Product Information
Full details
The Salomon XT-Whisper Trainers are versatile, unisex performance shoes designed for individuals who need reliable footwear that transitions seamlessly between urban environments and light outdoor trails. Featuring a lightweight, breathable mesh construction and responsive cushioning, they offer excellent comfort for daily wear or casual hiking; however, those requiring heavy-duty technical support for extreme mountaineering may find the lightweight frame less rigid than specialized alpine boots.

FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the XT-Whisper is designed with a breathable mesh upper for maximum airflow, meaning they are not waterproof.
Can these be used for professional trail running?
While they provide great traction, they are categorized as trainers suitable for light trails and casual use rather than specialized technical trail running shoes.
How do I replace the laces if they break?
Salomon uses a specific Quicklace® system; replacement kits are available through authorized Salomon dealers.
Are they true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard sizing conventions, but we recommend measuring your foot while wearing the socks you intend to use with them.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
Machine washing is generally discouraged as it can weaken the adhesives and degrade the EVA foam. Hand washing is the recommended care method.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The fit is standard, but the lacing system allows for a significant amount of adjustment to accommodate various foot shapes.
Troubleshooting
Quicklace system feels too loose after hiking.
Ensure the toggle is fully locked and the excess lace is tucked securely into the tongue pocket to prevent snagging or slippage.
Outer mesh appears dusty or dirty.
Use a soft-bristled brush or a slightly dampened microfiber cloth to wipe the mesh surface gently.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Lightweight construction prevents foot fatigue during long days.
- Quicklace® system allows for rapid and precise fit adjustments.
- Breathable mesh keeps feet cool in warm weather or during high-intensity movement.
- Versatile performance suitable for both paved surfaces and off-road trails.
Cons
- Not intended for extreme, high-altitude mountaineering.
- Lightweight materials may show wear faster than heavy-duty leather alternatives.
- Support structure is geared toward comfort rather than extreme ankle stability.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best fit, pull the Quicklace® slider upward to loosen the shoe before sliding your foot in; then, pull the toggle downward to lock in your desired tension and tuck the excess lace into the dedicated tongue pocket. For maintenance, remove loose dirt after outdoor use by tapping the outsoles together or using a soft brush. If the trainers become heavily soiled, hand wash them with lukewarm water and a mild soap, then allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can damage the mesh fibers and foam cushioning.
