- Are these shoes fully waterproof?
- Yes. The Gore-Tex membrane is built into the shoe, so it blocks water while still letting some vapor escape. Water can still enter over the collar in deep streams.
- How does the Fast Lacing System work?
- A single cord runs through the eyelets and locks with a sliding toggle. Pull the cord to tighten the whole shoe, then tuck the excess into the tongue pocket.
- Do they fit true to size?
- Salomon trail shoes generally run close to standard US sizing, though some wearers size up a half for thicker socks or wider feet. Try them with the socks you hike in.
- Are they good for everyday walking?
- They work for city walking and commuting, especially in wet weather. The soft lugs wear faster on pavement, so heavy road use shortens their life.
- How do they compare with a mid-cut hiking boot?
- They are lighter and more breathable but offer less ankle support and protection. Choose a boot for heavy packs and rough terrain, and these for day hikes and travel.
- What is the Ortholite insole for?
- It adds a layer of cushioning underfoot and resists odor and moisture buildup. It is removable if you want to use your own insoles.
