Product Information
Full details
The Salomon XT EVR GTX trainers are designed for adult men who seek a versatile shoe that bridges the gap between rugged mountain utility and everyday urban style. These trainers provide excellent weather protection and reliable traction, making them an ideal choice for daily commuting or light outdoor activities. While they excel in durability and comfort, users should note that the technical design leans toward a structured, athletic fit that may require a short break-in period compared to standard casual sneakers.

FAQs
Are these shoes fully waterproof?
Yes, they feature a GORE-TEX membrane, which provides a high level of waterproof protection while remaining breathable.
Can I use these for heavy hiking?
While they feature mountain-sport technology, they are primarily designed for everyday use and light outdoor activities, not intense mountain trekking.
How do I choose the right size?
These trainers generally fit true to size. Refer to the UK sizing provided to match your standard athletic shoe fit.
Are they machine washable?
It is not recommended to machine wash these shoes, as the cycle can damage the GORE-TEX membrane and technical adhesives.
Do they provide good arch support?
Yes, the CHASSIS design is built to provide structural support throughout the sole, offering more stability than typical low-profile sneakers.
Troubleshooting
Foot feels slightly cramped at first
The structured design can be firm initially; wear them for short periods indoors to allow the materials to adapt to your foot shape.
Sensation of dampness inside
Ensure that water is not entering through the top of the shoe via socks or leg wear; even waterproof shoes are not fully submersible.
Outsole collecting debris
Use a stiff-bristled brush to clear the tread patterns of the CONTAGRIP sole to maintain optimal grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these are fixed-construction trainers, no complex setup is required. For the best fit, ensure you are wearing appropriate socks for your activity level. To prolong the lifespan of your Salomon trainers, follow these care steps:
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush after each use. If they get muddy, wipe them down with a damp cloth and mild soap.
- Drying: Always air dry your shoes at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or hair dryers, as these can damage the GORE-TEX membrane or warp the synthetic materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
- Maintenance: If the water-repellent coating on the outer fabric begins to fade, consider applying a technical fabric spray to restore the beading effect.
