Salomon XT-QUEST Hiking Shoes - Black - UK 5.5

These shoes are engineered for trails, offering excellent performance on varied terrain including dirt paths, gravel, and moderate rocky surfaces.

The product description does not specify waterproof features. They are constructed with a mesh and leather upper, suggesting breathability but not full waterproofing. For wet conditions, consider waterproofing sprays designed for hiking footwear.

Refer to the UK sizing provided (e.g., UK 5.5). It is recommended to measure your foot and compare it with Salomon's sizing chart for the most accurate fit.

Yes, the hybrid design makes them suitable for casual wear, especially for those who appreciate a sporty, technical aesthetic. However, their primary design is for performance on trails.

The 4D Advanced Chassis™ provides enhanced stability and precise foot control, helping to reduce fatigue and improve agility on uneven terrain.

It's best to clean your shoes after each significant use to remove dirt and debris. For lighter wear, occasional cleaning is sufficient.

This is normal for new hiking shoes. Wear them for short periods around the house to break them in gradually before longer excursions.

Ensure the Contagrip® outsole is clean. For significantly slippery conditions, extra caution may be required, as no outsole guarantees absolute grip.

Check lacing for proper tension – not too tight or too loose. Ensure you are wearing appropriate hiking socks. If the issue persists, consider if the sizing is correct for your foot shape.
