FAQs

Are these shoes waterproof?

The Salomon X Alp Woven Trainers feature a mesh construction, which prioritizes breathability over waterproofing. They are not designed to be waterproof and may not keep your feet dry in wet conditions.

What is the primary intended use for these trainers?

These technical hiking trainers are primarily designed for technical hiking and general outdoor activities. They offer good grip and support for varied terrains.

How do I choose the right size?

Refer to the size guide provided by the retailer or Salomon. It is recommended to measure your foot length and compare it with the UK sizing. Trying them on with your preferred type of sock is ideal.

Can I use these for trail running?

While they offer good traction, these trainers are optimized for hiking rather than the high-impact demands of trail running. For dedicated trail running, specialized shoes might offer better cushioning and support.

What is the warranty on these trainers?

Warranty information is typically provided by the retailer at the time of purchase. Please check your receipt or the retailer's website for details on the warranty period and coverage.

How durable is the woven material?

The woven construction, combined with textured overlays, is designed for durability in outdoor conditions. However, like all footwear, prolonged use in harsh environments will eventually lead to wear and tear.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable

Wear the shoes around the house for short periods to break them in. Adjust the lacing pattern to relieve pressure points. Ensure you have the correct size; consider thicker socks if slightly loose, or thinner socks if very tight.

Traction is reduced on wet surfaces

Ensure the outsole is clean and free from mud or debris. For significantly slick surfaces, proceed with caution as no sole guarantees perfect grip in all conditions.

Mesh material shows signs of wear

Avoid snagging the mesh on sharp objects. Clean gently with a damp cloth. For minor fraying, consider a fabric glue for a temporary fix, but significant damage may require replacement.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable materials suitable for challenging trails.
  • Secure lacing system provides a customizable fit.
  • Good traction on various surfaces due to the track sole.
  • Breathable mesh keeps feet cooler during activity.
  • Versatile for hiking and other active pursuits.

Cons

  • May require an initial break-in period for maximum comfort.
  • The brown and silver colorway might not suit all aesthetic preferences.
  • Lace-up system might be less convenient for quick adjustments compared to other closures.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These trainers are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure you have the correct size for a comfortable fit. Adjust the laces to your preference for a secure feel before your first use.

Compatibility: Suitable for adult unisex use. Compatible with standard outdoor activities such as hiking, trail walking, and general outdoor exploration. They are designed to be worn with athletic or hiking socks.

Care: To clean, use a damp cloth to wipe away dirt and mud from the mesh and overlays. For stubborn stains, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by rinsing with a clean, damp cloth. Allow the trainers to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources. Avoid machine washing or harsh chemical cleaners, as these can damage the materials.
