FAQs
Is the Salomon XT-4 OG waterproof?
No, the XT-4 OG features a robust mesh upper for breathability and is not waterproof. For wet conditions, consider the GORE-TEX versions of the XT series.
Can I use these for marathon running?
While durable, the XT-4 OG is better suited for trail running and daily walking. Dedicated marathon shoes usually provide more specialized road-foam cushioning.
How should I clean the Contagrip outsole?
Use a stiff-bristled brush and warm water to dislodge small stones and mud trapped in the lugs.
Does the shoe run true to size?
Yes, it generally fits true to standard sizing, though the technical construction provides a snug, performance-oriented fit.
Can the insoles be replaced?
Yes, the OrthoLite sockliner is removable and can be replaced with custom orthotics if required.
What is the primary difference between XT-4 and XT-6?
The XT-4 is often lighter and more focused on trail performance, while the XT-6 typically features heavier duty reinforced materials and varying outsole patterns.
Troubleshooting
Laces feel loose after short activity
Ensure the lace stopper is pushed firmly against the tongue and that excess lacing is tucked into the designated lace pocket.
Increased friction or hot spots
Re-adjust the speed lacing to ensure even tension and ensure you are wearing socks of the appropriate thickness for your foot arch.
Accumulation of debris inside the shoe
While the mesh is robust, consider wearing gaiters if navigating extremely dusty or rocky trail conditions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longest lifespan for your XT-4 OG trainers, proper care is essential. When first putting them on, use the speed lacing system to distribute tension evenly across the bridge of your foot to prevent pressure points. For maintenance, avoid machine washing, which can degrade the adhesive bonds and damage the structural TPU film. Instead, brush off loose dirt with a soft-bristled brush after trail use. If the shoes become muddy, wipe them down with a damp cloth and mild soap, then allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources like radiators, as heat can warp the dual-density midsole material. Store your shoes in a cool, dry place to prevent moisture buildup within the mesh upper.
