FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for winter hiking?
The Quest Echo GTX is excellent for multi-season use due to its waterproof membrane, though it is primarily designed as a hiking shoe rather than a heavy-duty insulated winter boot.
How should I clean the leather upper?
Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dried mud and a damp cloth for surface stains. Avoid submerging the leather in water or using harsh detergents.
Does the size UK 7.5 fit true to size?
Salomon generally follows standard sizing, but it is recommended to account for the thickness of hiking socks when choosing your fit.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the internal insoles are removable, allowing you to swap them for custom orthotics or specific insoles if preferred.
Is the material real leather?
Yes, the shoe features a durable leather construction designed for long-term wear and resistance to trail abrasion.
Troubleshooting
Foot discomfort or hot spots during the first few wears
This is common with new leather boots; wear them around the house or on short walks with proper hiking socks to gradually break them in.
Reduced breathability or feeling of dampness inside
Ensure you are using moisture-wicking synthetic or wool socks rather than cotton, which traps sweat inside the shoe.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Salomon Quest Echo GTX shoes, always loosen the laces fully before inserting your feet to prevent stress on the inner lining. After muddy hikes, remove the insoles and allow the shoes to air dry naturally; avoid direct heat sources like radiators, which can damage the leather or compromise the waterproof membrane. Clean the leather surface with a soft brush to remove dirt, and consider a leather-specific conditioner periodically to prevent cracking. Always check for debris in the outsole treads before storage to maintain optimal grip.
