Salomon XT-4 OG - Black - UK 10

The Salomon XT-4 OG sneakers are highly capable for trail walking and light to moderate trail running, offering stability and excellent grip. For highly technical or ultra-distance trail running, you might consider models specifically designed for those extreme conditions, though these will perform well for many users.

We recommend referring to the Salomon sizing chart. The XT-4 OG features a roomier metatarsal fit, so if you are between sizes, consider trying the smaller size first or trying them on to ensure a comfortable yet secure fit. Some users may find they can size down by half a size due to the generous toe box.

The textile upper offers breathability, but these sneakers are not fully waterproof. They can handle light rain and splashes but are not designed for submersion or heavy downpours. For protection in consistently wet conditions, consider a waterproof variant if available or use a protective waterproofing spray.

The Agile Chassis System provides a full-length, supportive structure within the shoe that enhances stability and foot control. This is particularly beneficial on uneven or challenging terrain, helping to prevent twists and providing a more secure and confident stride throughout your activity.

To maintain optimal traction, regularly clean the outsole by brushing off dried mud and debris with a stiff brush and water. Ensure no small stones or objects are lodged in the lugs, as these can affect grip and wear.

Yes, the OrthoLite Sockliner is removable. This feature allows for easier airing out of the shoes after use, facilitates cleaning, and provides the option to replace them with custom orthotics or preferred insoles if desired.

Though designed for comfort, individual foot shapes vary. Re-adjust lacing for a more customized fit. Consider trying different socks (e.g., thicker or thinner) or after-market insoles if discomfort persists. The roomier metatarsal fit might require different lacing strategies for some.

While featuring All Terrain Contagrip, extreme conditions (e.g., thick mud, ice, very smooth wet rock) can still challenge grip. Ensure outsole lugs are clean of debris, which can reduce effectiveness. Adjust stride and pace in challenging conditions. The outsole is designed for 'all terrain' but has limits.

Remove the OrthoLite Sockliner after use to allow both the sockliner and shoe interior to air dry completely. You can also use shoe deodorizers, anti-odor sprays, or sprinkle baking soda inside when not in use. Ensure shoes are always dried thoroughly after getting wet.

Inspect the shoe regularly for damage. Ensure they are correctly sized to prevent excessive friction in certain areas. Clean them as recommended to maintain material integrity. Avoid excessive dragging of feet or contact with highly abrasive surfaces where possible.
