FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for everyday wear?

While comfortable, these trainers are specifically engineered for trail running and hiking. Their aggressive tread and protective features are best utilized on outdoor terrains.

How do I ensure I get the right size?

It is recommended to measure your foot and compare it to the sizing chart provided by Salomon. Trying them on in-store, if possible, is the most accurate method, especially considering the specific fit of trail running shoes.

Can I machine wash these trainers?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the waterproof membrane, adhesives, and cushioning materials. Hand wash with mild soap and water as per the care instructions.

What is the lifespan of the waterproof protection?

The waterproofness of the membrane is designed to be durable. However, consistent exposure to abrasive elements and improper care can degrade its performance over time. Following the care instructions will help prolong its effectiveness.

How does the Energy Cell EVA midsole differ from standard foam?

Energy Cell EVA is designed for high energy return and durable cushioning, providing a responsive feel that helps reduce fatigue over long distances and impacts on hard surfaces, unlike standard foams which may compress more easily.

Are these trainers good for rocky terrain?

Yes, they are specifically designed with an all-terrain protection band and substantial cushioning to handle rocky and uneven surfaces comfortably and safely.

Troubleshooting

Feet feel wet despite waterproof claims

Ensure the shoe's laces are tied securely to prevent water ingress from the top. Check for any damage to the waterproof membrane or seams. Allow shoes to dry completely and re-test.

Discomfort or rubbing during wear

Verify you have the correct size and width. Ensure socks are suitable for trail running. Break in the shoes gradually on shorter runs or walks. Consider using specialized insoles if needed.

Reduced grip on slippery surfaces

Clean the outsole lugs of any accumulated mud or debris. The grip is optimized for trail surfaces; performance on polished indoor floors may be limited.

Shoe feels stiff after getting wet

Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from heat. Once fully dry, the flexibility should return. Condition the exterior materials with an appropriate product if they feel dry.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent waterproof protection for varied weather conditions.
  • Generous cushioning enhances comfort on uneven terrain.
  • Durable design built to withstand tough trail environments.
  • Protective features guard against trail debris and sharp objects.

Cons

  • May run narrow for some foot shapes.
  • Oversized midsole might feel bulky to runners preferring a minimalist feel.
  • Primarily designed for trail running; may not be ideal for road running.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup: These trainers are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure you have selected the correct UK size for optimal fit.

Compatibility: Suitable for adult male runners and hikers. Designed for use on various outdoor terrains including trails, mud, and rocky paths.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: After use, remove excess dirt with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  2. Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can damage the materials and affect the waterproof membrane.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. Ensure they are completely dry before storing to prevent mildew.
