Product Information
Full details
The Salomon Exeo 2 Mid GORE-TEX Hiking Shoes are designed for female outdoor enthusiasts who require a balance of ankle stability and weather protection on variable terrain. These boots provide a significant win for hikers by combining a reliable GORE-TEX waterproof membrane with an All Terrain Contagrip outsole, ensuring your feet stay dry and sure-footed on wet or rocky paths. However, users should note that the mid-cut, structured design may feel more rigid than lightweight trail runners, requiring a brief break-in period to achieve maximum comfort.

FAQs
Are these boots suitable for wide feet?
The sensiFIT technology offers an adaptable fit, but Salomon boots generally feature a performance-oriented, structured fit. If you have very wide feet, consider sizing up or trying them on with your preferred hiking socks.
Can I use these for winter hiking?
The GORE-TEX lining provides excellent water resistance for slushy conditions, but these are not insulated winter boots. They are best suited for spring, summer, and autumn use.
Do I need to spray these with a waterproofing treatment?
The GORE-TEX membrane is integrated into the lining. While you do not need to treat the membrane itself, applying a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray to the exterior can help prevent the outer fabric from 'wetting out'.
How should I clean the GORE-TEX lining?
Keep the inside clean by removing the footbed and shaking out debris. If the interior gets muddy, wipe it out with a damp, soft cloth.
Are these shoes stiff?
They feature a moderate level of stiffness to provide the necessary support for rocky trails and ankle stability, which may feel firmer than everyday casual footwear.
Is the size UK 6 consistent with other Salomon shoes?
Salomon sizing is generally consistent across their technical range, though it is always recommended to check your fit against our provided size chart or try them on with your hiking socks for an accurate feel.
Troubleshooting
Water entering the shoe despite GORE-TEX membrane
Ensure that your gaiters are used in heavy rain and that no water is entering from the top collar. Check for any deep tears in the upper fabric.
Feeling discomfort or pressure points on the foot
Adjust the lacing system using the sensiFIT eyelets to redistribute tension. Ensure you are wearing the appropriate thickness of hiking socks.
Loss of traction on steep slopes
Ensure the outsole is free of packed mud or debris trapped between the lugs. Use a stiff brush to clear the tread pattern.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Salomon hiking shoes, proper care is essential. Before your first long hike, wear the shoes around your house or on short walks to allow the materials to conform to your feet.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: After muddy hikes, remove loose dirt with a soft brush and rinse with lukewarm water. Do not submerge the shoes in harsh detergents.
- Drying: Air dry naturally in a cool, shaded area. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, which can warp materials and damage the GORE-TEX membrane.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated space to prevent mildew buildup.
- Compatibility: The shoes are compatible with standard hiking socks; for best results, pair them with moisture-wicking wool or synthetic blends rather than cotton.
