FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
While the leather construction is durable and provides some protection against the elements, they are not explicitly marketed as waterproof.
Are these suitable for long-distance running?
These trainers are designed for everyday use and light activity; they are not intended for high-mileage technical running.
How do I determine my size?
The X-alp Ltr uses standard UK sizing. We recommend choosing your usual size, noting that leather may stretch slightly over time.
Can I use custom insoles?
Yes, the standard insole is typically removable, allowing you to insert orthotics or custom insoles if desired.
What is the primary material?
The exterior is constructed from durable leather with reinforced synthetic panels for protection.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too stiff initially
Wear them indoors for short periods over a few days to allow the leather to soften and conform to your foot.
Slippage on smooth surfaces
Ensure the outsole is free of caked-on dirt or debris, as the textured grip performs best when clean.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Salomon X-alp Ltr Trainers last, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Initial Fit: Ensure the laces are adjusted to your specific foot volume before the first long walk to avoid pressure points.
- Cleaning: Wipe away mud and dirt with a damp cloth. For stubborn stains on the leather, use a specific leather cleaner.
- Drying: Always air dry at room temperature away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can crack the leather.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to maintain the integrity of the material.
