FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
The Salomon XT-Quest is designed for durability and stability, but it is not specifically marketed as waterproof. Consider applying a textile-safe water repellent spray if you expect frequent exposure to wet conditions.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are removable and can be replaced with custom orthotics if you require specific arch support.
How do I ensure I get the right size?
Salomon sizing is generally consistent, but because this is a performance shoe with a structured fit, ensure you have a small amount of space at the toes when wearing your preferred hiking socks.
Is this shoe suitable for heavy-duty backpacking?
The XT-Quest is highly capable for varied terrain, but for multi-day heavy-load backpacking, ensure the support level meets your specific carry requirements.
What is the best way to store them?
Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the rubber and upper materials from drying out or discoloring.
Troubleshooting
Feeling discomfort or pressure points during use
Adjust the lace tension throughout the eyelets to distribute pressure more evenly across the bridge of the foot.
Outsole losing traction in mud
Use a stiff-bristled brush to clear debris and mud from the tread pattern to regain full contact with the ground.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure optimal performance, verify your specific UK size, as the XT-Quest provides a precise, technical fit. Before your first long-distance outing, it is recommended to wear the shoes for shorter durations to allow the materials to adapt to your foot shape. Regarding maintenance, avoid machine washing; instead, clean the exterior with a soft brush and lukewarm water to preserve the integrity of the materials. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, which can degrade the adhesive and upper materials over time.
