FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
The XT-Whisper features a breathable upper for airflow, which means they are not fully waterproof and are best suited for dry or light-weather conditions.
Can I use these for long-distance running?
While they offer great comfort and stability, they are classified as trainers and hiking-oriented footwear; they are best for walking, light hiking, and casual use rather than high-mileage running.
How should I clean the breathable mesh?
Use a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing or using harsh detergents, as these can damage the structural adhesives.
Is the sizing consistent with other Salomon shoes?
Salomon sizing is generally consistent across the XT series, but as these are performance-oriented, we recommend checking your UK size against the provided size guide.
Can I replace the Quicklace system if it breaks?
Yes, Salomon provides replacement Quicklace kits if the cord or locking mechanism eventually wears out.
Troubleshooting
Quicklace system feels too loose during movement
Ensure the lace lock is pushed fully into the locking position and that the excess cord is securely tucked into the tongue pocket.
Accumulation of debris inside the shoe
The mesh is highly breathable to release moisture, which can occasionally let fine dust in; use moisture-wicking socks to mitigate discomfort.
Outsole losing grip on wet surfaces
Clean the outsole thoroughly with a brush and warm water to remove embedded mud or grit that blocks the traction patterns.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To get the most out of your Salomon XT-Whisper trainers, ensure the Quicklace is tucked away into the designated pocket on the tongue after tightening. For maintenance, remove surface dirt with a soft brush after every trail use. If the shoes become heavily soiled, hand-wash them with mild soap and lukewarm water, then allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources, such as radiators or direct sunlight, which can degrade the cushioning materials. Store the shoes in a cool, dry place to maintain the integrity of the breathable mesh fabric.
