FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
While the leather construction offers some natural water resistance, they are not classified as fully waterproof.
Can I use these for heavy hiking?
These are designed for light trails and everyday use. For heavy, technical hiking or backpacking, a dedicated mountain boot is recommended.
How do I determine my size?
The X-Alp trainers follow standard UK sizing. We recommend choosing your usual athletic shoe size.
Are they suitable for gym workouts?
They provide good stability, but they are primarily designed as walking and approach shoes rather than specialized gym trainers.
How do I maintain the color?
Keep the shoes clean and store them in a cool, dry place. Using a leather-safe cream or polish can help touch up the appearance.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight after long wear
Re-adjust the lace tension along the eyelets to allow for more volume in the forefoot area.
Leather looks dull or dry
Apply a high-quality leather conditioner to restore moisture and protect the material.
Laces coming undone
Use a double knot or consider replacing with non-slip performance laces if the issue persists.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up your Salomon X-Alp trainers is straightforward: ensure the laces are pulled evenly to secure your midfoot before tying. Because these are made of leather, avoid leaving them in extreme heat or direct sunlight for extended periods, as this can cause the material to dry out or crack.
To clean, wipe away surface mud with a damp cloth after your trail sessions. If the leather becomes heavily soiled, use a specialized leather cleaner and allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources. Regularly applying a leather conditioner will help maintain the suppleness and water resistance of the upper.
