FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
The description mentions a mesh upper. While this provides breathability, it does not inherently make the shoes waterproof. Specific Gore-Tex (GTX) versions would offer enhanced water resistance.
How do I clean the mesh upper?
Gently brush off loose dirt. Use a damp cloth with mild soap and water for stains. Rinse with clean water and air dry.
What is the purpose of the Contagrip® sole?
Contagrip® is a proprietary outsole technology from Salomon designed to provide optimal traction and durability on various types of terrain encountered in trail running.
Can I replace the Quicklace™ system with normal laces?
The Quicklace™ system is integrated into the shoe's design. While modifications are possible, it is not recommended as it may compromise the shoe's fit and performance.
What type of activities are these shoes best suited for?
These shoes are primarily designed for trail running, offering excellent grip and support on uneven and technical terrain. They are also suitable for hiking.
How do I get the best fit with the Quicklace™ system?
Tighten the laces by pulling the lock upwards until snug. Ensure the excess lace is tucked into the pocket. Loosen by pressing the release button. Experiment with tension to find your optimal comfort and support.
Troubleshooting
Quicklace™ system not tightening properly
Ensure the lace lock is fully engaged and the laces are threaded correctly through the eyelets. Check for any debris obstructing the lock mechanism.
Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces
The Contagrip® sole is designed for a variety of terrains. Ensure the soles are clean from mud or debris, as this can affect traction. For extremely slick surfaces, extra caution may be needed.
Discomfort or rubbing from the Quicklace™ system
Adjust the tension of the laces. Ensure the excess lace is securely tucked into the lace pocket. If discomfort persists, consider wearing thicker socks or exploring alternative lacing techniques if available for this model.
