FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
The Salomon XT-QUEST Trainers are not fully waterproof but offer water resistance due to their construction. For significantly wet conditions, consider dedicated waterproof footwear.
How do I find the right size?
Refer to the sizing chart provided by the retailer. It is recommended to measure your foot length and compare it with the shoe's internal measurements, as sizing can vary between brands and models.
Can I use these for running?
While they have trail-running inspired features and a Contagrip® outsole for traction, they are primarily designed as hybrid trainers and hikers. For dedicated, high-performance running, specific running shoes might be more suitable.
How often should I clean the shoes?
Regular cleaning after use, especially after muddy conditions, is recommended. Deep cleaning or conditioning of leather should be done as needed, typically every few months depending on usage and environmental exposure.
What is the 4D Advanced Chassis™?
The 4D Advanced Chassis™ is an internal component within the shoe designed to provide enhanced stability and support, particularly on uneven terrain. It helps control pronation and reduces foot fatigue.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, adhesives, and the structural integrity of the shoe.
Troubleshooting
Reduced traction on wet surfaces
Ensure the Contagrip® outsole is clean. Debris or wear can impact grip. If the shoe is significantly worn, consider replacement.
Discomfort or rubbing
Verify you have the correct size and width. Ensure laces are tied properly for a secure but not overly tight fit. Break in the shoes with shorter walks before longer excursions.
Mesh upper appears dirty
Gently clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Allow to air dry completely. Avoid machine washing.
Leather overlays feel stiff
Apply a suitable leather conditioner to the overlays and allow it to absorb. This will help restore flexibility.
