FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the XT-Whisper features a breathable mesh upper that allows for airflow, meaning they are not waterproof.
Can I use these for long-distance running?
While they are comfortable and cushioned, they are primarily categorized as versatile trainers for trail and casual use.
How do I replace the laces?
The Quicklace system is integrated; if damaged, you should contact Salomon authorized service centers for professional replacement kits.
Are they true to size?
Most users find the Salomon sizing consistent; however, if you plan to wear thick hiking socks, you may want to consider a half-size up.
Are these suitable for gym use?
Yes, the stable sole and lightweight design make them suitable for general gym activities and cross-training.
Troubleshooting
Quicklace system feels loose or slips
Ensure the lace lock is pushed firmly down and the excess lace is tucked securely into the dedicated pocket on the tongue.
Foot feels unstable on technical terrain
Re-adjust the lacing tension across the midfoot to ensure the synthetic overlays are pulling snugly against your foot.
Mud accumulation on the outsole
The deep lug pattern is designed to shed mud, but if buildup persists, use a stiff-bristled brush once the mud has dried.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best fit, ensure the Quicklace system is tightened evenly across the instep. Avoid pulling the lace too tight, which can cause pressure points. To clean your XT-Whisper trainers, remove loose dirt with a soft brush after every trip. If they become muddy, wipe them down with a damp cloth and mild soap. Never machine wash your trainers or submerge them in hot water, as this can degrade the foam midsole and synthetic adhesive layers. Air dry in a cool, shaded area away from direct heat sources like radiators.
