Salomon Outpath GTX Hiking Shoes - Black - 8.5

Yes, the Salomon Outpath GTX features integrated Gore-Tex technology to provide a high level of waterproof protection against rain and wet trail conditions.

While highly durable and stable, they are primarily designed as hiking shoes for technical terrain. Comfort for long-distance backpacking depends on individual foot shape and pack weight.

Use a soft brush to remove dried mud and dirt. For deeper cleaning, use lukewarm water and mild soap, then allow them to air dry away from direct sunlight or heat.

We recommend synthetic or merino wool hiking socks that manage moisture effectively to complement the waterproof properties of the shoe.

Salomon sizing is generally consistent with standard European and UK sizing. Because of the precision fit, some users prefer to try them on with their preferred hiking socks to ensure adequate room.

Ensure you are wearing appropriate moisture-wicking hiking socks and re-adjust the lacing tension to address pressure points.

Clean the outer fabric thoroughly to remove trail grime and apply a specialized technical fabric spray designed for Gore-Tex footwear.

Fully loosen the laces down to the toe box to open the upper, allowing the foot to slide into the precision-fit structure comfortably.
