FAQs
Are the Salomon XT-Quest shoes waterproof?
The standard XT-Quest model is designed for durability and breathability; check specific product labels for Gore-Tex variants if you require full waterproofing.
Are these shoes true to size?
Generally, yes, but it is recommended to measure your feet and consult the size guide, keeping in mind that hiking shoes often require extra room for thicker socks.
Can I use these for trail running?
While durable, the XT-Quest is categorized as a hiking shoe; its supportive, more rigid build is optimized for hiking rather than the flexibility required for rapid trail running.
What is the best way to clean these shoes?
Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt and a damp cloth with mild soap for deeper cleaning. Avoid submerging them or using a washing machine.
Are these shoes unisex?
Yes, the XT-Quest series is designed with a unisex fit to accommodate a variety of foot shapes and sizes.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too stiff upon first use
Wear them indoors for several short periods to allow the materials to soften and break in properly.
Dirt buildup reducing grip
Clean the outsole with a soft brush and water to clear debris from the lugs and restore traction.
Moisture accumulation inside the shoe
Remove the insoles after use and air dry the shoes in a well-ventilated area to prevent odor and material breakdown.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Salomon XT-Quest hiking shoes, begin by wearing them for short walks around your home to allow the materials to mold to your feet. When fitting, ensure you leave a thumb's width of space at the front of the toe box to account for foot swelling during extended hikes. For maintenance, remove loose dirt after every hike using a soft-bristled brush. If the shoes become muddy, wipe them down with a damp cloth and mild soap; avoid machine washing or drying, as high heat can compromise the adhesive and structural integrity of the hiking soles. Always air dry your shoes away from direct heat sources like radiators or fireplaces.
