FAQs

Are these shoes waterproof?

The Salomon XT-4 OG features a Textile Upper which provides breathability and durability. While it offers some protection against light moisture, it is not fully waterproof. For complete waterproofness, look for models specifically featuring GORE-TEX or similar waterproof membranes.

How do I choose the correct size?

These shoes are listed in UK sizing. It's recommended to measure your foot length and compare it to Salomon's official size chart. The XT-4 OG has a roomier metatarsal fit, so if you're between sizes, consider your preference for fit (tighter vs. more spacious) and the type of socks you typically wear.

Can I use these for running?

The XT-4 OG is designed for versatile use, including urban exploration and various outdoor activities. While it offers excellent cushioning and stability suitable for light jogging or trail running, for dedicated, high-intensity running, especially on technical trails, specialized running shoes might offer more specific support and performance features.

What is the 'Agile Chassis System'?

The Agile Chassis System (ACS) is a full-length skeletal component integrated into the shoe's sole unit. Its purpose is to provide enhanced stability and motion control, particularly on uneven terrain, ensuring a more secure and guided stride.

How should I clean the OrthoLite sockliners?

OrthoLite sockliners can be removed and hand washed with mild soap and cold water. Gently scrub them with a soft brush, rinse thoroughly, and allow them to air dry completely before placing them back into your shoes. This helps maintain hygiene and extends their lifespan.

Are these shoes suitable for all seasons?

With their Textile Upper and All Terrain Contagrip Outsole, the XT-4 OG performs well in most seasons. For colder, wet conditions, pairing them with appropriate waterproof socks is advisable due to their non-waterproof upper. In hot weather, the breathability of the textile upper helps keep feet comfortable.

Troubleshooting

Feet feel uncomfortable after long wear, despite 'roomier fit'.

Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks for the activity. While the metatarsal fit is roomier, personal foot shape and sock thickness can influence comfort. Also, verify you have the correct size. Consider different lacing techniques to adjust pressure points.

Shoes feel less stable on very technical or uneven terrain.

While the Agile Chassis System provides strong stabilization for diverse activities, extremely aggressive or technical terrains might require footwear with a more rigid sole or higher ankle support. Re-evaluate if the XT-4 OG is the ideal shoe for the specific, extreme conditions you are encountering.

Outsole grip seems to diminish on certain surfaces.

Check the All Terrain Contagrip Outsole for any embedded debris (small stones, mud) that might be reducing traction. Ensure the outsoles are clean. If wear is significant, particularly on the lugs, it might indicate the shoe is reaching the end of its effective lifespan for high-traction activities.

Shoes develop an unpleasant odor.

Remove the OrthoLite Sockliners and allow them to air out completely. You can hand wash the sockliners with mild soap and water. For the shoes themselves, ensure they are fully dried after each use and consider using shoe deodorizers or placing baking soda sachets inside when not in use.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Versatile design suitable for both urban and outdoor environments
  • Enhanced stability and support for a confident stride
  • Superior comfort for long-distance wear due to roomier fit and cushioning
  • Durable construction ensures longevity and performance
  • Excellent traction on various surfaces (wet, dry, hard, loose)

Cons

  • Specific aesthetic may not appeal to all preferences
  • Roomier metatarsal fit, while comfortable, might not suit those preferring a very narrow, snug fit for certain precision activities
  • Textile upper may not offer the same water resistance as specialized waterproof materials

Setup and First Use Simply unlace the Salomon XT-4 OG sneakers, slide your foot in, and adjust the lacing system for a secure, comfortable fit. Ensure your heel is seated firmly in the heel cup. A snug, but not overly tight, fit is recommended for optimal performance and comfort. ### Compatibility These sneakers are designed for adults of all genders, offering a versatile fit for UK size 7. The unisex design and robust features make them suitable for a wide range of users and foot types, especially those who appreciate a roomier fit in the forefoot. ### Care and Maintenance Proper care will extend the life of your XT-4 OG sneakers: 1. Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap and cold water solution with a cloth or soft brush to gently scrub the textile upper and outsole. Rinse with clean water. Do not use harsh chemicals or machine wash. 2. Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or artificial heat sources, as this can damage materials. You can stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and maintain shape. 3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. 4. Odour Control: If odours occur, remove the OrthoLite sockliners and air them out. You can also use shoe deodorizers or baking soda. Regularly cleaning the sockliners will also help.
