FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for everyday wear or just trail running?

The Salomon XT-4 OG trainers are designed with a trail-inspired silhouette and performance features, making them excellent for trail running and hiking. However, their comfortable cushioning and stylish design also make them suitable for everyday wear, especially for those who appreciate a sporty aesthetic.

How do I ensure the correct size?

The XT-4 OG trainers use standard UK adult sizing. It is recommended to measure your foot and compare it with Salomon's size chart, or try them on if possible, to ensure the best fit.

Are the shoes completely waterproof?

The upper is described as waterproof, meaning it offers protection against rain and puddles. However, they are not designed for full submersion. For extreme wet conditions or long-term water exposure, consider models with GORE-TEX technology.

How durable is the Contagrip outsole?

Contagrip is known for its durability and ability to provide reliable traction across various surfaces. The lifespan of the outsole will depend on the frequency and intensity of use, as well as the terrain encountered.

Can the Quicklace system be replaced if damaged?

Yes, replacement Quicklace systems and cords are generally available from Salomon or specialized retailers. Instructions for replacement are typically provided with the spare parts.

What is the purpose of the Agile Chassis?

The Agile Chassis provides stability and support to your foot, especially on uneven terrain. It also contributes to energy return, helping to make your stride more efficient and comfortable during activities like running or hiking.

How should I store these trainers when not in use?

Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure they are clean and dry before storing to prevent material degradation and odors. Using a shoe tree can help maintain their shape.

Troubleshooting

Laces won't tighten or loosen properly

Ensure the Quicklace toggle is fully engaged when tightening and fully pulled down when loosening. Check the lace channels for any debris that might be obstructing movement.

Discomfort or pressure points

Verify the Quicklace system is adjusted for a snug but not overly tight fit. Consider trying different sock thicknesses or breaking in the shoes further with shorter wear periods.

Reduced grip on wet surfaces

Clean the Contagrip outsole thoroughly to remove any mud or debris that might be affecting traction. Inspect the tread for significant wear, which may indicate the need for replacement.

Upper material feels stiff

This is normal for new shoes with TPU reinforcements. Wear them for shorter periods initially to allow them to conform to your foot shape. Avoid using heat to speed up the break-in process.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent stability and energy return from the Agile Chassis.
  • Reliable grip on multiple surfaces due to the Contagrip outsole.
  • Comfortable cushioning provided by the dual-density EVA midsole and OrthoLite sockliner.
  • Durable construction with abrasion-resistant TPU foil.
  • Quick and secure lacing system for ease of use.
  • Versatile design suitable for both trail running and casual wear.

Cons

  • Standard sizing may require careful measurement or trying on.
  • While waterproof, extensive submersion may compromise performance.
  • Nylon mesh upper, while durable, may offer less insulation in extreme cold.
  • Primarily designed for performance, aesthetic may not suit all casual styles.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Salomon XT-4 OG trainers feature a Quicklace system. To secure, pull the laces upwards with the toggle. To release, pull the toggle downwards. Ensure the laces are comfortably snug but not overly tight to avoid restricting circulation.

Compatibility: These trainers are designed for adult use and are suitable for individuals seeking performance footwear for mixed terrain activities. They are compatible with standard athletic socks. Sizing is standard UK adult foot sizing.

Care:

  1. Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft brush or cloth with cool water to remove dirt and debris from the nylon mesh and TPU elements. Avoid harsh detergents.
  2. Cleaning the Midsole and Outsole: Wipe down with a damp cloth. For tougher grime on the outsole, a firmer brush can be used.
  3. Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in direct sunlight, as this can damage the materials.
  4. Laces: The Quicklace system does not typically require removal for cleaning, but if needed, refer to specific instructions for re-threading if detached.
