FAQs

Are these sneakers suitable for running?

While designed for versatility and active use, including light trails, the XT-Whisper is primarily a lifestyle and multi-terrain sneaker rather than a dedicated running shoe. For serious running, especially on technical trails, a specialized running shoe might be more appropriate.

How do I clean the Quick Lace System?

Wipe the Quick Lace system with a damp cloth to remove dirt. Avoid soaking it or applying harsh chemicals, as this could affect the mechanism's performance.

Is the XT-Whisper waterproof?

The textile upper is breathable for comfort, but the product description does not specify it as waterproof. For wet conditions, consider applying a suitable water-repellent spray or choosing a waterproof specific model.

What is the Agile Chassis System?

The Agile Chassis System (ACS) is a Salomon technology that works between the outsole and midsole to provide stability, cushioning, and responsiveness, enhancing your control and comfort on varied terrain.

How do Salomon sizes typically run?

Salomon sizing is generally consistent with standard UK sizing. However, foot shape can vary, so it's always recommended to consult a size chart and try them on if possible for the best fit.

Can I replace the Quick Lace System?

Salomon offers repair kits for their Quick Lace Systems. If your system is damaged, contact Salomon customer service or a certified retailer for assistance and replacement options.

Troubleshooting

Laces feel too tight or too loose after using Quick Lace System

Ensure you are using the lace pocket correctly. For tightening, pull the lace tab firmly until comfortable. For loosening, press the button and pull the tab away. Practice adjusting to find your perfect fit.

Shoes feel slippery on certain surfaces

Check the rubber outsole for excessive wear or trapped debris. Clean the outsole regularly to maintain optimal traction. If wear is significant, consider replacement.

Foot discomfort or rubbing

Ensure you have the correct size and consider wearing appropriate athletic socks. Adjust the Quick Lace System to prevent over-tightening or looseness that could cause friction. Allow a break-in period for new shoes.

Care

  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use to maintain material quality.
