FAQs
What is the main advantage of the XT-4 OG over other trail shoes?
The XT-4 OG's primary advantage is its exceptional grip on challenging, muddy, and loose terrain, combined with robust support and durability for demanding outdoor use.
Can I wear the Salomon XT-4 OG for everyday walking?
While comfortable, the XT-4 OG is a high-performance trail shoe with aggressive traction and support. It may feel overly stiff or aggressive for casual, flat-surface walking.
How do I maintain the anti-debris mesh?
After use, gently brush off any dried mud or debris. If needed, wipe with a damp cloth. Avoid forcing debris into the mesh.
What is the difference between XT-4 OG and XT-6?
The XT-4 OG is the predecessor to the XT-6, launched earlier. While sharing many performance features, the XT-6 is a later iteration and might include more refined materials or design updates based on user feedback.
Are these shoes waterproof?
The XT-4 OG is designed for breathability and quick drainage, not waterproofing. While the mesh offers some resistance to light moisture, they are not intended to keep feet dry in deep water or heavy rain.
What kind of socks are best with these trainers?
Moisture-wicking synthetic or wool blend socks are recommended to complement the shoe's performance and keep your feet comfortable during activity.
Troubleshooting
Laces won't tighten securely
Ensure the Quicklace™ mechanism is clean and free of debris. Check if the lace is frayed or damaged. If so, the lace system may need replacement.
Discomfort on the arch
The Ortholite® insole offers firm support. Try wearing thicker or different socks. If discomfort persists, consider if the shoe's support profile matches your foot type.
Slipping on wet surfaces
While the Mud Contagrip® offers excellent grip, extremely slick surfaces can still pose a challenge. Ensure the outsole is clean; mud packed into the lugs can reduce effectiveness.
Excessive wear on the outsole
The Mud Contagrip® is optimized for soft ground. Frequent use on hard surfaces like asphalt will accelerate wear. Use the shoes primarily for their intended terrain.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Quicklace™ system allows for a fast and precise fit. Ensure the laces are tightened evenly for optimal comfort and support. The excess lace can be tucked into the lace pocket on the tongue.
Compatibility: These trainers are designed for adult males and are best suited for trail running, hiking, and other outdoor activities. They are compatible with various sock types, though moisture-wicking socks are recommended for performance.
Care: To clean, remove loose dirt with a brush. Use a damp cloth with mild soap to wipe down the upper and midsole. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents. Allow the shoes to air dry completely away from direct heat. Ensure the anti-debris mesh is clear of debris after each use.
