Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Salomon XT-4 OG GTX trainers, proper maintenance is essential. When you first receive the shoes, ensure you are wearing the appropriate socks for your activity to test the sizing. If the shoes become dirty, avoid machine washing, which can damage the GORE-TEX membrane. Instead, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dried mud and a damp cloth with mild soap for surface stains. Store the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. If the interior gets wet, air-dry them naturally by removing the insoles and stuffing the shoes with newspaper; avoid placing them directly on heaters or near radiators as intense heat can compromise the adhesive and material integrity.
