FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for waterproof conditions?

The XT-Whisper features anti-debris mesh for breathability and protection. While they offer some resistance to light moisture, they are not designed to be fully waterproof. For wet conditions, consider Salomon's waterproof footwear options.

How do I maintain the Quicklace system?

The Quicklace system is designed for durability. Ensure the laces are clean and free of excessive dirt. The main maintenance is proper adjustment for fit and tucking away the excess lace.

Can I replace the OrthoLite insoles?

Yes, the OrthoLite insoles are removable and can be replaced with custom orthotics or other preferred insoles if needed, provided they are of a similar size and shape.

What type of terrain are these best suited for?

These trainers are ideal for mixed terrain, including light trails, gravel paths, and moderately uneven ground. The Contagrip outsole provides reliable traction on various surfaces.

How do I choose the correct size?

Refer to the sizing guide and measure your foot. The XT-Whisper generally runs true to size, but consider your sock thickness and if you prefer a snug or slightly roomier fit.

What is the primary benefit of the Sensifit system?

The Sensifit system is designed to hug the foot precisely, providing a secure and comfortable fit that enhances stability and responsiveness, especially during dynamic movements on varied terrain.

Troubleshooting

Quicklace system feels too tight or too loose

Adjust the tension using the toggle. For a tighter fit, pull the toggle upwards; for a looser fit, press the release button on the toggle. Re-tuck the laces into the tongue pocket.

Debris getting into the shoe despite mesh

Ensure the tongue is correctly positioned and the Quicklace system is snug. For very fine debris, consider wearing gaiters.

Reduced grip on wet surfaces

Clean the Contagrip outsole thoroughly to remove any embedded dirt or mud. Ensure the shoes are not excessively worn down.

Discomfort or rubbing

Ensure you have the correct size and that the Quicklace system is adjusted properly for a secure but not constricting fit. Break in the shoes gradually.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Secure and precise fit with Sensifit technology
  • Excellent traction on diverse terrains thanks to Contagrip
  • Durable construction suitable for trail activities
  • Quick and easy lacing system for on-the-go adjustments
  • Comfortable cushioning for extended wear

Cons

  • Quicklace system may require a learning curve for some users
  • The specific 'Grey' color family might not suit all aesthetic preferences
  • While versatile, they are primarily trail-oriented and may offer less specialized support for road running.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The primary setup involves adjusting the Quicklace system to your preferred tightness. Once set, the laces can be tucked into the small pocket on the tongue for a clean finish.

Compatibility: These trainers are designed for unisex adult use and are compatible with standard sock wear. They are suitable for a range of activities including trail running, hiking, and general outdoor wear.

Care:

  1. Cleaning Uppers: Use a soft brush or damp cloth to remove dirt and debris from the mesh and synthetic materials. Avoid harsh chemicals.
  2. Insoles: Remove the OrthoLite insoles periodically to air them out and clean them gently with a damp cloth if necessary.
  3. Outsoles: Clean the Contagrip outsoles with water to remove mud or grit that could affect traction.
  4. Drying: Always air dry the shoes away from direct heat sources like radiators or intense sunlight, which can damage the materials.
