FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
While the leather construction offers some natural resistance, they are not marketed as fully waterproof. Consider using a protective spray if you frequently traverse wet environments.
What is the primary terrain for these trainers?
They are designed for 'all terrain' use, meaning they are versatile enough for rocky, loose, and soft mud trails.
Can I use these for road running?
While they are comfortable, the aggressive 3.5 mm lugs and chassis are optimized for trails. Frequent road use will wear down the tread faster.
How should I clean the leather upper?
Wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid soaking the leather, as this can lead to stiffness once dried.
What does the 11 mm drop mean for me?
A higher drop provides more heel cushioning and reduces the strain on your Achilles tendon, which is beneficial for many long-distance trail runners.
Troubleshooting
Feeling of stiffness in the sole
The 3D Advanced Chassis is designed for stability; break in the shoes for 20-30 miles to allow the midsole foam to adapt to your foot strike.
Accumulation of mud in lugs
Use a stiff-bristled plastic brush to clear debris from the Contagrip pattern to ensure maximum traction for your next outing.
Pros and Cons

- Heavier than specialized racing flat trainers
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To get the best performance, ensure your Salomon trainers are properly broken in with shorter walks or light jogs before tackling intense, multi-hour trail adventures. Compatibility is best suited for neutral to over-pronating runners who need extra platform support. For care, avoid machine washing. After muddy runs, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, to prevent the leather from cracking. Brush off dried dirt after every outing to maintain the effectiveness of the tread pattern.
