Product Information
Full details
The Salomon XT-Quest Trainers are built for the modern adventurer and the urban explorer. They offer exceptional all-weather protection with a Gore-Tex® membrane and reliable traction on diverse terrains thanks to the CONTAGRIP® outsole. While providing advanced stability and comfort for extended wear, a potential consideration is the synthetic upper's break-in period for optimal flexibility.

FAQs
Are the Salomon XT-Quest Trainers truly waterproof?
Yes, they feature a Gore-Tex® membrane, which is a high-performance waterproof and breathable material designed to keep your feet dry from external moisture while allowing internal moisture (sweat) to escape.
How do I choose the right size?
Refer to the sizing chart provided by Salomon or the retailer. It is recommended to measure your foot length and compare it with the UK sizing. Trying them on, if possible, is the best way to ensure a proper fit.
Can I use these for running?
While they offer good grip and support, the XT-Quest Trainers are primarily designed for hiking, trail running, and general outdoor or urban use. For dedicated road running, specialized running shoes would typically be more appropriate.
How durable is the synthetic upper?
The synthetic upper is designed for longevity and flexibility. It is engineered to withstand abrasion and the stresses of outdoor activities, offering good resilience over time.
What is the primary benefit of the Advanced Chassis™ system?
The Advanced Chassis™ system is located between the outsole and midsole and provides enhanced stability, motion control, and protection for a more agile and secure stride on varied terrain.
How often should I clean my trainers?
Clean your trainers as needed, especially after exposure to mud, dirt, or significant moisture. Regular light cleaning helps maintain their performance and extend their lifespan.
What surfaces is the CONTAGRIP® outsole best suited for?
CONTAGRIP® technology is designed for exceptional grip on a wide range of surfaces, including wet, dry, hard, and loose ground. This makes them versatile for both trail and urban environments.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable initially
This is common with new synthetic materials. Wear the shoes for short periods initially and gradually increase the duration to allow them to break in and mold to your feet.
Reduced grip on wet surfaces
Ensure the CONTAGRIP® outsole is clean. Mud or debris can accumulate and reduce traction. Clean the sole thoroughly with water and a brush.
Feet feel damp despite no visible water ingress
This could indicate reduced breathability. Ensure the Gore-Tex® membrane is not clogged with dirt; clean the exterior gently. Also, consider the type of socks being worn, as moisture-wicking socks can improve comfort.
Seams or stitching appear to be loosening
Inspect the stitching carefully. If minor, it might not affect performance. However, if significant, contact customer support for advice on warranty or repair options.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These trainers are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure you have selected the correct UK size for optimal comfort and performance. They require no initial setup or assembly.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft brush or damp cloth to remove dirt and debris from the synthetic upper. For tougher stains, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly.
- Cleaning the Sole: Clean the CONTAGRIP® outsole with water and a brush to remove mud or grit, ensuring optimal grip.
- Drying: Allow the trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials and the Gore-Tex® membrane. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
- Waterproofing Maintenance: While the Gore-Tex® membrane is durable, avoid harsh chemicals that could compromise its integrity. Periodic re-waterproofing treatments are generally not required for the membrane itself but can be applied to the synthetic upper if desired.
