FAQs
Are the Salomon XT-4 Og Recon trainers waterproof?
The standard XT-4 Og Recon is designed for breathability and water resistance against splashes, but it is not fully waterproof. For enhanced waterproofing, look for GORE-TEX versions of Salomon's trail running shoes.
How do I choose the right size?
Refer to the size guide and measure your foot length. The XT-4 Og Recon is designed for a snug, performance fit. It's recommended to try them on if possible or consult reviews regarding sizing recommendations for this specific model.
Can I wear these for everyday casual use?
Yes, the XT-4 Og Recon combines performance features with a distinctive aesthetic, making them suitable for casual wear in addition to trail activities.
How durable is the Quicklace™ system?
The Quicklace™ system is designed for durability and ease of use. It uses strong, thin laces and a secure locking mechanism. While generally robust, the lace or stopper can be replaced if damaged.
What is the main difference between XT-4 and XT-6 models?
While both are performance-oriented, the XT-6 often features more advanced cushioning and stability technologies, and typically offers GORE-TEX versions for superior waterproofing. The XT-4 Og Recon prioritizes a balance of ruggedness and distinctive style.
How often should I clean my trainers?
Clean your trainers as needed, especially after muddy or dirty use. Regular light cleaning can help maintain their appearance and material integrity. Ensure they are fully dry before storing.
Troubleshooting
Laces won't tighten or loosen properly
Ensure the lace cord is clean and free of debris. Check that the Quicklace™ system is correctly threaded and that the stopper is functioning. If damaged, the Quicklace™ system may need replacement.
Discomfort or rubbing during wear
Ensure you have the correct size and width. Try wearing thicker or thinner socks. Some users may benefit from a break-in period; wear the shoes for shorter durations initially and gradually increase wear time.
Traction seems reduced on wet surfaces
Ensure the Contagrip® outsole is clean. Mud or debris can significantly impact grip. For persistent issues on very wet surfaces, consider if the terrain exceeds the intended capability of the specific outsole compound.
Materials showing signs of wear quickly
Inspect the shoes for signs of abrasion or damage from sharp objects. Ensure you are using the correct shoes for the intended activity (e.g., avoid highly abrasive activities if not designed for them). Proper cleaning and drying can help preserve material integrity.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Salomon XT-4 Og Recon trainers are designed for immediate use. Ensure you have selected the correct UK size for a comfortable fit. The Quicklace™ system allows for easy and secure fastening – simply pull the laces tight and tuck the excess into the lace pocket located on the tongue.
Compatibility: These trainers are ideal for adult users seeking footwear for trail running, hiking, outdoor adventures, and casual wear. They are compatible with standard athletic socks.
Care: To maintain the condition of your XT-4 Og Recon trainers:
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt and debris with a soft brush. For more stubborn dirt, use a damp cloth with mild soap and water. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can damage the materials.
- Laces: Clean Quicklace™ cords periodically to ensure smooth operation. Inspect them for wear and tear.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use, preferably in a shoe bag or their original box.
