FAQs
Are the Salomon XT-4 Og suitable for everyday wear?
While comfortable, their design and aggressive outsole are optimized for trail performance. They can be worn casually, but their primary strength lies in outdoor activities.
How do I clean mud off the Contagrip outsole?
Use a stiff brush to remove caked-on mud. A hose or damp cloth can also be effective. Ensure all lugs are clear for maximum grip.
Can I replace the OrthoLite sockliners?
Yes, the OrthoLite sockliners are typically removable and can be replaced with custom orthotics or alternative insoles if desired.
What is the main difference between XT-4 and XT-6?
The XT-4 Og is the ancestor of the XT-6. While both share performance DNA, the XT-6 is often considered a refinement with slight aesthetic and material updates. The XT-4 Og represents the original design ethos.
How durable is the anti-debris mesh?
The mesh is designed to be robust and resistant to abrasion from trail elements, balancing breathability with durability.
Is this shoe waterproof?
The XT-4 Og trainers are water-resistant due to their construction but are not fully waterproof. They offer good protection against splashes and light rain but are not designed for submersion.
What UK size is this specific guide for?
This guide specifically refers to the Salomon XT-4 Og Trainers in Grey/Silver, UK Size 7.
Troubleshooting
Quicklace system is too tight or loose
Adjust the tension by pulling the lace ends upwards for tighter, or pressing the release toggle downwards for looser. Ensure the excess lace is stored in the lace garage.
Traction feels reduced on wet surfaces
Clean the Mud Contagrip lugs of any mud or debris. The aggressive tread requires clear lugs for optimal grip.
Discomfort or rubbing during wear
Ensure the fit is correct using the Quicklace system. Check for any debris inside the shoe and ensure socks are worn appropriately. The OrthoLite sockliners may take a few wears to mold to your foot.
Materials feel stiff initially
The trainers may require a short break-in period. Wear them for shorter durations initially and gradually increase mileage as they become more flexible.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The XT-4 Og trainers utilize Salomon's Quicklace system. To put them on, loosen the laces by pulling the toggle, slide your foot in, and then pull the lace ends upwards firmly to secure. To release, push the toggle downwards. Ensure the laces are tucked into the lace garage on the tongue to prevent snagging.
Compatibility: These trainers are optimized for trail running, hiking, and outdoor activities. They are compatible with various weather conditions due to their durable and quick-drying materials. Not recommended for extensive road running.
Care:
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush. For tougher dirt, use a damp cloth with mild soap. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents.
- Drying: Allow trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose to direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can damage the materials.
- Laces: Inspect the Quicklace system regularly for wear and tear. Replacement kits are available.
