FAQs

Are the Salomon Roam GTX Trainers suitable for hiking?

These trainers are inspired by mountain sport technology and feature a supportive chassis and grippy sole, making them suitable for light hiking and trail walking. For very demanding or technical terrain, dedicated hiking boots may offer more specialized support and protection.

How do I know if the sizing is correct?

It is recommended to try on the shoes before purchase if possible, as fit can vary. Ensure there is adequate room in the toe box and that the heel does not slip. Refer to the brand's sizing chart for measurements.

Can I wear these trainers in hot weather?

The GORE-TEX membrane provides excellent waterproofing, but in very hot and humid conditions, the breathability might be less than non-waterproof shoes. They are generally comfortable for everyday wear across various temperatures.

What is the main advantage of the CONTAGRIP sole?

The CONTAGRIP sole is engineered to provide optimal traction on a wide variety of surfaces, ensuring stability and confidence whether you are on wet, dry, hard, or loose ground.

How often should I clean my Roam GTX Trainers?

Clean your trainers as needed, especially after exposure to mud or significant dirt. Regular light cleaning after use in wet conditions will help maintain their appearance and performance.

Will my feet stay dry in heavy rain?

Yes, the GORE-TEX membrane is designed to be waterproof, effectively keeping your feet dry from external moisture like rain and puddles, provided the shoes are properly maintained and undamaged.

Troubleshooting

Water ingress despite GORE-TEX

Ensure laces are tied properly to seal the tongue area. Check for any damage to the outer fabric or membrane. Clean the shoes thoroughly as accumulated dirt can affect performance. If damage is present, consider professional repair or replacement.

Reduced traction on surfaces

Clean the CONTAGRIP sole using a brush to remove embedded debris. Inspect the sole for excessive wear. If the tread pattern is significantly worn down, the grip will be compromised.

Discomfort during wear

Ensure the correct size is being worn. Try adjusting the lacing system for a more personalized fit. Consider using aftermarket insoles if additional arch support or cushioning is desired. Break-in periods may be necessary for new shoes.

Odors developing

Remove insoles and allow both shoes and insoles to air dry completely after each use, especially if they become wet. Use deodorizing shoe inserts or a light spray designed for footwear. Regular cleaning also helps prevent odor buildup.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent waterproofing with GORE-TEX.
  • Stable and supportive due to CHASSIS technology.
  • Reliable grip on multiple terrains.
  • Comfortable for extended daily use.
  • Stylish, versatile design suitable for various occasions.

Cons

  • Sizing may vary, recommend trying on.
  • Primarily designed for casual/light trail use, not extreme conditions.
  • Breathability, while good, may be less than non-waterproof alternatives in very hot weather.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These trainers require no specific setup. Simply remove them from the box and wear.

Compatibility: The Salomon Roam GTX Trainers are designed for general adult use. They are compatible with various casual outfits. Their primary function is footwear for everyday activities and light outdoor excursions.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap and water. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
  2. Drying: Air dry the shoes at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, as this can damage the materials and affect the GORE-TEX membrane. Stuffing with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape during drying.
  3. Waterproofing Maintenance: While the GORE-TEX membrane is durable, periodic treatment with a suitable waterproofing spray designed for technical footwear can help maintain water repellency of the outer materials.
