Salomon ExamotionGTX Hiking Shoes - Blue - UK 10

The GORE-TEX offers waterproofing and some warmth, but these are primarily designed as 3-season hiking shoes. For very cold conditions, consider specialized winter boots.

It's best to measure your foot and compare it to the Salomon sizing chart. Try them on with your usual hiking socks, ensuring about a finger's width between your longest toe and the end of the shoe when standing.

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, adhesives, and waterproofing membranes.

Warranty information typically varies by retailer and region. Please check the product documentation or contact the seller for specific warranty details.

Re-waterproofing is generally recommended when you notice water is no longer beading on the surface of the outer material, usually after significant use or cleaning.

While they offer good traction and support, they are designed primarily for hiking. Trail running shoes typically offer more flexibility and lighter weight.

Ensure laces are tied securely to prevent water entry from the top. Check for any tears or damage to the GORE-TEX membrane. If the issue persists, the waterproofing may be compromised.

The traction is designed for varied terrain. On extremely slick, polished surfaces, grip may be reduced. Ensure the soles are free of mud or debris that could impede traction.

Allow for a break-in period of several hikes. Adjust lacing to relieve pressure points. Ensure you are wearing appropriate hiking socks.

Remove insoles and stuff shoes with newspaper to absorb moisture. Allow to air dry away from direct heat.
