FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for heavy hiking?
These trainers are best for light hiking and daily outdoor use. For rugged, technical mountain terrain, we recommend a dedicated hiking boot.
Can I wear these in the snow?
Yes, the waterproof membrane provides protection against slush and snow, though they are not insulated like specialized winter boots.
How should I clean the GORE-TEX material?
Use only water and a soft cloth or brush. Avoid solvents or heavy soaps to maintain the integrity of the waterproofing.
Are these shoes true to size?
Salomon sizing is generally standard; however, if you plan to wear thick hiking socks, some users prefer sizing up by a half-size.
Do these shoes need a break-in period?
Because of the durable, protective materials, a short break-in period of walking locally for a few days is recommended to ensure maximum comfort.
Is the sole non-slip?
The sole is designed for high grip, but always exercise caution on smooth, wet surfaces like polished tile or ice.
Troubleshooting
Moisture buildup inside the shoe
Ensure you are using moisture-wicking synthetic or wool socks rather than cotton, as cotton retains sweat and reduces the breathability of the GORE-TEX layer.
Outer material showing dirt or mud stains
Allow the mud to dry completely before brushing it off with a soft-bristled brush. Avoid using harsh chemical detergents.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Salomon XC ROAM GTX trainers, avoid machine washing or tumble drying, as these can damage the GORE-TEX membrane. Instead, clean the exterior with a soft brush and lukewarm water. If the shoes become soaked, remove the insoles and let them air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators. For optimal fit, ensure you are wearing the type of socks you intend to use for your activities during your initial fit test. If you find the shoe too tight, consider adjusting the lacing tension through the midfoot to allow for natural foot swelling during exercise.
