FAQs
What is the primary intended use for the Salomon XT-4 OG?
The Salomon XT-4 OG is primarily designed for trail running and outdoor activities that involve varied and challenging terrain, offering excellent grip and support.
How do I adjust the Quicklace system?
The Quicklace system allows for one-pull tightening. Simply pull the laces up with the toggle to secure the fit. To loosen, pull the toggle again and slide it down.
Are these shoes waterproof?
The XT-4 OG features an anti-debris mesh upper which is designed for breathability and protection, not waterproofing. They are water-resistant to a degree but will not keep feet dry in prolonged wet conditions.
What is the difference between the XT-4 OG and the XT-6?
The XT-4 OG, incepted in 2012, is considered the ancestor of the XT-6 lineage. While both offer high performance, the OG represents an earlier iteration with specific design elements that evolved into the later XT-6 model.
Can I replace the Ortholite sockliner?
Yes, the Ortholite sockliner is removable and can be replaced with custom orthotics or alternative insoles if needed, provided they are of a similar size and shape.
How often should I clean my XT-4 OG trainers?
It's recommended to clean them after particularly muddy or dirty use to maintain material integrity and performance. Regular brushing of the upper and outsole after general use is also beneficial.
What materials are the trainers made of?
The upper is constructed from anti-debris mesh with abrasion-resistant TPU overlays, and the sole is made of Contagrip rubber.
Troubleshooting
Laces not tightening securely
Ensure the Quicklace toggle is fully engaged and the excess lace is properly tucked. If the lace system appears damaged, contact customer support.
Discomfort or rubbing
Ensure you have the correct size and width. Try wearing different types of socks or adjusting the lace tension. If discomfort persists, the shoe's fit may not be suitable for your foot shape.
Reduced grip on surfaces
Clean the Mud Contagrip outsole thoroughly to remove any packed mud or debris that might be hindering traction. Inspect the lugs for excessive wear.
Mesh seems to be letting in excessive debris
While designed to keep out larger particles, fine dust may still enter. Ensure laces are fully tightened to close any gaps around the tongue. Regular cleaning of the mesh can also help maintain its integrity.

Compatibility: These trainers are designed for adult male wearers and are best suited for trail running, hiking, and other outdoor activities on varied terrain. They are compatible with most standard athletic socks.
Care: To maintain the performance and longevity of your XT-4 OG trainers:
- Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft brush or a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris from the mesh and TPU overlays. Avoid harsh detergents.
