Contagrip® rubber outsole for signs of excessive wear or embedded debris. Clean the treads thoroughly to remove any mud, dirt, or small stones that might be compromising traction. If the lugs are significantly worn, the outsole's performance will diminish.

This can sometimes be caused by moisture between the sockliner and the midsole. Remove the OrthoLite sockliner, clean both the sockliner and the inside of the shoe, and ensure both are completely dry before reinserting. A light dusting of baby powder under the sockliner can also help.
