FAQs

Are these shoes waterproof?

The Salomon XT-6 Expanse Leather hiking shoes are water-resistant due to their leather construction and design, but they are not fully waterproof. For extended submersion or heavy rain, consider waterproof hiking boots.

How do I clean the leather upper?

Wipe with a damp cloth and use a specialized leather cleaner and balm. Allow to air dry away from heat. Do not immerse in water.

What is the intended use for these shoes?

They are designed for trail hiking and everyday urban use, offering a balance of durability, traction, and comfort.

Does the Sensifit system require special lacing?

No, the Sensifit structure works with standard lace-up closure. Simply adjust the laces to achieve a secure and comfortable fit that cradles the foot.

What is the heel-to-toe drop?

These shoes have a 10 mm drop.

Can I replace the Ortholite insole?

Yes, the insole can be removed and replaced with a custom orthotic or alternative insole if desired, though the included insole provides significant cushioning and shock absorption.

Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?

The Sensifit system provides a secure fit, but the shoe's width is standard. Individuals with very wide feet may find them snug. Trying them on is recommended.

Troubleshooting

Laces come undone frequently

Ensure laces are tied securely using a double knot. Consider replacing laces with a textured pair for better grip.

Discomfort after initial wear

Allow for a break-in period of a few wears. Adjust lacing to alleviate pressure points. Ensure correct sizing.

Reduced traction on wet surfaces

Clean the Contagrip outsole to remove embedded debris. Ensure the outsole material has not worn down significantly. For very slick surfaces, caution is always advised.

Leather appears dry or stiff

Apply a leather conditioner or balm specifically designed for footwear. Follow product instructions carefully.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent traction on diverse surfaces due to Contagrip outsole.
  • Superior comfort and shock absorption from Ortholite insole.
  • Durable leather construction suitable for rugged use.
  • Secure and comfortable fit with Sensifit technology.
  • Versatile design for both trail performance and urban style.

Cons

  • Leather requires regular maintenance and specific cleaning methods.
  • May be heavier than synthetic-based trail shoes.
  • The 10mm drop might not suit individuals preferring a zero-drop or lower-drop shoe.
  • Initial break-in period may be necessary for optimal comfort.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

These shoes are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure the laces are adjusted using the standard lace-up closure for a secure and comfortable fit. The Sensifit structure should cradle your foot snugly without being restrictive.

Compatibility:

Designed primarily for adult use, these hiking shoes are suitable for individuals seeking a blend of trail performance and casual wear. They are compatible with standard hiking socks and can be used with most types of insoles if additional arch support is needed, though the integrated Ortholite insole is designed for comfort.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Wipe the leather and synthetic overlays with a damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a dedicated leather cleaner and balm as recommended for your specific leather type. Avoid submerging the shoes in water.
  • Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can damage the leather and adhesives.
  • Maintenance: Periodically treat the leather with a suitable conditioner to maintain its suppleness and prevent cracking.
