Salomon Hiking Shoes - Grey - UK 9

Yes, the integrated Gore-Tex membrane provides excellent waterproofing, making them suitable for wet conditions, while also offering breathability for comfort in drier weather.

For best results, always refer to the specific care instructions on the product label. Generally, clean off loose dirt with a brush or damp cloth and air dry away from direct heat. Avoid machine washing.

These shoes are designed for diverse outdoor terrains, including hiking trails, rocky paths, and uneven surfaces, thanks to their Contagrip sole for stability and stone guard for protection.

While engineered for comfort, a short break-in period by wearing them for lighter activities before a long hike is recommended to allow the shoes to fully adapt to your foot shape.

Gore-Tex is a waterproof, breathable fabric membrane that prevents water from entering the shoe while allowing moisture vapor (perspiration) to escape, keeping your feet dry and comfortable.

The Contagrip sole uses a combination of rubber densities and specialized lug geometry to provide optimal grip and durability on a wide variety of surfaces, both wet and dry.

Yes, while packed with hiking technology, their versatile design makes them comfortable and adaptable enough for daily casual wear.

The upper is constructed from synthetic and textile materials, the lining is textile, and the sole is made of durable rubber, including Contagrip technology.

Ensure proper gaiter use if in deep puddles/snow. Check for damage to the membrane. Verify socks are wicking and not cotton, which retains moisture.

Clean the Contagrip sole thoroughly to remove embedded debris. Assess if the terrain is beyond the shoe's designed capabilities (e.g., ice without appropriate traction aids).

Ensure you have the correct size and fit. Try different lacing techniques. Wear appropriate hiking socks. A break-in period might still be needed.

Remove insoles after use to air dry. Use odor-absorbing inserts. Clean the interior with a mild soap solution and allow to air dry completely.
