FAQs
Are these shoes fully waterproof?
Yes, they feature a GORE-TEX membrane, which is designed to be fully waterproof while maintaining breathability.
Are these suitable for long-distance running?
While highly versatile and comfortable, they are primarily designed as trail trainers and outdoor footwear rather than dedicated long-distance road running shoes.
How should I clean the exterior?
Wipe down with a damp cloth or soft brush to remove dirt. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
What is the primary terrain for these trainers?
They excel on mixed terrain, including gravel, dirt paths, and rugged outdoor trails.
Is the fit true to size?
Salomon sizing is generally consistent with standard UK athletic footwear, but always measure your feet in the afternoon when they are at their largest.
Troubleshooting
Water entering the shoe despite GORE-TEX rating
Ensure water is not entering through the ankle collar by checking for proper lace tension or the use of gaiters in deep mud.
Accumulated dirt reducing traction
Clean the outsole lugs thoroughly with a stiff brush to restore the designed grip pattern.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Salomon trainers last as long as possible, follow these maintenance tips:
- Cleaning: Remove excess mud or dirt after every hike using a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use lukewarm water and a mild detergent; avoid harsh chemicals.
- Drying: Always air-dry at room temperature. Never place your shoes near a radiator or direct heat source, as this can damage the GORE-TEX membrane and degrade the adhesive.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
- Compatibility: These trainers are designed for standard adult foot shapes; ensure you are wearing appropriate athletic socks for the best fit experience.
