FAQs
What type of terrain are these shoes best suited for?
These shoes are ideal for mixed terrains, including rocky paths, forest trails, scree slopes, and moderate mountain ascents and descents. The Contagrip® outsole provides reliable traction on a variety of surfaces.
How do I determine the right size?
Refer to the sizing chart provided by Salomon. It's recommended to try them on with the type of socks you typically wear for hiking to ensure a snug but comfortable fit, with enough room in the toe box.
Are these shoes waterproof?
The leather upper offers a degree of water resistance, but these shoes are not fully waterproof unless specified with a GORE-TEX membrane. For very wet conditions, consider waterproof socks or a fully waterproof shoe model.
How long should I expect these shoes to last?
With proper care and regular use on trails, these durable leather hiking shoes can last for several years and hundreds of miles. The lifespan depends on the intensity of use, terrain, and maintenance.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are typically removable and can be replaced with custom orthotics or different types of insoles if desired for added comfort or support.
What is the main advantage of the Advanced CHASSIS?
The Advanced CHASSIS is a stabilizing element integrated into the sole that provides excellent support and protection, enhancing stability on uneven terrain and reducing the risk of ankle rolls.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight during the first few wears
This is common with new leather hiking shoes. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase the duration to allow them to break in and conform to your feet. Lacing techniques can also be adjusted for comfort.
Reduced grip on wet surfaces
Ensure the Contagrip® outsole is clean and free from mud or debris, as this can impede traction. If the outsole shows significant wear, it may be time to consider replacement.
Feet feel hot after extended use
While the upper is designed for breathability, prolonged high-exertion activities in very warm conditions may lead to heat. Ensure you are wearing moisture-wicking socks. For extreme heat, consider lighter-weight footwear if available.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These shoes are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure you have the correct size for a comfortable fit.
Compatibility: Suitable for adult male hikers of all skill levels, designed for trail hiking and trekking.
Care:
- Cleaning: After use, brush off loose dirt and mud with a stiff brush. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing.
- Drying: Allow 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.
- Maintenance: Periodically check the outsole for wear and tear. Consider using a leather conditioner to maintain the suppleness and water resistance of the leather upper.
