FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for serious hiking?
The Salomon Xt-4 OG are inspired by trail running but are optimized for urban use. For serious, technical hiking, dedicated hiking boots are recommended. However, they are excellent for light trails, park paths, and everyday wear.
How do I clean the multicolor synthetic upper?
Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt. For stains, gently wipe with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Rinse with a clean damp cloth and allow to air dry completely.
What is the benefit of the Agile Chassis System?
The Agile Chassis System provides stability and support for your foot, helping to guide it naturally through the stride while maintaining flexibility and comfort.
Can I replace the Quicklace™ system if it breaks?
Yes, replacement Quicklace™ kits are available for Salomon footwear. You can typically find these online or at authorized Salomon retailers.
How does the 6mm drop affect performance?
A 6mm drop is considered a moderate drop, offering a good balance between ground feel and cushioning. It's suitable for a wide range of activities and foot strikes.
What does 'OG' in Xt-4 OG stand for?
'OG' typically stands for 'Original', indicating that this model is a re-release or a faithful rendition of an earlier, classic design.
Are these shoes waterproof?
The Xt-4 OG Trainers feature a mesh and synthetic upper designed for breathability and quick drying, not full waterproofing. They offer some resistance to light moisture but are not suitable for heavy rain or submersion.
Troubleshooting
Laces not tightening securely
Ensure the Quicklace™ tab is fully engaged. Check the lace channel for any debris that might be obstructing the mechanism. If laces are frayed, consider replacing them.
Discomfort or rubbing
Break in the shoes gradually. Ensure the correct size is being worn. Adjust the Quicklace™ tension for a snug but not overly tight fit. Check for any internal seams or objects causing irritation.
Traction reduced on wet surfaces
Clean the Contagrip® outsole to remove any mud or debris that may be compromising grip. Ensure the shoe is properly dried after cleaning, as dampness can affect performance.
Mesh upper feels less breathable
Clean the mesh with a damp cloth and mild soap. Ensure the sockliner is clean and dry. Allow shoes to air out regularly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Salomon Xt-4 OG Trainers feature the Quicklace™ system. To tighten, pull the laces upwards; to loosen, use the release tab. Tuck excess laces into the lace pocket located on the tongue to prevent snagging.
Compatibility: These trainers are designed for adult unisex wear. They are compatible with a wide range of casual wear and athletic-inspired outfits. While not intended for highly technical mountain running, they are suitable for general athletic activities and everyday walking.
Care: To maintain the appearance and performance of your Xt-4 OG Trainers:
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap and water. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can damage the materials.
- Insoles: The OrthoLite® sockliner can often be removed for separate cleaning or airing out. Follow the same gentle cleaning method as the shoe's upper.
