FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for winter hiking?
While the GORE-TEX keeps feet dry, they are not insulated. They are suitable for hiking in cool-to-cold conditions if paired with appropriate wool socks.
How should I clean my Outpath GTX shoes?
Remove dirt with a soft brush and wipe with a damp cloth. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
Can I replace the original insoles with custom orthotics?
Yes, the provided insoles are removable, making the shoe compatible with most aftermarket orthotic inserts.
Do these shoes run true to size?
Salomon footwear generally follows standard sizing, but it is recommended to wear the thickness of sock you plan to use on the trail when measuring.
Is the sole non-marking?
The high-traction rubber compound is designed for trail use and may leave scuff marks on indoor surfaces, so they are not recommended as indoor court shoes.
Troubleshooting
Moisture inside the shoe despite waterproof claim
Check if water is entering through the ankle opening. Wear gaiters if trekking through deep puddles or tall, wet vegetation.
Feeling of stiffness during long hikes
Ensure the laces are not overtightened across the bridge of the foot. Allow for a break-in period of 20-30 miles of light walking to soften the materials.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For optimal performance, ensure you pair these shoes with moisture-wicking hiking socks rather than cotton, as this maximizes the breathability of the waterproof lining. To maintain the integrity of the GORE-TEX membrane, remove the insoles and air-dry the shoes in a shaded, well-ventilated area after muddy excursions. Avoid heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, as excessive heat can degrade the adhesives used in the construction. Clean the exterior with a soft brush and lukewarm water; avoid using harsh detergents that might strip the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating from the outer fabric.
