OrthoLite® Sockliner: Molds to the contours of your foot, delivering superior cushioning, breathability, and durability, enhancing the overall comfort and performance of the shoe.

The Salomon XT-Whisper Trainers are built to perform reliably in a variety of settings. On urban streets and paved paths, the Contagrip® outsole provides stable and responsive cushioning, making them comfortable for daily commutes, city exploration, or casual walks. The Quicklace™ system allows for quick adjustments when you're on the go.
When transitioning to light trails, parks, or unpaved paths, the shoe truly shines. The Mud Contagrip® technology ensures excellent grip on loose dirt, gravel, and damp surfaces, preventing slips. The SensiFIT™ cage works with the Quicklace™ system to keep your foot securely locked in, reducing slippage inside the shoe during ascents or descents. The Agile Chassis™ System contributes to stability, helping you navigate uneven terrain with confidence.
For extended wear, the breathable layered mesh and OrthoLite® sockliner maintain comfort by wicking away moisture and providing ample cushioning. Whether you're standing for long periods or covering moderate distances, your feet are likely to remain comfortable and well-supported. Its blend of durability and comfort makes it a practical choice for active individuals who frequent both urban and natural environments. The XT-Whisper Void's design cues also make it a stylish choice for those who appreciate a technical aesthetic in their everyday footwear.
Lacing: The Quicklace™ system is designed for ease. To tighten, simply pull the end tab of the lace upwards until the desired fit is achieved. Ensure the lace is evenly distributed across your foot.
Securing Excess Lace: Once tightened, tuck the excess lace and the Quicklace™ tab into the small elastic pocket located on the top of the shoe's tongue. This prevents snagging and keeps the laces secure.
Loosening: To release, press the small button on the Quicklace™ tab and pull the tongue of the shoe forward, allowing the laces to slide freely.
Terrain: Compatible with a wide range of surfaces, from urban concrete and pavement to light dirt trails, gravel paths, and park terrain.
Activity: Ideal for casual wear, urban exploration, light hiking, walking, and everyday active use. While possessing trail features, they are not primarily designed for aggressive, technical trail running or extremely rugged terrain.
Socks: For optimal comfort and moisture management, wear with performance socks designed for athletic footwear.
Given the 'Vanilla Ice' white colorway, regular cleaning is recommended to maintain their aesthetic:
Cleaning Uppers: Wipe down the synthetic uppers and mesh with a damp cloth. For more stubborn dirt, use a soft brush (like an old toothbrush) and a small amount of mild soap (e.g., dish soap diluted with water). Gently scrub dirty areas.
Outsole Cleaning: Use a stiff brush or a damp cloth to remove mud and debris from the Contagrip® outsole to maintain traction.
Drying: Always air dry your trainers at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or artificial heat sources (like radiators or dryers). Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
Avoid: Do not machine wash or tumble dry your trainers, as this can damage the materials and adhesives.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use.
