FAQs
Are the Salomon XT-Whisper trainers waterproof?
The XT-Whisper trainers feature breathable mesh uppers that offer some protection against light moisture and debris but are not fully waterproof. For very wet conditions, additional waterproofing measures or specialized waterproof footwear may be required.
How do I adjust the Quicklace™ system?
To tighten, pull the laces evenly. To secure, push the toggle upwards. To loosen, pull the toggle downwards and outwards.
Can I replace the OrthoLite® insoles?
Yes, the OrthoLite® insoles are removable and can be replaced with custom orthotics or different insoles if desired.
What type of terrain are these trainers best suited for?
These trainers are designed for a variety of outdoor terrains, including trails, rocky paths, and mixed surfaces, offering excellent grip and stability.
How should I clean my XT-Whisper trainers?
Clean with a damp cloth and mild soap, then allow to air dry completely away from direct heat. Avoid machine washing.
Are these trainers suitable for wide feet?
The fit tends to be more standard to slightly narrow. Users with wide feet may find them less comfortable and should consider trying them on or looking for alternative models.
What is the main benefit of the Contagrip® outsole?
The Contagrip® outsole provides superior traction across a wide range of surfaces, enhancing stability and grip, especially in challenging outdoor conditions.
Troubleshooting
Laces not staying tight
Ensure the Quicklace™ toggle is fully engaged. If the laces continue to slip, check for wear on the lacing system and consider replacing the laces.
Discomfort or rubbing
Ensure the correct size is selected. Wear with appropriate socks and allow for a break-in period. Adjust the Quicklace™ system for a more personalized fit.
Traction feels reduced
Clean the outsoles of any mud, dirt, or debris. Examine the tread for excessive wear; if significantly worn, replacement may be necessary.
Water enters the shoe easily
While designed for breathability, the mesh upper is not fully waterproof. For very wet conditions, consider waterproof shoe covers or alternative footwear.
