FAQs
Are these shoes truly waterproof?
Yes, the XT-4 OG GTX includes a GORE-TEX membrane, which is designed to be fully waterproof while allowing moisture vapor to escape.
Can I use these for marathon running?
Yes, their stable chassis and cushioning system are designed for long-distance activity, though individual comfort preferences vary.
How do I ensure the correct size?
Salomon trainers generally follow standard sizing. We recommend checking your foot length against a size chart if you are between sizes.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The XT-4 series features a performance-oriented fit which is generally standard width. Those with wider feet may find them snug.
How often should I clean the GORE-TEX membrane?
Cleaning should be done as needed, especially after heavy exposure to mud or salt, to ensure the membrane remains breathable.
Troubleshooting
Foot feels slightly too tight initially
The shoe structure is designed for stability; ensure the laces are adjusted correctly and wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow the material to adapt to your foot shape.
Outer sole traction feels reduced
Check the tread pattern for trapped debris or dried mud. Clean the sole thoroughly with a stiff brush to restore grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Salomon XT-4 OG GTX trainers last, proper care is essential.
Setup & Fit: The shoes feature a precision fit. We recommend wearing the socks you typically use for outdoor activities to gauge the correct fit. Ensure your heel feels secure without excessive pressure.
Maintenance:
- Cleaning: After muddy use, allow the shoes to dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators. Once dry, brush off loose dirt with a soft brush.
- Washing: Do not machine wash. Use a damp cloth and mild soap to spot clean the upper.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to prevent material degradation.
- Care: If the water-repellent coating fades over time, apply a dedicated fabric re-waterproofing spray.
