Product Information
Full details
The Salomon XT-4 OG GTX is a versatile trainer designed for adults who need a blend of high-performance trail technology and urban style. By incorporating a waterproof GORE-TEX membrane into its classic archival silhouette, these shoes provide exceptional protection against the elements, making them ideal for unpredictable weather. While the shoe offers superior durability and a secure fit, new users should be aware that the aggressive trail-inspired sole may feel stiffer than standard casual sneakers during the initial break-in period.

FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, they generally fit true to standard adult sizing, though the structure of the shoe may feel more snug than a traditional knit runner.
Can I wear these for long-distance running?
While based on trail-running technology, they are best suited for hiking, walking, and daily wear rather than high-mileage road running.
Is the GORE-TEX lining breathable?
Yes, GORE-TEX is designed to allow water vapor to escape while preventing liquid water from entering, helping to manage moisture during activity.
How do I clean the mesh upper?
Use a soft brush to remove dry dirt, then wipe with a damp cloth. Do not soak the shoes or use high-heat dryers.
Is this shoe unisex?
Yes, the XT-4 OG GTX is designed as a unisex product, fitting a wide range of foot shapes.
Troubleshooting
Laces feel too tight or dig into the instep
Loosen the quick-lace system and ensure the tongue is centered properly before retightening.
Water seems to be entering the shoe during heavy rain
Check that your socks are not wicking moisture down from your pant legs and confirm the inner liner is free from debris that could break the seal.
The sole feels stiff or uncomfortable
Wear the shoes for short intervals indoors to allow the midsole compounds to soften and adapt to your foot's natural flexion.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Proper care for your XT-4 OG GTX will extend its lifespan. For initial setup, ensure the laces are adjusted to your preferred tension; the quick-lace system should be tightened to secure the midfoot without restricting circulation. When the shoes become muddy or dirty, avoid using harsh detergents or a washing machine, as these can compromise the waterproof GORE-TEX membrane. Instead, use a soft-bristle brush and lukewarm water to scrub away debris. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can warp the materials. For long-term storage, keep the shoes in a cool, dry place to prevent mildew growth on the outer fabrics.
