FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
Yes, they feature a GORE-TEX membrane that provides a waterproof barrier against rain and trail moisture.
Can I use these for trail running?
While they are designed for hiking and offer great agility, they are more structured and stable than a traditional trail runner.
How should I clean the mud off the leather?
Use a soft-bristled brush once the mud has dried, then wipe with a damp cloth.
Do these provide good arch support?
The Advanced Chassis provides substantial midfoot and lateral support, which is beneficial for hikers needing arch stabilization.
Are these true to size?
Salomon sizing is generally standard, but it is recommended to account for the thickness of your preferred hiking socks.
What is the purpose of the toe cap?
The molded toe cap protects your toes from rocks, roots, and debris you might encounter on technical trails.
Troubleshooting
Outer leather showing signs of drying or cracking
Clean the area thoroughly, let it dry, and apply a leather conditioner to restore oils and water resistance.
Feeling dampness inside despite GORE-TEX
Ensure your socks are moisture-wicking synthetic or wool; cotton socks trap sweat and can lead to internal moisture buildup.
Laces coming loose on trail
Double-knot the laces or ensure they are properly tensioned through the eyelets before starting your ascent.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best experience, break in the shoes on shorter walks before heading out on multi-day excursions to allow the leather and chassis to adapt to your foot shape. Regarding compatibility, the internal volume is standard for a hiking shoe, comfortably accommodating various hiking sock thicknesses.
Care instructions include:
- Cleaning: Wipe away loose mud with a soft brush after every hike; if deeply soiled, use a damp cloth and mild soap.
- Drying: Air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, as heat can cause leather to crack or harden.
- Conditioning: Periodically apply a leather-specific treatment to maintain suppleness and reinforce the waterproof capabilities.
