FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
Yes, the XT-4 Og GTX features a Gore-Tex (GTX) membrane that provides effective waterproof and breathable protection.
Are these suitable for running?
While they are high-performance trainers, they are built for stability and technical terrain rather than road running speed.
How do I find my size?
These trainers are listed in UK sizing. It is recommended to compare with your current Salomon fit or standard athletic footwear sizing.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the protective coatings and the structural integrity of the shoe. Hand cleaning is recommended.
What surfaces are they best for?
They perform best on mixed terrain, including gravel, mud, rocky trails, and paved surfaces.
Troubleshooting
Material feels stiff during first use
This is normal for technical footwear. Wear them for short walks over several days to allow the upper materials to soften.
Reduced water protection over time
Dirt buildup can block the pores of the Gore-Tex membrane. Clean the exterior thoroughly to restore breathability and performance.
Accumulation of moisture inside
If the shoes feel damp, ensure you are wearing moisture-wicking socks. The Gore-Tex material works best when sweat can effectively escape through the fabric.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your XT-4 Og GTX trainers last, follow these guidelines:
- Break-in: Wear the shoes indoors for short periods before long treks to allow the material to conform to your feet.
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush after each use. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth and mild soap; avoid submerging in water or using harsh detergents.
- Drying: Always air dry at room temperature. Never place them near direct heat sources like radiators, as this can degrade the waterproof membrane and adhesives.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
