Setup, Compatibility & Care
Understanding how to properly set up, ensure compatibility, and care for your Salomon XT-Whisper Trainers will help you get the most out of your purchase.
Setup & First Use

- Securing the Excess Lace: Tuck the toggle and any excess lace into the small elastic pouch located on the tongue (if available) or secure it under the laces to prevent snagging.

Care & Maintenance
Proper care will prolong the life and appearance of your white Salomon XT-Whisper Trainers.
- Cleaning the Upper (Mesh & Rubber):
- Remove loose dirt with a soft brush or dry cloth.
- Mix a small amount of mild soap (like dish soap) with warm water.
- Dampen a clean cloth or sponge with the soapy water and gently wipe down the mesh and rubber sections of the trainers.
- For stubborn spots, use a soft-bristle brush (like an old toothbrush) to gently scrub. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Wipe off any soap residue with a clean, damp cloth.
- Cleaning the Sole: Use a stiff brush or old toothbrush to remove dirt and debris from the rubber sole. A damp cloth can be used for surface cleaning.
- Drying: Allow trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or artificial heat sources (like radiators or hair dryers), as this can damage materials.
- Insole Care: The OrthoLite® insoles are often removable. You can take them out to air dry separately if they become damp.
- Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
