Full details
The Salomon XT-4 OG GTX is a high-performance, archive-inspired trainer designed for both trail enthusiasts and urban explorers who need a blend of technical capability and style. It features an integrated GORE-TEX membrane for all-weather protection, making it an ideal choice for unpredictable climates, though its rugged construction may feel slightly heavier than minimalist road-running sneakers.

FAQs
Are these shoes fully waterproof?
Yes, the integration of GORE-TEX ensures that the shoes are waterproof while remaining breathable in various weather conditions.
Can I use these for marathon running?
While highly capable, they are designed as a versatile trail-to-urban shoe. They are durable, but may feel heavier than specialized road-racing footwear.
How do I replace the speed laces?
Salomon uses a proprietary system. If a lace breaks, you can purchase a standard Salomon replacement kit available at most outdoor retailers.
Are they true to size?
The XT-4 series typically follows standard sizing; however, since they feature a technical fit, it is recommended to wear your usual athletic shoe size.
Can I put these in the dryer?
No, never place your trainers in a dryer. High heat can damage the midsole foam and the waterproof membrane.
Troubleshooting
Speed lacing feels loose during activity
Ensure the toggle is pushed firmly down against the lace housing and the excess lace is tucked into the storage pocket.
Outer material looks dull after muddy use
Once dry, gently brush off the mud with a soft-bristled brush. Use a damp cloth to spot clean any remaining residue.
Water penetrating the shoe
Check the upper material for any physical tears or debris lodged in the folds of the fabric that might compromise the waterproof seal.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your XT-4 trainers, pull the speed lace mechanism upward to tighten and slide the toggle down to lock it in place; tuck the excess lace into the dedicated storage pocket on the tongue. When cleaning, remove loose dirt with a soft brush and clean the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing or using high-heat drying, as this can degrade the GORE-TEX membrane and adhesive bonds. Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain the integrity of the materials.
