FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for serious hiking?
The Salomon XT-Whisper trainers are inspired by trail running but are best suited for urban environments, light trails, and casual use. For rugged, technical terrain or long-distance hiking, a more specialized hiking boot might be more appropriate.
How do I adjust the Quicklace system?
Simply pull the laces to tighten and loosen the lock. There's a small pocket on the tongue to store the excess lace.
What is the primary material of the upper?
The upper is made from a combination of breathable textile mesh and synthetic overlays for support and durability.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials and construction. It's best to clean them by hand with a damp cloth and mild soap.
How should I dry the trainers if they get wet?
Allow the trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid using direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers.
What does SensiFIT technology do?
SensiFIT is a system designed to improve foot support and comfort by precisely cradling the foot from the midsole to the lacing system, ensuring a secure and adaptive fit.
What kind of surfaces does the outsole provide grip on?
The lugged rubber outsole is designed to provide good traction on a variety of surfaces, including pavement, gravel, and packed dirt paths.
Troubleshooting
Quicklace system feels too tight or too loose.
Adjust the tension by gently pulling or loosening the lace lock. Ensure the excess lace is securely stored in the lace pocket to prevent it from unraveling.
Traction is reduced on wet surfaces.
Clean the outsole tread to remove any debris that might be hindering grip. Note that all rubber outsoles have limitations on extremely slick surfaces.
Shoes feel uncomfortable after extended wear.
Ensure the Quicklace system is adjusted correctly for a balanced fit, not too tight or too loose. Consider wearing them with appropriate athletic socks.
Mesh upper appears dirty.
Gently clean the mesh with a damp cloth and mild soap. Allow to air dry completely. Avoid harsh scrubbing.
