FAQs
Are these boots suitable for winter hiking?
These boots are suitable for winter hiking, but consider adding insulated socks for extra warmth in very cold conditions. Ensure to use appropriate traction devices for icy conditions.
How do I determine my correct size?
Refer to the size chart provided by SALOMON. Measure your foot length and compare it to the chart. It's often helpful to try the boots on in a store before purchasing.
Can I use these boots for everyday use?
Yes, these boots are suitable for everyday use, especially in wet or cold weather. However, they are primarily designed for hiking and may be less comfortable than casual shoes for prolonged periods.
What is the lifespan of these boots?
The lifespan depends on usage and care. With proper care, these boots can last for several hiking seasons. Regular maintenance, such as cleaning and waterproofing, will extend their lifespan.
How should I lace the boots for the best fit?
Use the lacing system provided, adjusting the tension across the foot and ankle for optimal support and comfort. Experiment with different lacing techniques to find what suits you.
Are the boots breathable?

What type of socks should I wear with these boots?
Wear hiking-specific socks made of moisture-wicking materials like wool or synthetic blends. Avoid cotton socks, which retain moisture and can lead to blisters.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel tight or uncomfortable.
Ensure the correct size is chosen. Try different lacing techniques or consider using thinner socks. Allow the boots time to break in.
Water is leaking into the boots.
Check for any damage to the GORE-TEX membrane. If the boots are old, the waterproof properties may have diminished. Reapply a waterproofing treatment.
