Salomon XT-4 OG - Red, Black

While comfortable, the XT-4 OG is optimized for trail performance. Its aggressive tread and specific materials might be overkill for casual city walking, but they can certainly be worn for urban use if comfort and a robust design are prioritized.

The XT-4 OG was released earlier than the XT-6 and shares many foundational technologies. The XT-4 OG is considered the ancestor of the XT-6, offering similar performance but with design nuances reflective of its original 2012 release.

Anti-debris mesh is a tightly woven material designed to prevent small stones, dirt, and other trail debris from entering the shoe while still allowing for breathability.

To tighten, pull the laces firmly upwards. To loosen, pull the lace end tab. The small plastic lock secures the tension.

The Agile Chassis Skeleton is an internal frame within the sole that provides stability, support, and control, especially on uneven or challenging terrain, helping to guide the foot.

It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers, as it can damage the materials and adhesives. Hand washing with a soft brush and cool water is the preferred cleaning method.

The Mud Contagrip outsole is designed for excellent traction on various surfaces, including wet and muddy conditions. While it offers strong grip, performance on polished wet rocks can vary depending on the specific rock type and condition.

Ensure the lace is properly threaded through the lock. If the lace is frayed or worn, it may need replacement. Check that the lace lock is fully engaged.

Clean the Mud Contagrip outsole thoroughly to remove any embedded mud or debris that might be hindering grip. Ensure the rubber compound has not worn down significantly.

Adjust the Quicklace tension for a more personalized fit. Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. Consider if the shoe size is correct for your foot.

Use a soft brush and mild soap with cool water. Gently scrub the mesh, then rinse thoroughly. Allow to air dry completely.
