FAQs
Are these shoes truly waterproof?
Yes, the integration of the GORE-TEX membrane provides reliable waterproof protection against rain and puddles.
Can I use these for marathon running?
While highly capable, these are designed as trail-specific trainers. They perform best on uneven terrain rather than road marathons.
How do I store the laces?
The tongue features a dedicated lace pocket to tuck away the speed lacing system after adjustment.
Are they true to size?
Salomon footwear generally fits true to size, but the chassis provides a snug, performance-oriented feel.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the OrthoLite sockliner is removable and can be replaced with custom orthotics if required.
Troubleshooting
Quicklace feels loose during activity
Ensure the lock toggle is fully clicked into place and the lace is pulled taut before securing it.
Foot feels hot inside the shoe
Ensure you are using moisture-wicking synthetic or merino wool socks rather than cotton, which traps heat and moisture.
Exterior looks dusty or dirty
Gently clean with a damp cloth or soft brush; avoid submerging in a washing machine to maintain material integrity.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your XT-4s last, follow these guidelines:
- Fit: Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks for your activity level. The shoe should feel secure around the midfoot.
- Lacing: Tighten the `Quicklace` by pulling the cord and sliding the lock toggle down towards the tongue; store the excess lace in the dedicated lace pocket to avoid snagging.
- Cleaning: Wipe away mud and debris with a soft, damp brush after use. Avoid using harsh detergents or heavy scrubbing that could compromise the GORE-TEX membrane.
- Drying: Air dry the shoes naturally. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators, as this can warp the EVA midsole or damage the waterproof lining.
