FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for everyday wear?
While they offer great comfort and support, their design is optimized for outdoor activities and rugged terrain. They can be worn for casual use, but their primary strength lies in performance during hikes and runs.
How do I know if the UK 10.5 size is right for me?
It's recommended to measure your foot and compare it to Salomon's sizing chart. Trying them on indoors with your usual hiking socks is the best way to confirm the fit.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, the Gore-tex membrane, and the adhesives.
What is the main advantage of the SensiFit technology?
SensiFit technology is designed to cradle the foot precisely, providing a secure and comfortable fit that enhances stability and responsiveness on uneven ground.
How long does the waterproofing typically last?
The Gore-tex membrane is highly durable. However, the overall waterproofing effectiveness can be maintained by regular cleaning and applying appropriate waterproofing treatments to the leather upper.
Is the leather upper waterproof on its own?
The leather is treated for water resistance, but the primary waterproofing is provided by the internal Gore-tex membrane. The combination ensures excellent protection against moisture.
Troubleshooting
Slight stiffness on first wear
Wear the shoes for short periods indoors to allow the leather and cushioning to adapt to your foot shape. Gentle flexing can also help.
Reduced grip on very smooth, wet surfaces
Contagrip offers excellent grip on most terrains, but extremely smooth, polished wet surfaces can challenge any tread. Ensure the sole is clean of debris for optimal performance.
Water seeping through
Ensure all seams and the tongue area are properly sealed. Check for any damage to the Gore-tex membrane. Reapply waterproofing treatment if necessary.
Discomfort or rubbing
Verify the lacing is snug but not too tight. Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. If the issue persists, the shoe may not be the correct fit for your foot shape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: Designed for adult males, these shoes are compatible with standard hiking socks. They are suitable for a wide range of outdoor activities including hiking, trail running, and general outdoor exploration.
Care:
- Cleaning: After use, remove excess dirt with a soft brush. For tougher dirt, use a damp cloth. Avoid harsh detergents.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or fires, as this can damage the materials and affect the waterproofing.
- Waterproofing Maintenance: Periodically use a waterproofing spray suitable for leather and Gore-tex materials to maintain the water-repellent properties of the upper.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
