FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The Quicklace™ system allows for significant adjustment, making them adaptable to various foot widths. However, individuals with exceptionally wide feet might find them snug. It's recommended to try them on if possible.
How do I clean the GORE-TEX material?
GENTLY clean the GORE-TEX fabric with a soft brush or damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a small amount of mild soap and lukewarm water. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry completely.
Can I replace the Quicklace™ system?
Yes, replacement Quicklace™ kits are available from Salomon or authorized retailers. They typically include new laces, a lace locker, and instructions for installation.
What is the primary benefit of the dual-density EVA midsole?
The dual-density EVA midsole provides enhanced shock absorption and stability, offering a balance of cushioning for comfort and support for varied terrains, reducing fatigue during extended use.
How do these shoes differ from the non-GORE-TEX version?
The primary difference is the inclusion of a GORE-TEX membrane, which makes these shoes fully waterproof and highly breathable, suitable for wet conditions, whereas the non-GORE-TEX version offers less water resistance.
Are these considered hiking shoes or running shoes?
They are versatile trail running shoes that also perform exceptionally well for light hiking due to their robust construction, grip, and cushioning. They bridge the gap between trail running and hiking footwear.
What does the 'S/Lab' designation signify?
S/Lab signifies Salomon's high-performance, athlete-tested line, often featuring advanced materials and design innovations for competitive use.
Troubleshooting
Laces not tightening properly
Ensure the Quicklace™ cord is properly seated in the lace locker. Check for any debris that might be obstructing the mechanism. Retighten by pulling firmly on both lace ends.
Water seeping into the shoe
Inspect the GORE-TEX membrane for any visible damage or punctures. Ensure all seams and the tongue area are sealed correctly. Clean the shoe as per care instructions, as dirt can compromise waterproofing.
Discomfort or rubbing
Adjust the Quicklace™ tension for a more personalized fit. Ensure the sockliner is correctly positioned. If discomfort persists, consider wearing them for shorter periods to break them in, or consult a footwear specialist.
Reduced grip on surfaces
Clean the Contagrip® outsole to remove any embedded mud or debris. Examine the tread for excessive wear, which may indicate the outsole needs replacement.
