FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
While the leather construction offers some resistance to moisture, they are not fully waterproof. It is recommended to use a leather-specific water repellent spray for added protection.
Can I use these for intense long-distance running?
These trainers are designed for versatile performance and daily wear. They are better suited for light hiking, walking, or casual use rather than long-distance technical running.
Are they true to size?
The Salomon X-alp Ltr generally fits true to standard UK sizing, though the leather structure can feel slightly snug at first compared to mesh trainers.
What is the best way to clean the leather?
Use a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid soaking the leather or using harsh chemicals that might damage the surface finish.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The round toe design allows for good width, but individuals with very wide feet may find the reinforced panels offer less stretch than synthetic options.
Troubleshooting
Laces coming loose during activity
Use a double-knot or ensure the laces are threaded tightly through the eyelets during initial setup.
Stiff feel around the ankle
Adjust the tension of the top eyelet and wear thicker socks during the first few uses to allow the material to soften.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Salomon X-alp Ltr trainers last, follow these guidelines:
- Break-in: Wear the shoes for short intervals initially to allow the leather upper to mold to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Wipe off mud or debris with a soft, damp cloth after each outing. For stubborn dirt, use a leather-safe cleaner.
- Drying: Air dry only. Do not place near heaters or open fires, as excessive heat can cause leather to crack.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight to maintain the integrity of the material and the colour.
