FAQs

What activities are the Salomon XT-4 OG Black shoes best suited for?

These shoes are versatile and well-suited for athletic activities like light trail running, walking, and general outdoor use, as well as for everyday casual wear and streetwear.

How does the Quicklace system work?

The Quicklace system is a single-pull lacing mechanism. To tighten, simply pull the lace end until the shoe fits snugly, then secure the toggle. To loosen, press the button on the toggle and pull the laces outwards.

Are these shoes durable?

Yes, the Salomon XT-4 OG features a combination of strong, abrasion-resistant TPU material and synthetic uppers, designed for high durability and longevity.

What is Contagrip?

Contagrip is a proprietary outsole technology by Salomon, designed to provide superior grip and durability on a wide range of surfaces, wet or dry.

What is the Agile Chassis System (ACS)?

The Agile Chassis System (ACS) is a full-length component integrated into the shoe's sole unit that works to enhance stability and provide support, especially during dynamic movements on varied terrain.

How should I clean my Salomon XT-4 OG shoes?

Clean your shoes by removing loose dirt with a brush. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap with lukewarm water and a soft cloth or sponge. Allow them to air dry naturally, away from direct heat.

Are these shoes breathable?

Yes, the uppers incorporate breathable mesh material designed to provide optimal ventilation, helping to keep your feet cool and comfortable.

Troubleshooting

Quicklace system feels too tight or too loose.

Adjust the Quicklace system by pulling the lace end for a tighter fit or pressing the clip to loosen. Ensure the lace is evenly distributed across the foot before securing.

Shoes feel less stable on uneven surfaces.

Ensure the Quicklace system is tightened appropriately for a snug fit. The full-length Agile Chassis System (ACS) provides stability, but a proper fit is crucial for optimal performance. Check for any debris caught in the outsole tread that might affect traction.

Feet feel hot or sweaty during wear.

The shoe features breathable mesh, but ensure you are wearing appropriate socks that wick moisture. If the issue persists, consider whether the activity level or environmental conditions are suitable for this shoe's ventilation.

Outsole seems to be losing traction.

Clean the Contagrip outsole thoroughly to remove any embedded dirt, mud, or debris. Accumulated grime can reduce the effectiveness of the tread pattern.

Care

Proper care will extend the lifespan of your XT-4 OG shoes:

  1. Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap (like dish soap) and lukewarm water with a soft cloth or sponge. Gently scrub the upper, sole, and interior. Avoid harsh chemicals.
  2. Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hair dryers, as this can damage materials.
  3. Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
  4. Lacing System: Periodically check the Quicklace system for any debris or wear. Clean as needed.
