FAQs
Is the XT-4 OG suitable for everyday wear?
While the XT-4 OG offers comfort, its design is optimized for trail running performance. For everyday casual wear, other footwear might be more suitable, though they can be worn casually if preferred.
How do I adjust the Quicklace system if it's too tight?
To loosen the Quicklace system, simply pull up on the release tab located on the tongue of the shoe.
What is the main difference between the XT-4 OG and the XT-6?
The XT-4 OG is the ancestor of the XT-6. While both share performance DNA, the XT-6 is a later evolution with some material and design updates based on feedback and advancements since the XT-4's initial release.
Can I replace the OrthoLite sockliner?
Yes, the OrthoLite sockliner is removable and can be replaced with custom orthotics or a new sockliner if needed.
What type of terrain is the Mud Contagrip best suited for?
The Mud Contagrip outsole is specifically designed for maximum grip on soft, loose, and muddy surfaces. It also performs well on mixed terrain.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe when standing. The heel should feel secure without slipping, and the midfoot should be snug but not tight.
Troubleshooting
Laces not tightening securely
Ensure the Quicklace tab is fully engaged and the laces are pulled evenly. Check for any debris obstructing the lace channel.
Discomfort or rubbing
Adjust the tightness of the Quicklace system. Consider wearing thicker or different socks. If the issue persists, the shoe may not be the correct fit for your foot shape.
Reduced grip on wet surfaces
Clean the Mud Contagrip outsole to remove any packed mud or debris. For extremely slick surfaces, proceed with caution as no outsole guarantees perfect traction in all conditions.
Mesh becoming clogged with mud
Rinse the shoes thoroughly with water after use. Allow them to dry completely before storing to prevent material degradation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Salomon XT-4 OG requires no complex setup. The primary adjustment comes from the Quicklace system. To tighten, pull the laces upwards; to loosen, use the release tab. Ensure the laces are snug but not constricting for optimal comfort and performance.
Compatibility: These trainers are designed for trail running and general outdoor activities. They are compatible with various sock types, with moisture-wicking materials recommended for athletic use. They are not designed for road running or highly technical climbing.
Care: To maintain the XT-4 OG's performance and lifespan:
- Cleaning: After use, remove loose dirt and mud with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use cool water and mild soap. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
