Full details

FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
The XT-Whisper features a breathable mesh upper, which provides airflow. While it is durable, it is not marketed as a fully waterproof shoe.
Can I use these for hiking?
Yes, they feature trail-derived technology like the Mud contaGRIP outsole, making them suitable for light hiking and well-maintained trails.
How do I secure the QuickLACE?
Slide the toggle down until snug against the top of the shoe, then tuck the excess lace into the pocket on the tongue.
Is the sizing true to standard UK sizes?
Salomon trainers generally follow standard sizing, but because of the internal chassis, some users prefer a half-size larger for extra toe room.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
It is not recommended. Washing machines can degrade the glues and synthetic materials. Stick to hand cleaning with a damp cloth.
Do the insoles come out?
Yes, the OrthoLite sockliners are designed to be removable for cleaning or for replacement with personal orthotics.
Troubleshooting
QuickLACE system feels loose
Ensure the toggle is fully locked and the lace is threaded correctly through the eyelets before tightening.
Accumulation of debris in the sole
Use a stiff-bristled brush to clear mud and rocks from the lug pattern of the Mud contaGRIP outsole.
Unpleasant odors after heavy use
Remove the OrthoLite sockliner and allow the shoe to air out in a well-ventilated area; the sockliner can be hand-washed if necessary.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Lightweight and breathable construction
- Efficient and easy-to-use quick-lacing system
- Excellent balance of support and cushioning
- Versatile design suitable for both trail and city environments
- High-grip outsole provides confidence on slick surfaces
Cons
- Specific trail-inspired aesthetic may not suit formal settings
- Requires proper sizing for the internal structure to feel 'snug'
- May feel stiff compared to minimalist lifestyle sneakers
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your XT-Whisper trainers last, begin by properly adjusting the QuickLACE system; pull the toggle to secure the lace, and tuck the excess lace into the dedicated tongue pocket to prevent snagging. For cleaning, remove surface dirt with a soft brush after your walk. If the mesh becomes heavily soiled, use a damp cloth with mild soap, and always air dry at room temperature away from direct heat sources, which can warp the synthetic overlays. The OrthoLite sockliner is removable; if you require custom orthotics, ensure they fit the internal volume of the shoe before extended use.
