FAQs
Are the Salomon XT-4 OG Trainers suitable for running marathons?
The XT-4 OG Trainers are designed with trail performance features but are primarily intended for everyday urban use and light outdoor activities. For marathon running, a shoe specifically designed for road running would likely offer better performance and cushioning.
How do I adjust the fit with the Quicklace™ system?
To tighten, pull the lace lock upwards and slide it down. To loosen, press the button on the lace lock. The system allows for quick, one-handed adjustments.
What is the drop on the Salomon XT-4 OG Trainers?
The trainers have a 6 mm drop, which is a moderate heel-to-toe differential suitable for many users.
Can I wear these trainers in the rain?
The Contagrip® outsole offers good traction on various surfaces, including wet ones. However, the mesh upper is breathable and not fully waterproof, so prolonged exposure to heavy rain may lead to dampness inside the shoe.
What is the primary material of the upper?
The upper is primarily made of synthetic materials and a dirt-blocking mesh.
How should I clean the OrthoLite® insole?
The insole can typically be removed and cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap. Allow it to air dry completely before reinserting it into the shoe.
What does 'OG' signify in the product name?
'OG' typically stands for 'Original' or 'Original Gangster,' indicating that this model is a return or re-release of a classic, proven design.
Troubleshooting
Laces won't tighten securely.
Ensure the Quicklace™ cord is properly threaded through the lock mechanism. Try re-threading if necessary. Check that the lace pocket is not preventing the lock from engaging fully.
Discomfort or rubbing after initial wear.
The trainers may require a break-in period. Wear them for shorter durations initially and gradually increase wear time. Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks.
Traction feels reduced on wet surfaces.
Clean the Contagrip® outsole to remove any mud or debris that may be hindering grip. Inspect the outsole for excessive wear; if worn down, replacement may be necessary.
Mesh upper allows in small debris.
While designed to block dirt, very fine particles might still enter. Ensure the tongue guard is properly positioned. Regularly clean the mesh to maintain its integrity.
