FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

Yes, the Salomon XT-4 OG trainers are built with trail-running technology, offering stability, cushioning, and grip suitable for running on varied terrain.

How do I clean the Quicklace system?

You can wipe the Quicklace system with a damp cloth. Ensure no debris gets trapped in the mechanism.

What is the primary benefit of the Agile Chassis System?

The Agile Chassis System provides enhanced stability and energy return, helping to cushion the foot and support natural movement during dynamic activities.

Can I wear these trainers in the rain?

The upper is water-resistant, offering protection against light rain and splashes. However, they are not fully waterproof and may not be suitable for prolonged heavy rain or submersion.

What does 'Gorpcore' styling refer to?

'Gorpcore' is a fashion trend that blends technical outdoor clothing and gear with everyday wear, emphasizing functionality and a rugged aesthetic. The XT-4 OG trainers fit well within this style.

How do I ensure the best fit?

Salomon recommends standard sizing for these trainers. It's advisable to consult a sizing chart and consider trying them on if possible, adjusting the Quicklace system for a secure yet comfortable fit.

What material is the upper made of?

The upper is constructed from a combination of breathable nylon mesh and a durable, abrasion-resistant TPU film.

Troubleshooting

Laces won't tighten or loosen properly

Ensure the Quicklace mechanism is clear of debris. Gently pull the toggles while ensuring the laces are not tangled. If the issue persists, check for damage to the lace or the mechanism.

Discomfort or pressure points during wear

Verify you have selected the correct size and that the Quicklace system is adjusted for a snug, but not overly tight, fit. The Ortho Lite sockliner can sometimes be replaced with an aftermarket insole if custom support is needed.

Reduced grip on wet surfaces

Ensure the Contagrip outsole is clean and free from mud or debris. While designed for grip, performance can be affected by extremely slick surfaces or wear and tear over time.

Water seeping into the shoe

While the upper is water-resistant, it is not fully waterproof. Heavy submersion or prolonged exposure to significant water ingress may occur. Ensure all seams and the upper material are intact.

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Salomon XT-4 OG trainers are designed for immediate use. The primary setup involves adjusting the Quicklace system to your preferred tightness. Simply pull the laces tight until the shoe fits snugly, then tuck the excess lace into the lace garage on the tongue.

Compatibility: These trainers are unisex and recommended for standard sizing. They are compatible with a wide range of outdoor activities and casual wear. For optimal performance on technical terrain, ensure the footwear is appropriate for the specific conditions.

Care:

  1. Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft brush or cloth with mild soap and cool water to gently clean the nylon mesh and TPU elements. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  2. Cleaning the Midsole and Outsole: Wipe down the EVA midsole and Contagrip outsole with a damp cloth.
  3. Drying: Allow the trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources such as radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials.
  4. Laces: The Quicklace system can be wiped clean with a damp cloth.
