Extended Product Information
FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for winter hiking?
Yes, the Gore-Tex membrane and robust tread make them capable of handling cold and slushy conditions, though they are not insulated for extreme sub-zero temperatures.
How do I clean the leather upper?
Wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap. Use a leather-specific conditioner periodically to prevent cracking.
Are these shoes true to size?
Salomon generally follows standard sizing, but it is recommended to wear your hiking socks when trying them on to ensure proper fit.
Can I use these for long-distance backpacking?
Absolutely. The stability features and supportive mid-cut make them an excellent choice for carrying moderate to heavy packs on multi-day trips.
Is the Contagrip sole durable on asphalt?
While durable, the sole is optimized for trail use; extensive walking on hard pavement will accelerate tread wear.
Troubleshooting
Reduced waterproof effectiveness
Clean the exterior thoroughly to ensure the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating is not obstructed by dirt, then reapply a leather-safe waterproofing spray.
Foot slipping inside the shoe
Re-lace the shoes using a 'heel lock' technique to secure the ankle, or replace the factory insoles with a higher-volume option.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Superior wet-weather protection via Gore-Tex

- Excellent traction on diverse terrains
- Added protection from the reinforced toe cap
Cons
- Mid-cut height may feel bulky compared to trail runners
- Leather requires more specific care than synthetic materials
- Limited ventilation in extremely hot conditions
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before your first hike, ensure the fit is snug around the midfoot while allowing ample room for your toes to splay. If using your own orthotics, the factory insoles are removable for a custom fit. To maintain the leather upper, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dried mud after every trek. Avoid direct heat sources like heaters when drying the shoes, as this can degrade the leather and the waterproof membrane; instead, air-dry them at room temperature in a well-ventilated area.
