Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Salomon Exeo 2 Mid GTX shoes provide long-term performance, proper care is essential:
- Break-in: Wear your new shoes on short, flat walks to allow the materials to adapt to your foot shape before attempting long, steep hikes.
- Cleaning: Remove excess dirt after every hike using a soft brush. For a deeper clean, use lukewarm water and a mild, non-detergent soap. Avoid using heavy machinery or harsh chemicals.
- Drying: Always air dry your shoes at room temperature. Never place them directly on radiators or near heaters, as extreme heat can damage the GORE-TEX membrane and warp the adhesives.
- Storage: Keep them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use to maintain the integrity of the materials.
