FAQs

Are the Salomon XT-Whisper trainers waterproof?

No, the XT-Whisper trainers are designed for breathability and are not fully waterproof. They are water-resistant to some degree but will let water in if submerged or in heavy rain.

How do I adjust the Quicklace system?

Pull the laces evenly until they are snug. Then, tuck the excess lace into the small pocket (lace garage) on the tongue of the shoe. To loosen, pull the lace toggle.

Can I use these for road running?

While they can be used for occasional road running, the XT-Whisper is optimized for trail conditions. The lug pattern and chassis are designed for off-road traction and stability.

What is the main benefit of the Sensifit application?

The Sensifit application provides a secure and precise wrap around the foot, enhancing stability and comfort by holding the foot in place during dynamic movements.

How do I clean mud off the shoes?

After removing loose dirt with a brush, use a damp cloth with mild soap. Rinse the cloth and wipe down the shoes. Allow them to air dry completely.

Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?

The XT-Whisper features a standard fit. Due to the Sensifit system, they adapt well, but individuals with significantly wide feet may wish to try them on or consult sizing guides carefully.

What is the difference between this and other Salomon trail shoes?

The XT-Whisper is a heritage model known for its specific blend of cushioning, stability (ACS chassis), and distinctive aesthetic. Different models might offer varying levels of cushioning, waterproofing, or aggressive traction patterns.

Troubleshooting

Laces loosening unexpectedly.

Ensure the Quicklace knot is secure. If the lace material is worn, consider replacing the Quicklace cord.

Discomfort or rubbing.

Ensure the correct size is selected. Break in the shoes gradually on shorter walks. Check sock choice for proper fit and material.

Reduced grip on wet surfaces.

Clean the Contagrip outsole to remove any embedded debris. Note that extreme wet conditions can reduce grip on any footwear.

Excessive water entry.

While the mesh offers breathability, it is not waterproof. For very wet conditions, consider waterproof trail running shoes or gaiters.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent traction and grip on diverse surfaces.
  • Secure and adaptive fit due to Sensifit and Quicklace.
  • Responsive cushioning for comfort during long runs.
  • Durable construction suitable for rugged trails.
  • Breathable mesh keeps feet cool.

Cons

  • Unisex sizing may require more attention for optimal fit.
  • The aesthetic might be polarizing for some users.
  • May offer less ankle support compared to dedicated hiking boots.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

The Salomon XT-Whisper trainers are ready to wear out of the box. The Quicklace system can be adjusted by pulling the laces tight and tucking the excess lace into the lace garage on the tongue.

Compatibility:

These trainers are designed for adult use and are compatible with standard athletic socks. They are suitable for various outdoor activities including trail running, hiking, and general fitness.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents, as this can damage the materials and adhesives.
  • Drying: Air dry the shoes away from direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape during drying.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use to prolong their lifespan.
