FAQs

Are these shoes waterproof?

The Salomon XT-4 OG features a durable textile upper which offers some resistance to splashes and light moisture, but they are not fully waterproof. For very wet conditions, consider pairing with waterproof socks or looking for a GORE-TEX version if available.

What is the recommended use for these sneakers?

These sneakers are versatile, designed for both urban and outdoor adventures, including trail running, hiking, walking, and general active wear, offering stability and comfort across varied terrains.

How do I choose the correct size?

The XT-4 OG features a roomier metatarsal fit. It is generally recommended to try them on to ensure the best fit. If purchasing online, consult Salomon's official sizing chart and measure your foot length, allowing for space at the front for toe splay.

Can I machine wash these shoes?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials and adhesives. Please refer to the 'Care Instructions' section for the recommended cleaning method using mild soap and cold water.

What is the Agile Chassis System (ACS)?

The Agile Chassis System is a full-length skeletal component integrated into the shoe's design, providing enhanced stability and support, especially on uneven ground, ensuring a secure and controlled stride.

How often should I clean the outsole?

It's good practice to remove loose dirt from the outsole after each use, especially if you've been on trails. A more thorough cleaning can be done as needed, or when you notice a build-up of grime that might affect grip.

Troubleshooting

Foot discomfort or rubbing during long wear

Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. The XT-4 OG features a roomier metatarsal fit, but individual foot shapes vary. Consider trying different lacing techniques to adjust pressure points. Gradually break in new shoes with shorter wear times before extended use.

Reduced grip on wet or slippery surfaces

While the All Terrain Contragrip Outsole offers reliable grip, no shoe is entirely slip-proof. Check the outsole for excessive wear or embedded debris. Clean the outsole regularly to ensure maximum tread contact. Adjust your stride and be cautious on extremely slick surfaces.

Shoes develop an odor

Ensure shoes are fully aired out and dry after each use. Remove and wash the OrthoLite sockliners periodically with mild soap and water. Consider using odor-absorbing inserts or sprays designed for athletic footwear if the issue persists.

Care Instructions

To ensure the longevity and performance of your XT-4 OG sneakers:
