FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The XT-Whisper trainers generally offer a standard fit. While the Quicklace™ system allows for some adjustment, individuals with very wide feet may find them restrictive. Checking customer reviews or trying them on in person is recommended.
Can I replace the Quicklace™ cord?
Yes, the Quicklace™ cord can be replaced. You can typically purchase replacement kits from Salomon or outdoor gear retailers. Follow the specific instructions provided with the replacement kit.
Are the Salomon XT-Whisper trainers waterproof?
The XT-Whisper trainers are designed for breathability and grip, not full waterproofing. They offer some resistance to light moisture but are not suitable for prolonged submersion or heavy rain without additional waterproofing measures.
What is the primary benefit of the Mud Contagrip® sole?
The Mud Contagrip® sole is specifically engineered to provide maximum grip and traction on soft, muddy, or slippery surfaces. Its aggressive lug pattern helps shed mud effectively.
How do I know if I have the correct size?
Ensure there is a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe when standing. Your heel should feel secure and not lift excessively when walking. It's often best to try them on at the end of the day when feet are slightly larger.
What is the difference between these trainers and hiking boots?
These trainers are generally lighter and more flexible than hiking boots, offering excellent agility for faster-paced activities. Hiking boots typically provide more ankle support and robust protection for more challenging, longer treks.
Troubleshooting
Quicklace™ system not tightening properly
Ensure the lace is threaded correctly through all the eyelets and that the toggle is fully engaged. Check for any debris obstructing the mechanism.
Foot discomfort or rubbing
Verify the shoe size and width are appropriate. The Ortholite® sockliner can sometimes be removed and replaced with custom orthotics if needed. Allow for a break-in period.
Reduced grip on slippery surfaces
Clean the Mud Contagrip® outsole with water to remove embedded mud or debris. Inspect the tread for excessive wear. If worn, consider replacement.
Shoes remain wet after use
Ensure proper drying procedures are followed. Consider using moisture-wicking socks and allowing adequate drying time between uses.

Care:
To maintain the performance and longevity of your XT-Whisper Trainers:
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap and water. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents, as these can damage the materials and adhesives.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can degrade the materials.
- Storage: Store the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
- Laces: The Quicklace™ system is designed for durability. If the laces become worn, they can be replaced following Salomon's specific guidelines for their lacing systems.
