FAQs
Are the Salomon XT-4 OG Trainers waterproof?
The standard XT-4 OG Trainers are water-resistant but not fully waterproof. For enhanced waterproofing, consider models with GORE-TEX technology.
How do I adjust the fit of the Quicklace™ system?
To tighten, pull the laces evenly. To loosen, lift the toggle and pull the laces. Ensure the excess lace is tucked into the lace garage to prevent snagging.
What is the difference between XT-4 and XT-6 models?
While both offer excellent performance, the XT-4 is known for its stability and cushioning, making it ideal for longer distances and varied terrain. The XT-6 often features a slightly different design and focus, sometimes prioritizing a balance between agility and protection.
Can I use these trainers for everyday walking?
Yes, the XT-4 OG Trainers are very comfortable and durable, making them suitable for everyday walking and urban exploration in addition to trail use.
What type of socks are best with these trainers?
Performance athletic socks made from moisture-wicking materials like merino wool or synthetic blends are recommended for optimal comfort and to prevent blisters.
How should I store my Salomon XT-4 trainers when not in use?
Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure they are clean and dry before storage to prevent odor and material degradation.
Troubleshooting
Laces won't stay tight
Ensure the knot on the Quicklace™ system is tied securely. If the lace itself is worn, it may need replacement.
Discomfort or rubbing
Verify you have the correct size and width. Ensure socks are appropriate and not bunched up. Break in the shoes gradually with shorter wear periods.
Reduced grip on wet surfaces
The Contagrip® outsole provides excellent traction, but extremely slick surfaces can challenge any footwear. Clean the outsole of mud or debris for optimal grip. Consider alternative footwear for excessively wet or icy conditions.
Upper material appears dirty or stained
Spot clean gently with a damp cloth and mild soap. For stubborn stains, consult the product care label for specific recommendations. Test cleaning solutions on an inconspicuous area first.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: The Salomon XT-4 OG Trainers are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure you have selected the correct size for optimal comfort and performance. Adjust the Quicklace™ system for a secure and personalized fit by tightening or loosening the laces as needed.
Compatibility: These trainers are designed for adult unisex use. They are compatible with standard athletic socks. While built for varied terrain, they are not specifically designed for extreme winter conditions or highly specialized sports requiring unique footwear.
