Product Information

Full details

The Salomon CROSSTRAK WP W boots are purpose-built for women tackling winter adventures, offering a winning combination of superior traction, reliable waterproof protection, and insulating warmth. They excel at keeping feet dry and comfortable in snow and freezing temperatures, ensuring stability on challenging terrains. However, their robust, insulated design means they are optimized for cold weather and might feel less agile or warmer than lighter, non-winter specific footwear.

FAQs

Are these boots suitable for very extreme cold conditions?

Yes, the Salomon CROSSTRAK WP W boots feature warm insulation made from recycled materials, designed to keep feet cozy in freezing temperatures. For extremely prolonged exposure or arctic conditions, consider additional layering with thermal socks.

Can I use these boots for activities other than winter hiking, such as city wear?

Absolutely. While designed for winter adventures, their waterproof protection, warmth, and traction make them excellent for daily wear in cold, snowy, or icy urban environments as well. They provide comfort and safety on slippery sidewalks.

How do I ensure the waterproofing lasts?

Regular cleaning and proper drying are crucial. Additionally, periodically re-applying a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment specifically designed for waterproof outdoor footwear will help maintain the boot's water-repellent properties.

What kind of socks should I wear with these boots?

We recommend wearing wool or synthetic thermal socks. These materials wick away moisture from your feet, helping to keep them dry and warm. Avoid cotton socks, as they retain moisture and can lead to cold feet.

Are these boots true to size?

Salomon generally aims for consistent sizing. However, foot shapes vary. It is always recommended to try on the boots with the type of socks you plan to wear to ensure a comfortable and secure fit. These boots are available in UK 5.

How do I clean the muddy or salty exterior of the boots?

Use a soft brush or damp cloth to gently wipe off dirt, mud, or salt residue. For stubborn spots, a mild soap and water solution can be used. Rinse thoroughly with clean water and allow to air dry completely away from direct heat.

Troubleshooting

My feet still feel cold despite wearing the boots.

Check your socks. Ensure you are wearing appropriate non-cotton socks (wool or synthetic) designed for cold weather. Cotton absorbs moisture, which can lead to cold feet. Also, ensure the boots are not laced too tightly, restricting circulation.

The boots feel stiff and uncomfortable.

New boots often require a 'break-in' period. Wear them for shorter durations on easy terrain to allow the materials to soften and conform to your foot. Adjust lacing to find the most comfortable fit.

I'm slipping more than expected on ice.

While the boots offer superior traction on snow, black ice or extremely smooth, hard ice can still be very slippery. Always exercise extreme caution on these surfaces. Traction aids like microspikes or crampons may be necessary in extreme icy conditions.

The boots appear to be losing their waterproof qualities.

The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating on the outer fabric can wear off over time. Clean the boots thoroughly and apply a DWR restoring spray or wash-in treatment designed for waterproof footwear. Ensure the product is suitable for the boot's materials.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Initial Setup

  1. Lacing: Ensure the boots are laced securely but not overly tight. Proper lacing can prevent blisters and enhance stability. Experiment to find the lacing tension that feels most comfortable and supportive for your foot.
  2. Break-in Period: Like most robust footwear, these boots may benefit from a short break-in period. Wear them for shorter periods around the house or on easy walks before embarking on longer excursions to allow the materials to conform to your foot.

Compatibility

These boots are specifically designed for adult women (gender: Female) and are available in various UK sizes, including UK 5. They are intended for winter use and pair well with wool or synthetic thermal socks for optimal warmth and moisture management. Avoid cotton socks, as they retain moisture and can lead to cold feet.

Care & Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and continued performance of your Salomon CROSSTRAK WP W boots:

  • Cleaning: After use, especially if exposed to mud, salt, or slush, wipe the exterior of the boots with a damp cloth to remove dirt and residues. For tougher stains, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by a rinse with clean water. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive brushes.
  • Drying: Always allow your boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Remove insoles if possible to facilitate thorough drying. Do not place them near direct heat sources (like radiators, fireplaces, or direct sunlight) as this can damage materials and adhesives.
  • Waterproofing Maintenance: While waterproof, the outer material's DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating may degrade over time. Consider reapplying a suitable waterproofing treatment periodically to maintain optimal water repellency, especially if you notice water no longer beads off the surface.
  • Storage: Store boots in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight. Ensure they are completely dry before storing for extended periods to prevent mildew or odor.
