FAQs

Are the Salomon XT-Whisper trainers waterproof?

The XT-Whisper trainers are constructed with breathable mesh uppers, which are not waterproof. They offer good water resistance against light splashes but are not designed for full submersion or heavy rain.

How do I clean the Quicklace system?

The Quicklace system generally requires minimal cleaning. You can wipe the laces and toggle with a damp cloth. Ensure the toggle mechanism moves freely.

What is the primary benefit of the ACS support?

The ACS (Advanced Chassis System) support provides enhanced stability and protection on uneven terrain by controlling the shoe's flexibility and torsional rigidity, helping to prevent foot fatigue.

Can I replace the Ortholite insoles?

Yes, the Ortholite insoles are removable and can be replaced with custom orthotics or other insoles if desired, provided they fit within the shoe without compromising the fit.

Are these suitable for wide feet?

The fit is designed to be secure and precise. While the Quicklace system allows for some adjustment, individuals with significantly wide feet may find them snug. Trying them on is recommended.

What type of activities are these trainers best for?

The XT-Whisper trainers are versatile and suitable for trail running, hiking, walking, and general outdoor exploration where good grip, support, and cushioning are beneficial.

Troubleshooting

Laces feel too tight or too loose

Adjust the Quicklace toggle. Pull up to loosen and push down to tighten. Ensure the knot is securely fastened.

Reduced grip on surfaces

Clean the Contagrip outsole to remove mud, dirt, or debris that may be affecting traction. Inspect for significant wear.

Discomfort or pressure points

Ensure the shoes are the correct size and width. Adjust the lacing for a more personalized fit. Consider using the provided Ortholite insoles for additional cushioning.

Mesh appears dirty or stained

Gently clean the mesh with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive scrubbing. Allow to air dry.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The XT-Whisper trainers are ready to wear out of the box. The Quicklace system allows for immediate adjustment to your preferred snugness. Simply pull the laces tight and secure them with the toggle.

Compatibility: These trainers are designed for unisex adult use and are compatible with a wide range of outdoor apparel. They are suitable for various activities including trail running, hiking, and general outdoor exploration.

Care: To maintain the performance and longevity of your XT-Whisper trainers:

  1. Cleaning: After use, remove any loose dirt with a soft brush. Clean the uppers with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid harsh detergents.
  2. Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or prolonged sunlight, as this can damage the materials.
  3. Insoles: Remove the Ortholite insoles periodically to air them out and clean them separately if needed.
