FAQs

Are these shoes waterproof?

The product description does not specify waterproof features. They are designed for trail use and offer some water resistance, but are not fully waterproof.

What is the intended use for these shoes?

These are hiking shoes designed for adult adventurers for use on trails and outdoor expeditions.

How do I determine the correct UK size?

The size indicated (UK 12) refers to the adult UK men's foot sizing. It is recommended to try them on with your hiking socks to confirm fit.

Can these shoes be used for running?

While they offer comfort and support, they are primarily designed as hiking shoes. For running, dedicated running shoes would be more appropriate due to differences in sole flexibility and cushioning.

What is the warranty period for Salomon footwear?

Information regarding the specific warranty period for this model is not provided in the product description.

How durable is the silver colour accent?

The silver accents are part of the design. On heavily used trails, these accents may show signs of wear over time, which is typical for outdoor gear.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or cause rubbing

Allow for a break-in period. Wear them for short walks initially and gradually increase duration. Ensure you are wearing appropriate hiking socks.

Traction seems reduced on wet surfaces

Clean the outsole thoroughly to remove any embedded debris. While designed for grip, performance can be affected by mud or specific wet conditions. Consider alternative footwear for extremely slick surfaces.

Laces come undone frequently

Re-tie the laces using a secure knot. If the lace material is slippery, consider replacing them with a more textured pair.

  • Reliable traction on diverse surfaces.
  • Comfortable for moderate hiking distances.
  • Appealing visual design.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup: These shoes are ready to wear out of the box. We recommend trying them on indoors with your usual hiking socks to ensure a proper fit before venturing outdoors. Adjust the lacing to your preference for a secure feel.

Compatibility: Designed for adult male foot sizes (UK 12 shown). They are compatible with standard hiking socks. Not designed for specialized footwear accessories like gaiters that require specific attachment points.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: After each use, brush off loose dirt and mud with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth or a mild soap solution. Avoid machine washing.
  2. Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Keep them away from direct heat sources like radiators or fires, as this can damage the materials.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use to maintain their condition.
