FAQs
Are these trainers waterproof?
The Salomon XT-EVR trainers are designed for everyday wear and light exploration. They offer some resistance to light moisture but are not fully waterproof. For heavy rain or wet conditions, specialized waterproof footwear is recommended.
What type of terrain are these trainers best suited for?
These trainers are ideal for urban environments, light trails, walking paths, and general everyday exploration. They provide a stable and comfortable base for varied surfaces but are not intended for extreme off-road or technical mountain terrain.
How do I know if I have the right size?
The ideal fit should allow about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe. The heel should feel secure without slipping, and there should be no pinching or excessive pressure points on the sides or top of your foot.
Can these trainers be used for running?
While comfortable and light, the XT-EVR trainers are primarily designed for lifestyle and light exploration rather than high-performance running. For dedicated running, especially trail running, Salomon offers specific running shoe models with features tailored for that purpose.
What is the main difference between the XT-EVR and other Salomon trail shoes?
The XT-EVR focuses on merging trail-inspired aesthetics with everyday versatility. Compared to more technical trail running or hiking shoes from Salomon, the XT-EVR prioritizes comfort, stability, and a fashionable look for daily use, rather than extreme performance in challenging conditions.
How should I store these trainers when not in use?
It's best to store your Salomon XT-EVR trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Ensure they are clean and dry before storage to prevent material degradation or odor.
Troubleshooting
Discomfort or rubbing
Ensure the correct size has been selected. Break in the shoes gradually by wearing them for shorter periods initially. Check that laces are tied appropriately, not too tight or too loose.
Traction seems reduced
Clean the outsoles to remove any embedded dirt or debris that may be affecting grip. For significantly worn treads, consider replacement.
Materials feel stiff after getting wet
Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from heat sources. Once dry, if materials feel stiff, a suitable footwear conditioner might help restore flexibility (test on an inconspicuous area first).

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Salomon XT-EVR trainers require no specific setup. They are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure you have selected the correct size for optimal comfort and performance.
Compatibility: These trainers are designed for general adult use. They are compatible with a wide range of casual wear. For specific outdoor activities, consider the terrain and conditions; these are best suited for light trails and everyday exploration rather than extreme mountain trekking.
Care: To maintain the condition of your XT-EVR trainers:
- Cleaning: Gently wipe the exterior with a damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For stubborn stains, use a mild soap and water solution. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Allow the trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials.
- Insoles: If removable, take out the insoles to air them separately. They can be hand-washed with mild soap if needed.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight.
