FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
The XT-4 Advanced is designed for breathability and performance across varied terrains, but it is not explicitly labeled as waterproof.
Can I use these for long-distance trail running?
While capable of handling trails, they are designed as hiking shoes and are more structured than dedicated ultralight running shoes.
How do I determine the right size?
Salomon sizing is generally standard; however, it is recommended to measure your feet in the afternoon when they are slightly swollen to ensure the best fit.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The fit is generally performance-oriented and snug. If you have particularly wide feet, you may consider trying a half-size up.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the provided insoles are removable and can be replaced with custom orthotics or aftermarket insoles if needed.
Troubleshooting
Foot feels sliding or unstable inside the shoe
Adjust the lacing system to ensure a tighter, more customized wrap around the midfoot and check that you are using an appropriately sized sock.
Dirt buildup in the outsole lugs affecting grip
Use a stiff-bristled brush to dislodge packed mud and gravel after every use to maintain optimal traction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your XT-4 Advanced shoes last as long as possible, follow these guidelines:
- Breaking In: Wear your new shoes for shorter periods or around the house for the first few days to allow the upper materials to adapt to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush after every hike. If they become muddy, wipe them down with a damp cloth and mild soap; avoid submerging them in water or using harsh detergents.
- Drying: Always air dry at room temperature away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can cause materials to warp or crack.
- Storage: Keep them in a cool, dry place to maintain the integrity of the cushioning and structural components.
