FAQs
Are the Salomon XT-Wings 2 waterproof?
These trainers are designed for breathability and versatility, but they do not feature a waterproof membrane like Gore-Tex.
Can I use these for marathon running?
While durable and comfortable, they are primarily designed for light trails and general outdoor activity rather than long-distance road running performance.
How do I choose the right size?
Salomon sizing is generally consistent with standard EU/UK athletic shoe sizing. It is recommended to leave about a half-inch of space in front of your longest toe.
Is this a unisex model?
Yes, this specific version of the XT-Wings 2 is designed for a unisex fit, catering to a wide variety of adult foot shapes.
What is the best way to store them?
Store them in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to prevent the materials and adhesives from breaking down prematurely.
Troubleshooting
Feeling discomfort or pressure points during use
Adjust the lace tension across the midfoot or try thinner socks to improve internal volume.
Accumulation of debris inside the shoe
Ensure the tongue is properly centered and consider using a gaiter if walking through high-debris areas.
Loss of traction on wet surfaces
Clean the outsole treads with a stiff-bristled brush to remove compacted dirt that may be blocking the grip patterns.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure optimal performance, verify that the shoe size matches your foot measurements while wearing your preferred thickness of performance socks. The XT-Wings 2 utilizes standard lacing systems; ensure laces are tightened evenly across the midfoot to prevent slippage. For care, avoid machine washing or drying, as this can degrade the specialized foams and adhesives. Instead, clean the exterior using a soft brush and lukewarm water. If the shoes become saturated with mud, allow them to air dry in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources, such as radiators or fireplaces, to maintain the structural integrity of the materials.
