FAQs
Are these shoes actually waterproof?
Yes, they feature a GORE-TEX membrane specifically engineered to be waterproof while allowing some moisture vapor to escape.
Can I use these for long-distance running?
While highly supportive, they are generally classified as technical trainers rather than dedicated racing shoes. They are excellent for hiking, walking, and all-day wear.
Do I need to size up for these?
Salomon trainers generally run true to size, but since they have a more structured build, some users prefer a half-size up if they wear thick socks.
How should I store them when not in use?
Store them in a cool, dry place with good air circulation to maintain the integrity of the materials.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
It is not recommended to machine wash these shoes, as the heat and agitation can damage the waterproof lining and structural integrity.
Troubleshooting
Feeling discomfort after the first wear
This is likely due to the break-in period for the sturdy GORE-TEX materials; try wearing them for shorter durations initially.
Outer surface accumulating dirt or stains
Use a soft-bristled brush to gently scrub the area; for persistent stains, use a specialized technical footwear cleaner.
Foot feels too hot during summer use
The GORE-TEX membrane is waterproof, which inherently reduces some airflow; switch to non-waterproof trainers if you are exclusively in hot, dry climates.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your trainers, follow these guidelines:
- Break-in: Wear your trainers for short periods indoors or on light walks to allow the materials to adapt to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Remove excess dirt with a soft brush after use. If they get muddy, wipe clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid using heavy detergents or machine washing, as this can degrade the GORE-TEX performance.
- Drying: Air dry your shoes at room temperature away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can cause the materials to warp or crack.
- Storage: Keep them in a well-ventilated area to prevent moisture buildup and odors.
