FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard adult sizing. If you plan on wearing thick hiking socks, some users prefer a half-size larger.
Can I remove the insoles?
Yes, the OrthoLite sockliners are removable if you wish to use custom orthotic inserts.
Is the GORE-TEX membrane breathable?
It is designed to be breathable, but as a waterproof barrier, it will naturally have less airflow than non-waterproof mesh sneakers.
How do I replace the laces?
The Speed Lacing system is proprietary to Salomon. You can purchase replacement kits if the cord wears out over time.
Are these suitable for long-distance road running?
They are designed primarily as trail shoes. While they can handle paved surfaces, they may feel firmer than dedicated road running trainers.
Troubleshooting
Laces feel too tight across the top of the foot
Loosen the tension by pulling the lace loops outward individually starting from the bottom of the eyelet row before tightening the main toggle.
Water entering from the top during heavy rain
The shoe is waterproof, but the ankle collar is open; ensure your pant cuffs cover the opening to prevent water ingress.
Sole feels slippery on smooth indoor surfaces
The Contagrip compound is optimized for outdoor traction; simply wipe the outsoles with a damp cloth to remove dust buildup.
Pros and Cons

- Secure and quick-adjusting Speed Lacing system
- Highly durable construction suitable for trail and urban use

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Salomon XT-4 trainers, pull the Speed Lacing system evenly to distribute pressure across the top of your foot and tuck the loose end into the designated lace pocket located on the tongue.
For care, remove the OrthoLite sockliner after particularly muddy outings to let it air dry separately. To clean the exterior, use a soft-bristled brush and mild soap to remove debris from the lugs of the Contagrip sole. Do not machine wash or tumble dry, as high heat can damage the waterproof membrane and adhesive bonds. If the shoes are soaked, stuff them with newspaper and allow them to air dry in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources.
