FAQs

Are the Salomon XT-4 OG trainers waterproof?

The upper is constructed with a combination of textile and synthetic materials that offer weather resistance, protecting against light moisture and splashes. However, they are not fully waterproof and are not designed for submersion in water.

How do I adjust the QUICKLACE™ system for the best fit?

Pull the laces firmly until the desired snugness is achieved. The excess lace can then be tucked into the small pocket on the tongue to keep it out of the way.

Can I replace the OrthoLite® sockliner?

Yes, the OrthoLite® sockliner is typically removable and can be replaced with aftermarket insoles if desired, though it is designed for optimal comfort and breathability.

What is the intended use for the XT-4 OG "Sharkskin" trainers?

These trainers are designed for versatile use, blending trail running performance with modern streetwear appeal. They are suitable for hiking, trail running, and everyday urban wear.

How should I clean the Contagrip® outsole?

Use a stiff brush to remove mud and debris from the outsole. For tougher grime, a damp cloth with mild soap can be used. Ensure the sole is free of debris before significant use.

What makes the Agile Chassis™ system beneficial?

The Agile Chassis™ system provides stability and dynamic recoil, helping to support the foot through its natural motion and ensuring a responsive feel on varied terrain.

Troubleshooting

QUICKLACE™ system feels too tight or too loose.

Adjust the tension by pulling or loosening the lace toggle. Ensure the lace ends are securely tucked into the lace pocket. If persistent, consider alternative lacing techniques or seek advice on lace management.

Traction is reduced on wet surfaces.

Ensure the Contagrip® outsole is clean and free from mud or debris. While designed for grip, extremely slick surfaces may still pose a challenge. Allow soles to dry if excessively wet.

Discomfort or rubbing after initial wear.

This can be common with new performance footwear. Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow them to break in. Ensure socks are appropriate for trail running or athletic use. Check lacing for pressure points.

Upper materials appear dirty.

Follow the recommended cleaning instructions using a damp cloth and mild soap. For stubborn marks, a soft brush can help lift dirt. Always air dry.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The primary setup involves adjusting the QUICKLACE™ system. Once you have the shoes on, pull the laces until a secure yet comfortable fit is achieved. Tuck the lace ends into the lace pocket on the tongue to prevent them from snagging.

Compatibility: These trainers are designed for unisex adult use. They are compatible with a wide range of outdoor activities and casual wear. While they offer weather resistance, they are not fully waterproof.

Care: To maintain the performance and appearance of your XT-4 OG trainers:

  1. Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft brush or cloth dampened with water and mild soap to clean the textile and synthetic components. Avoid harsh chemicals.
  2. Cleaning the Sole: Remove loose dirt from the Contagrip® outsole with a brush. For stubborn dirt, use a damp cloth.
  3. Insole Care: The OrthoLite® sockliner can often be removed for airing out or gentle spot cleaning. Ensure it is completely dry before reinserting.
  4. Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials.
