FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
The XT-Quest is designed for durability and breathability, but it is not specifically marketed as a waterproof hiking boot.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the footbed is designed to be removable if you wish to swap it for a custom orthotic or specific performance insole.
Is the sizing true to standard?
The Salomon XT-Quest generally follows standard UK sizing, though users who prefer thicker socks for hiking may consider a half-size up.
What kind of terrain is best for these shoes?
They are ideal for light to moderate hiking, gravel paths, and urban environments.
How often should I clean the outsoles?
Cleaning the outsoles after every heavy-use outing will help maintain the grip and extend the life of the rubber compound.
Troubleshooting
Laces feel too tight or loose
Adjust the tension at each eyelet individually rather than just pulling the top lock to ensure even pressure distribution.
Accumulation of debris in the tread
Use a stiff-bristled brush to clear the outsole grooves after returning from muddy or rocky terrain to maintain optimal traction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Salomon XT-Quest footwear, follow these guidelines:
- Initial Fit: Adjust the lacing system by pulling the tension cord evenly to ensure the tongue is centered before securing the lock.
- Cleaning: Remove excess dirt after use with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use lukewarm water and a mild soap, then allow to air dry away from direct heat sources like radiators.
- Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place. Avoid keeping them in damp environments or direct sunlight for extended periods to prevent material degradation.
- Compatibility: These trainers are best paired with moisture-wicking wool or synthetic socks to enhance the breathability provided by the shoe's construction.
