Product Information
Full details
The Salomon XT-Quest 2 is a versatile sneaker designed for adult men who need a reliable transition from urban environments to light outdoor trails. It excels by combining premium leather durability with advanced technical features like the All Terrain Contagrip outsole for superior traction and a reinforced toe cap for impact protection. While it offers exceptional structural support for everyday wear, users should note that the leather construction requires a break-in period to achieve maximum comfort compared to lightweight synthetic trainers.

FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
While the leather upper provides natural resistance to light moisture, they are not classified as fully waterproof.
Are these suitable for long-distance running?
The XT-Quest 2 is designed primarily for hiking and casual wear; dedicated road or trail runners may prefer lighter, more cushioned models.
How should I store them?
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the color and integrity of the leather.
Can I use these on slippery surfaces?
The All Terrain Contagrip outsole is specifically designed to offer traction across diverse terrains, including damp or uneven surfaces.
Do these run true to size?
Salomon footwear generally follows standard sizing, though the leather upper may feel slightly more snug than mesh equivalents initially.
What is the best way to clean the leather?
Use a damp cloth for surface grime and allow to air dry. Avoid using harsh chemical solvents that can strip natural oils from the leather.
Troubleshooting
Laces coming untied during activity
Use a double knot or replace the factory laces with a slightly textured flat lace for better friction.
Stiffness when new
Wear the sneakers for short walks on flat terrain to allow the leather to naturally conform to your foot shape.
Dirt buildup in outsole tread
Use a stiff-bristled plastic brush to remove caked mud or small pebbles lodged in the Contagrip lugs.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Salomon XT-Quest 2 sneakers provide the best experience, start by wearing them around the house for short periods to break in the leather. For sizing, ensure you use a snug but non-restrictive knot with the lacing system to avoid pressure points on the top of the foot. Cleaning is straightforward: remove loose dirt with a soft brush, and if the leather becomes wet, let it air dry away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, to prevent the material from cracking. Apply a leather-specific conditioner periodically to maintain the suppleness and water resistance of the upper.
