FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for road running?

While the Alphacross 5 GTX can be used on roads, they are primarily designed for trails. The aggressive lugs may feel less comfortable on hard surfaces.

How do I clean the shoes?

Use a soft brush with lukewarm water to remove dirt and debris. Avoid using harsh chemicals or placing them in a washing machine.

Are the shoes breathable?

The Gore-Tex membrane provides waterproof protection, which can reduce breathability compared to non-waterproof shoes. They're best suited for cooler or wet weather.

What kind of socks should I wear with these shoes?

Standard running socks are suitable. Consider thicker socks for added warmth and comfort in colder conditions.

What is the lifespan of these shoes?

The lifespan depends on usage and terrain. Generally, trail running shoes should be replaced after 300-500 miles of use, or when the cushioning or grip degrades significantly.

Can I use these shoes for hiking?

Yes, the Alphacross 5 GTX is suitable for hiking, especially for day hikes where waterproof protection and good grip are needed.

What is the warranty on these shoes?

Please refer to the SALOMON warranty policy for specific details.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable.

Ensure the correct size. Adjust the lacing to find a comfortable fit. Consider thicker or thinner socks to adjust the fit further.

Water is getting inside the shoes.

Check if water is entering over the ankle. Ensure the laces are tied securely. Consider waterproof gaiters for deep puddles or wet conditions.

Poor grip on trails.

Check the outsole for excessive wear and tear. Ensure the lugs are clean. Try different running techniques to improve grip.
