FAQs
Are the Salomon XT-Evo shoes waterproof?
The standard XT-Evo model is designed for breathability and is not classified as waterproof. They are suitable for light moisture but not for submersion or heavy rain.
Is this a unisex model?
Yes, the Salomon XT-Evo is designed as a unisex trainer, catering to a wide range of foot shapes.
What is the best way to clean the black fabric?
Spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh detergents or bleach to preserve the black colour intensity.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are removable and can be replaced with custom orthotics or aftermarket insoles if preferred.
Are these suitable for long-distance running?
While comfortable for light jogs and training, they are engineered primarily as a versatile trainer rather than a dedicated long-distance marathon shoe.
Does the size 6.5 UK fit true to size?
Salomon footwear generally follows standard sizing, but if you have a wider foot, you may want to consider trying them on with your typical athletic socks to confirm the fit.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight initially
Ensure you are using standard athletic socks rather than overly thick hiking socks and allow for a brief break-in period for the materials to contour to your foot.
Visible dust or mud buildup
Use a dry, soft brush to knock off debris after each use to prevent dirt from settling into the fabric mesh.
Odour buildup
Remove the insoles after long days of wear to allow them to air out independently and use a deodorizing spray if necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Salomon XT-Evo trainers, follow these guidelines:
- Fitting: Ensure you are wearing the appropriate socks you intend to use with the shoes during your initial fit check to ensure the size 6.5 UK is accurate.
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft-bristled brush after use. If deeper cleaning is required, use a damp cloth with mild soap. Avoid soaking the shoes or using a washing machine, as this can degrade the bonding materials.
- Drying: Air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can cause the materials to warp or crack.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place to maintain the integrity of the cushioning and structure.
