Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
These shoes require no specific setup. They are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure the laces are adjusted for a comfortable and secure fit before your first use.
Compatibility:
The Salomon XT EVR GTX is designed for general adult foot anatomy and is compatible with standard athletic socks. It is not designed for use with specialized orthotics unless they are specifically designed to fit within a hiking shoe profile.
Care:
- Cleaning: After use, remove loose dirt with a soft brush. Clean the shoes with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid using harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or fires, as this can damage the materials and the GORE-TEX membrane.
- Waterproofing: While GORE-TEX is highly waterproof, regular cleaning helps maintain its performance. Consider using a waterproofing spray suitable for GORE-TEX materials periodically to maintain water repellency on the upper.
- Laces: Inspect laces regularly for wear and tear. Replace if necessary.
