FAQs
Are the Salomon XT-4 OG shoes waterproof?
These shoes are built with highly breathable technical fabrics for performance, but they are not categorized as fully waterproof.
Can I use these for marathon running?
While durable and supportive, they are generally designed for trail and general performance rather than road marathon racing.
How do I determine my size?
Salomon sizing is generally standard; it is recommended to select the same size you typically wear in other performance athletic trainers.
Does the black colorway fade easily?
The materials used are high quality and colorfast; however, direct and prolonged exposure to UV light should be avoided to maintain the deep black finish.
Is the lacing system replaceable?
Yes, the Salomon Quicklace system is modular and can be replaced if the cord wears out over time.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The XT-4 OG typically provides a secure, performance-oriented fit. Those with wider feet may find the midfoot structure snug.
Troubleshooting
Laces feel loose or inconsistent
Ensure the lace-locking toggle is fully engaged and the slack is pulled through the entire lacing path before tightening.
Material stiffness causing discomfort
Increase the time spent wearing the shoes indoors for short durations to allow the materials to soften and contour to your foot.
Build-up of debris in the tread
Use a specialized boot brush or a dull tool to gently remove compacted mud or gravel from the outsole lugs to restore traction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Salomon XT-4 OG trainers, follow these guidelines:
- Fitting: Ensure you are wearing appropriate athletic socks for an accurate fit. The shoe is designed to provide a snug, secure wrap around the midfoot.
- Break-in: Wear the shoes for shorter periods initially to allow the structural elements to adapt to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft-bristled brush after use. If deeper cleaning is required, use lukewarm water and a mild detergent. Avoid machine washing, which can degrade the adhesive and technical fabrics.
- Drying: Air dry the shoes naturally in a shaded, well-ventilated area. Keep them away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can cause materials to warp or crack.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place to prevent moisture buildup within the internal lining.
