FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for long-distance running?

The Salomon XT-Whisper Trainers are primarily designed for casual everyday wear, light walking, and urban exploration due to their comfort-focused features like the OrthoLite® insole. While suitable for light activities, they are not specifically engineered for high-performance or long-distance running.

Can I replace the Quicklace™ system if it breaks?

The Quicklace™ system is designed for durability. In the rare event of damage, Salomon offers replacement Quicklace™ kits. It is recommended to contact Salomon's customer service or visit an authorized dealer for replacement options and guidance.

Are these trainers waterproof?

No, these trainers feature a mesh and rubber construction which is breathable but not designed to be waterproof. They will offer some resistance to light splashes but are not suitable for wet conditions.

How do I clean the white material to keep it looking new?

To keep your white trainers looking fresh, clean them regularly. Use a mixture of mild soap and warm water with a soft brush or cloth to gently scrub the mesh and rubber parts. Rinse with a clean, damp cloth and air dry away from direct heat.

Do these trainers fit true to size?

Salomon trainers generally fit true to size for UK measurements. However, foot shapes can vary. The SensiFit™ system provides a snug, conforming fit. If you are unsure, it's always best to try them on to ensure optimal comfort.

What is the benefit of the OrthoLite® insole?

The OrthoLite® insole provides superior cushioning, breathability, and durability. It helps to wick away moisture, prevent odors, and maintain its shape over time, contributing to long-lasting comfort and support.

Troubleshooting

Quicklace™ feels too tight or too loose.

Adjust the tension by pulling the toggle up or down the lace. If too tight, slightly lift the toggle to loosen. If too loose, pull the lace through the toggle to tighten until comfortable. Ensure you secure the excess lace in its pouch.

Trainers appear dirty or stained, especially the white areas.

Regularly clean the mesh and rubber surfaces with a mild soap and water solution using a soft cloth or brush. For more stubborn stains, a gentle shoe cleaner specifically designed for mesh and synthetic materials can be used. Always air dry.

Foot discomfort or rubbing.

Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. Verify that the Quicklace™ tension is not excessively tight in certain areas. Over time, the SensiFit™ application and OrthoLite® insole will conform more to your foot. If discomfort persists, consider checking your sizing or consulting a footwear specialist.

Pros and Cons

  • Effortless On/Off: The Quicklace™ system makes donning and doffing the trainers exceptionally fast and easy.
  • Comfort-Focused Design: SensiFit™ and OrthoLite® work together to provide a highly comfortable and supportive fit for extended wear.
  • Durable Construction: The combination of mesh and rubber, along with a robust rubber sole, suggests good longevity for everyday use.
  • Versatile Style: The clean white color and modern design make them suitable for a wide range of casual outfits.

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Understanding how to properly set up, ensure compatibility, and care for your Salomon XT-Whisper Trainers will help you get the most out of your purchase.

Setup & First Use

  1. Donning the Trainers: Slide your foot into the trainer. Ensure your heel is comfortably seated in the back.
  2. Using Quicklace™: Locate the Quicklace™ toggle on the top of the tongue. Pull the excess lace through the toggle, away from your foot, until the trainers feel snug and secure around your foot.
  3. Securing the Excess Lace: Tuck the toggle and any excess lace into the small elastic pouch located on the tongue (if available) or secure it under the laces to prevent snagging.
  4. Initial Walk: Take a few steps to ensure the fit is comfortable and secure. Adjust the Quicklace™ tension as needed.

Care & Maintenance

Proper care will prolong the life and appearance of your white Salomon XT-Whisper Trainers.

  1. Cleaning the Upper (Mesh & Rubber):
  • Remove loose dirt with a soft brush or dry cloth.
  • Mix a small amount of mild soap (like dish soap) with warm water.
  • Dampen a clean cloth or sponge with the soapy water and gently wipe down the mesh and rubber sections of the trainers.
  • For stubborn spots, use a soft-bristle brush (like an old toothbrush) to gently scrub. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
  • Wipe off any soap residue with a clean, damp cloth.
  1. Cleaning the Sole: Use a stiff brush or old toothbrush to remove dirt and debris from the rubber sole. A damp cloth can be used for surface cleaning.
  2. Drying: Allow trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or artificial heat sources (like radiators or hair dryers), as this can damage materials.
  3. Insole Care: The OrthoLite® insoles are often removable. You can take them out to air dry separately if they become damp.
  4. Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
