FAQs
What type of terrain are these trainers best suited for?
The Salomon XT-Whisper trainers are best suited for varied terrains, including trails, gravel, mud, and packed earth, thanks to the Mud Contagrip® outsole.
How do I clean the mesh panels?
Gently brush off loose dirt and then use a damp cloth with a mild soap solution. Rinse with clean water and allow to air dry completely.
Can I replace the OrthoLite® insole?
Yes, the OrthoLite® die-cut insole is removable and can be replaced with custom orthotics if needed, provided they are of a similar thickness.
Are these shoes waterproof?
These trainers feature a mesh-panel construction which prioritizes breathability. While they offer some protection, they are not fully waterproof and may not be suitable for prolonged exposure to heavy rain or submersion in water.
How often should I check the Quicklace™ system?
It's recommended to inspect the Quicklace™ system periodically, especially before demanding activities. Ensure the lace is not frayed and the locking mechanism functions smoothly.
What is the main benefit of SensiFit™ technology?
SensiFit™ technology is designed to cradle the foot from the midsole to the lacing system, providing a secure, snug, and precise fit that enhances stability and reduces slippage inside the shoe.
Can men and women wear these trainers?
While this specific variant is listed for 'Male', Salomon often designs footwear with unisex appeal. Please check the product specifications for gender applicability or consider unisex models if available.
Troubleshooting
Quicklace™ system is difficult to tighten or loosen.
Ensure the lace is clean and free from dirt or debris. Check that the lace is properly threaded through the eyelets and the locking mechanism. If the lace is frayed, it may need replacement.
Discomfort or rubbing around the ankle.
Adjust the tightness of the Quicklace™ system to ensure a snug but not overly tight fit. Ensure socks are pulled up properly and not bunched. The padded collar may require a short break-in period.
Reduced grip on wet surfaces.
The Mud Contagrip® outsole is designed for excellent traction, but effectiveness can be reduced by extreme wear or when encountering specific slick substances. Clean the outsole to remove any embedded debris. Ensure the shoes are appropriate for the specific wet conditions encountered; while good, they may have limitations on polished surfaces.
Shoes feel too narrow or too wide.
Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. The SensiFit™ technology is designed to hug the foot; if it feels too restrictive, slightly loosen the Quicklace™. If it feels too loose, tighten it further. Consider trying a different size if the issue persists, as fit is subjective.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care:
To maintain the performance and longevity of your trainers:
- Cleaning: Remove excess dirt with a soft brush. Clean the shoes with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Air dry the shoes at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, as this can damage the materials.
- Laces: Periodically check the Quicklace™ system for wear and tear. Ensure the lace is clean and free from debris to maintain smooth adjustment.
