FAQs
Are these shoes truly waterproof?
Yes, they feature a GORE-TEX membrane that is designed to be fully waterproof while allowing moisture vapor to escape.
Can I use these for long-distance hiking?
They are well-suited for light-to-moderate hiking and rugged terrain, though they are categorized as trainers and may lack the ankle support of high-cut dedicated hiking boots.
How do I replace the laces?
The Quicklace system is proprietary; replacement kits are available through Salomon or authorized retailers if a lace snaps.
Should I size up for the GORE-TEX version?
The fit is generally true to size, but since GORE-TEX adds a slight interior lining, consider a half-size larger if you plan on wearing very thick wool hiking socks.
Are they machine washable?
No, machine washing can damage the adhesive and the specialized waterproof membrane. Always clean by hand.
Troubleshooting
Quicklace feels too loose or slips
Ensure the lace lock is fully engaged and the lace is properly routed through the eyelets before tightening.
Foot feels too hot or sweaty
While GORE-TEX is breathable, it is less porous than standard mesh. Use moisture-wicking synthetic socks instead of cotton to improve comfort.
Difficulty putting on the shoe
Loosen the Quicklace completely by sliding the toggle upwards toward the ankle before attempting to slide the foot into the shoe.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Exceptional water resistance for all-weather use
- Highly durable construction with TPU film overlays
- Superior stability provided by the downhill chassis
- Convenient Quicklace system for a secure, custom fit
- Distinctive design that bridges outdoor utility and urban style
Cons
- May feel stiff during the initial break-in phase
- Less ventilation than non-GORE-TEX mesh models
- Heavier feel compared to lightweight dedicated racing shoes
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best fit, ensure the Quicklace is tightened evenly across the bridge of the foot. The excess lace can be tucked into the designated pocket on the tongue for a clean look.
Care Instructions:
- Remove loose mud and dirt after use with a soft-bristled brush.
- Wipe the upper with a damp cloth; avoid submerging in water or using harsh chemical cleaners.
- Air dry away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can damage the GORE-TEX membrane.
- Ensure the insoles are pulled out occasionally to air out and prevent moisture buildup.
