FAQs

Are Salomon XT-Whisper sneakers suitable for running?

The XT-Whisper is primarily designed for daily wear, urban exploration, and light activities. While it offers excellent cushioning and stability for walking and light jogging, it is not built for rigorous or long-distance running on trails or roads.

How do I clean my XT-Whisper sneakers?

To clean, gently spot clean the polyester upper with a mild soap and cold water using a soft cloth or brush. Avoid immersing the entire shoe in water or machine washing. Allow them to air dry completely at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight.

Are these sneakers waterproof?

No, the XT-Whisper features a 3D open mesh upper for superior breathability, which means it is not waterproof. It is best suited for dry conditions and offers limited protection against rain or wet environments.

What is Sensifit?

Sensifit is Salomon's proprietary technology designed to cradle the foot from the midsole to the lacing system, providing a secure, precise, and virtually customized fit all around the foot. This helps to hold your foot comfortably in place.

What does EnergyCell do?

EnergyCell is a high-rebound midsole compound that provides exceptional energy return and substantial cushioning. It's engineered to absorb shock effectively and deliver a 'bouncy' feel, enhancing comfort during prolonged wear.

Is the sizing true to standard UK shoe sizes?

Salomon sizing can sometimes vary slightly. For the best fit, we recommend referring to Salomon's official size guide and, if possible, trying the shoes on. Consider your typical shoe size for sneakers, but be prepared to adjust if necessary.

Can I replace the insoles?

Yes, the insoles in the XT-Whisper are removable. This allows for easier cleaning and gives you the option to replace them with custom orthotics or aftermarket insoles if preferred, to further tailor the fit and support.

Troubleshooting

Foot feels loose or unsupported during wear

Ensure laces are tied securely and adjusted to your foot's width. The Sensifit system works best with a snug, but not overly tight, lacing. Try re-lacing to ensure even tension.

Unpleasant odor develops after prolonged use

Remove insoles and allow both the shoes and insoles to air out thoroughly after each wear. Consider using a shoe deodorizer spray or cedar shoe inserts to absorb moisture and neutralize odors.

Squeaking sound when walking

Often, squeaking is caused by friction between the insole and the shoe's footbed. Try removing the insoles, sprinkling a small amount of baby powder or cornstarch inside the shoe, then reinserting the insoles. If the issue persists, check if the outsole has any debris lodged in it.

They are highly compatible with a wide range of casual and athleisure wear, making them a versatile choice for daily activities, city walks, light gym sessions, or travel. To ensure longevity and maintain performance, care for your XT-Whisper sneakers by gently spot cleaning the polyester upper with a mild soap and cold water.
