Product Information
Full details
The Salomon Exeo 2 GTX is a versatile hiking shoe designed for female outdoor enthusiasts who require a balance of lightweight agility and all-weather protection on mixed terrain. It excels at keeping feet dry during damp hikes thanks to its integrated GORE-TEX membrane, though it is primarily engineered for trail trekking rather than heavy-duty mountaineering.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for winter hiking?
They provide excellent water protection for wet conditions, but they are not insulated. For extreme cold, pair them with thick wool socks.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, it is recommended to hand wash only to protect the GORE-TEX membrane and structural adhesives.
How should the shoe fit?
The SensiFit system should feel secure without pinching. Ensure there is about a thumbnail's width of space at the toe.
Does the GORE-TEX lining wear out?
With proper care and regular cleaning to prevent dirt buildup, the waterproof performance will remain effective for the lifespan of the shoe.
Are these good for flat feet?
The structural support and SensiFit wrap offer good stability, though users with specific orthotic needs may choose to replace the stock insole.
Troubleshooting
Feeling tightness or pressure points while hiking
Adjust the lacing tension through the SensiFit system; loosen the lower laces slightly if the foot swells during long hikes.
Moisture buildup inside the shoe
Ensure you are using moisture-wicking socks rather than cotton, which traps sweat; if the shoes were submerged, air dry thoroughly before the next use.
Reduced traction on wet surfaces
Check the Contagrip outsole for trapped mud or compacted debris in the lugs, which can reduce grip effectiveness.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent waterproof performance in wet conditions
- Lightweight feel prevents foot fatigue over long distances
- Secure SensiFit system provides confidence on uneven ground
- Durable construction with mud guard protection
Cons
- Not suitable for extreme technical alpine terrain
- May feel less breathable in high-heat summer conditions compared to non-GTX models
- Stiffer build requires a short break-in period
Setup, Compatibility & Care
For the best experience, ensure you are wearing moisture-wicking hiking socks to complement the breathable membrane. To maintain the shoes, remove loose mud and dirt after every hike using a soft brush. If the shoes become heavily soiled, wash them by hand using lukewarm water and a mild detergent. Always air-dry them away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as excessive heat can damage the waterproof membrane and adhesives. Store in a cool, dry place when not in use to preserve the integrity of the synthetic materials.
