FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
While the leather construction offers natural resistance to light moisture, they are not strictly marketed as fully waterproof Gore-Tex shoes.
How do I determine my size for the XT-Quest 2?
Salomon sizing generally runs true to athletic standards; however, if you plan to wear thick wool socks, consider sizing up by a half size.
Can I use these for long-distance backpacking?
Yes, their durable design and supportive midsole make them suitable for backpacking, provided you have properly broken them in first.
How should I store them when not in use?
Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the integrity of the leather and rubber components.
Are the insoles removable?
Yes, the stock insoles can be removed to accommodate custom orthotics if required.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight across the midfoot
Try adjusting the lacing pattern to be looser in the midfoot area or wear thinner technical socks during the break-in period.
Outer leather showing signs of drying out
Apply a leather conditioner designed for outdoor footwear to maintain the suppleness and water resistance of the material.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your XT-Quest 2 shoes provide the best experience, wear them with moisture-wicking hiking socks. For the first few uses, take shorter walks to allow the leather to mold to your unique foot shape. When caring for the shoes, remove loose dirt with a soft brush after each hike. If they become muddy, wipe them down with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid drying the shoes near direct heat sources, such as fireplaces or radiators, as this can cause the leather to crack or shrink. Air-dry them naturally in a well-ventilated space.
