FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
While the X-alp LTR trainers use durable materials, they are not explicitly marketed as waterproof. Consider using a protective spray if you plan on using them in wet conditions.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are removable, allowing you to insert custom orthotics if required.
Are these suitable for heavy hiking?
They are designed as versatile trainers capable of handling light trails, but for intensive, multi-day alpine hiking, a dedicated hiking boot may provide more support.
Do these shoes run true to size?
Salomon trainers generally run true to standard sizing, though the precise fit design means they may feel more snug than casual sneakers.
How do I identify the right size for me?
Measure your feet at the end of the day when they are at their largest, and compare your measurement against the standard UK sizing guide.
Troubleshooting
The fit feels too tight around the midfoot.
Try adjusting the lacing pattern to be slightly looser across the bridge of the foot, or use thinner socks during the first few wears.
The shoes feel stiff out of the box.
This is normal for high-performance footwear. Wear them for short periods around the house to allow the materials to soften naturally to your foot shape.
Outer materials looking dull or dusty.
Use a specialized leather or synthetic shoe cleaner and a soft-bristle brush to restore the finish.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Salomon trainers last as long as possible, follow these guidelines:
- Fitting: When you first try them on, ensure there is a thumb-width of space between your toes and the front of the shoe.
- Cleaning: Wipe away loose dirt with a soft brush after use. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap; avoid fully submerging in water or using harsh detergents.
- Drying: Always air dry at room temperature. Never place near heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, as this can warp the materials.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place out of direct light to prevent the leather and synthetic components from prematurely aging.
