FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
While the leather upper offers some resistance to light moisture, they are not fully waterproof. It is recommended to use a leather-safe water-repellent spray.
Can these be machine washed?
No. Machine washing can ruin the leather material and the structural integrity of the shoe. Clean manually using a damp cloth.
Is the fit true to size?
The Salomon X-alp LTR generally fits true to standard UK sizing. If you prefer a thicker sock, you may want to consider your standard size or slightly up.
What is the primary material used?
The upper is constructed from high-quality leather, known for its durability and ability to mold to the foot.
Are these suitable for hiking?
These trainers are designed for everyday casual wear and light activity. While sturdy, they are not intended for technical mountain hiking.
Troubleshooting
Leather feels stiff after purchase
Leather requires a break-in period. Wear them for short durations and consider a leather conditioner to soften the material.
Surface scuffs appearing
Use a leather matching polish or a damp cloth to gently buff out surface-level marks.
Footbed feels less supportive over time
Consider replacing the original insoles with aftermarket arch-support insoles if you require additional cushioning.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Salomon X-alp LTR trainers last, follow these guidelines:
- Breaking In: New leather shoes may feel stiff initially; wear them for short periods indoors to allow the leather to naturally conform to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Use a soft, dry brush to remove loose dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth and specialized leather cleaner, avoiding harsh chemicals.
- Protection: Apply a leather-safe water repellent spray to protect against moisture and staining, especially if worn in damp conditions.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can cause the leather to crack or fade over time.
