FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
The Salomon XT-Whisper Trainers are designed for casual wear and light activities. While they offer comfort and some support, they are not specialized running shoes and may not provide the necessary cushioning or stability for intense running.
How do I clean the mesh upper?
Gently brush away dirt with a soft brush. For tougher stains, use a damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap, and then wipe with a clean, damp cloth. Allow to air dry.
What is the purpose of the Sensifit™ technology?
Sensifit™ is a system designed to hug the foot precisely, providing a secure and comfortable fit that enhances performance and confidence.
Can I replace the Quicklace™ system?
Yes, replacement Quicklace™ kits are available separately. They typically include new laces and the toggles.
Are these waterproof?
The XT-Whisper Trainers feature a mesh upper which is breathable but not waterproof. They offer some resistance to light moisture but are not designed for heavy rain or submersion.
What type of terrain is the Contagrip® outsole best for?
Contagrip® rubber outsoles are designed for a wide variety of surfaces. They provide reliable traction on both hard and soft, slippery surfaces, suitable for urban environments and light trails.
What is the main difference between these and Salomon's trail running shoes?
While inspired by trail running heritage, the XT-Whisper is optimized for a blend of style and casual comfort. Dedicated trail running shoes typically feature more aggressive lugs, enhanced waterproofing, and specialized cushioning for rugged terrain.
Troubleshooting
Quicklace™ system feels too tight or too loose.
Adjust the tension by pulling the lace toggle. If it remains loose, ensure the knot mechanism is correctly secured. If too tight, loosen by pulling the toggle upwards.
Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces.
While Contagrip® offers good traction, extremely wet or oily surfaces may reduce grip. Ensure the outsole is clean from debris that could affect performance.
Discomfort after prolonged wear.
Ensure you have the correct size and fit. Break in the shoes gradually with shorter wear periods. Check that socks are appropriate and not causing friction.
