FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
Yes, they feature a GORE-TEX membrane that provides a reliable waterproof and breathable barrier.
Can I use these for heavy-duty backpacking?
While highly capable, they are designed as hiking shoes and provide moderate support; for multi-day trips with very heavy packs, consider if you need the extra height of a mid-cut boot.
How should I clean the leather upper?
Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh detergents.
Do these shoes run true to size?
Salomon generally fits true to size, but since hiking often involves thicker socks, consider trying them on with the specific socks you intend to wear.
What kind of terrain are they best for?
They are versatile and excel on varied surfaces, including dirt trails, rocky paths, and wet terrain thanks to the Contagrip outsole.
Is the toe cap replaceable?
No, the molded toe cap is a structural component of the shoe and is not designed for replacement.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feeling stiff on first wear
Wear them indoors or on short, flat walks for several hours to allow the leather to soften naturally.
Decreased traction in wet conditions
Check the outsole for compacted mud or debris stuck in the lugs and clean with a stiff brush.
Waterproofing seems less effective
Ensure the exterior leather is clean and consider applying a leather-safe water-repellent treatment if the DWR finish has worn off.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before hitting the trails, ensure you have broken in the leather upper by wearing the shoes for shorter walks to allow the material to adapt to your foot shape. Keep the shoes performing optimally by rinsing off mud with lukewarm water after each hike. Use a soft brush to remove dirt from the outsole tread. To maintain the leather, avoid drying them directly under intense heat sources like radiators, as this can cause the material to crack. If the interior becomes wet, air dry them naturally with the insoles removed.
