FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for winter hiking?

While the Gore-tex provides waterproofing, these shoes are not insulated for extreme cold. They are best suited for three-season use or milder winter conditions.

How do I break in the leather hiking shoes?

Wear them around the house for short periods, gradually increasing the duration. Genuine leather requires a break-in period to mold to your foot shape for optimal comfort.

Can I replace the Quicklace system if it breaks?

Yes, replacement Quicklace systems are available from Salomon or specialized outdoor retailers. They typically come with instructions for installation.

How often should I clean and treat the leather?

Clean shoes after each significant use. Treat the leather with a conditioner every few months, or more often if frequently exposed to wet conditions, to maintain its condition.

What is the primary advantage of the Contagrip outsole?

Contagrip provides aggressive traction with durable rubber compounds and a specific lug pattern designed to grip effectively on a wide variety of surfaces, from mud and rock to wet pavement.

Are these shoes good for wide feet?

The Sensifit system allows for adjustability, but the general fit tends to be medium. It is recommended to try them on if possible, especially if you have notably wide feet.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or loose

Adjust the Quicklace system. Pull laces tighter for a more secure fit or loosen them for more comfort. Ensure the "lace pocket" is used to tuck away excess lace.

Water seeping into the shoes

Check the integrity of the Gore-tex membrane and seams. Ensure the tongue is properly positioned to prevent water entry. Reapply waterproofing treatment to the leather exterior if necessary.

Reduced grip on slippery surfaces

Clean the outsole lugs of mud or debris. The Contagrip is designed for traction, but accumulated dirt can hinder performance. Inspect lugs for excessive wear.

Leather appears dry or cracked

Apply a leather conditioner or waterproofing treatment designed for hiking boots to restore moisture and flexibility to the leather.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent grip on various terrains thanks to Contagrip.
  • Secure and easily adjustable fit with Sensifit and Quicklace.
  • Durable leather construction offers good protection and longevity.
  • Waterproof Gore-tex membrane keeps feet dry.
  • Robust toe and heel caps provide protection against impacts.

Cons

  • Leather requires specific care and maintenance.
  • May feel stiffer than synthetic alternatives until broken in.
  • Not ideal for extremely hot weather due to potential reduced breathability of leather.
  • The aggressive lug pattern might wear faster on hard, abrasive surfaces.
  • Limited color options compared to some other models.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These shoes are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure the Quicklace system is adjusted for a snug but comfortable fit. The lacing system can be tightened or loosened by pulling or loosening the non-locking lace. Store excess laces in the "lace pocket" on the tongue.

Compatibility: Designed for trail running and hiking on varied terrain. Compatible with most standard hiking socks.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: After use, remove loose dirt with a soft brush. Clean the shoes with lukewarm water and mild soap. Avoid harsh detergents. Allow to air dry naturally, away from direct heat sources.
  2. Leather Care: Periodically treat the leather with a waterproofing spray or conditioner specifically designed for leather footwear to maintain its suppleness and water resistance.
  3. Laces: Inspect the Quicklace system regularly for wear and tear. Replace the entire Quicklace system if the cord frays or the toggle becomes damaged.
