FAQs
What is the primary purpose of the Salomon XT-4 OG?
The Salomon XT-4 OG is designed as a lifestyle and light performance shoe, ideal for urban exploration and casual wear, offering a blend of style and stability.
How does the Agile Chassis Skeleton contribute to the shoe?
The Agile Chassis Skeleton provides enhanced stability and support, particularly on uneven or varied surfaces, ensuring a secure stride.
Are these shoes suitable for technical trail running?
While they offer good stability, the XT-4 OG is not specifically designed for highly technical or extreme trail running. They are best suited for lighter trails and general outdoor use.
How do I clean the gradient mesh upper?
Gently clean the mesh with a soft brush or damp cloth and cool water. Avoid abrasive cleaners to preserve the gradient effect and material integrity.
What do the 'LDN' and 'PAR' markings signify?
These markings on the toe branding pay homage to the Footpatrol store locations in London ('LDN') and Paris ('PAR'), celebrating the collaboration.
Is the sizing true to size?
It is recommended to consult the Salomon sizing guide or try them on if possible, as fit can vary between individuals and shoe models.
What is the material composition of the upper?
The upper is constructed from a symmetrical gradient mesh with alternating black and white TPU overlays for structure and durability.
Troubleshooting
Laces won't tighten or loosen properly with Quicklace system.
Ensure the toggle mechanism is clean and free of debris. Try gently wiggling the toggle to release any stuck points. If the lace itself is frayed, it may need replacement.
Discomfort or rubbing during wear.
Adjust the Quicklace system for a more personalized fit. Ensure socks are appropriate for the shoe type. Break in the shoes gradually by wearing them for shorter periods initially.
Excessive dirt on the mesh upper.
Use a soft brush and cool water to gently scrub the affected area. For tougher stains, a mild soap can be used sparingly, followed by thorough rinsing with a damp cloth. Always air dry.
Slight squeaking noise from the sole.
This can sometimes occur due to newness or moisture. Try wearing the shoes for a while to see if it subsides. Ensure the outsole is clean and dry.
