While the Salomon XT-WHISPER VOID trainers offer excellent all-terrain grip and stability, they are designed as a versatile shoe blending trail heritage with street-ready design. For serious, technical trail running, Salomon offers other specialized models like the XT-6 or Speedcross series which are optimized for extreme conditions.
The Quicklace™ system generally requires minimal cleaning. If it becomes dirty, wipe the lace and toggle with a damp cloth. Avoid submerging the system in water or using harsh chemicals, which could damage the mechanism.
The Salomon XT-WHISPER VOID is designed specifically for the Quicklace™ system, and changing to traditional laces is not recommended as it may affect the shoe's intended fit and performance, especially with the SensiFIT™ integration. Replacement Quicklace™ kits are available if needed.
SensiFIT™ is a system that cradles the foot from the midsole to the lacing system, providing a secure, precise, and virtually custom fit around the foot. This enhances comfort and stability by preventing the foot from sliding within the shoe, which is crucial for both performance and comfort on varied terrains.
The Salomon XT-WHISPER VOID Trainers feature breathable layered mesh uppers, which are not waterproof. They are designed for ventilation and comfort in dry to damp conditions. For waterproof protection, look for Salomon models with GORE-TEX (GTX) in their name.
Salomon sizing is generally consistent. It is recommended to try on the trainers to ensure the best fit, especially considering the SensiFIT™ custom fit. If trying on is not possible, refer to Salomon's official size guide, typically measuring your foot length and comparing it to the chart. Remember to account for the type of socks you'll typically wear.
The Contagrip® outsole is made from a durable rubber compound designed for longevity and excellent traction across diverse surfaces. Its lifespan will depend on usage frequency, terrain type, and individual gait, but it is built to withstand significant wear and tear from regular use.
Ensure the lace is evenly distributed along the eyelets. To adjust, press the button on the Quicklace™ toggle, slide it up to loosen or pull the loose end of the lace to tighten. Make sure to stow the excess lace in the lace pocket.
Check if the OrthoLite® insole is properly seated. Remove the insole, clean it if necessary, and reinsert. Also, ensure your socks are appropriate for the activity and fit well, as sock bunching can cause discomfort.
After use in challenging conditions, clean the Contagrip® outsole thoroughly to remove any caked-on mud or debris that could reduce traction. Ensure the tread pattern is clear before your next outing. Worn out soles will naturally have reduced grip.
Due to the Vanilla Ice color, promptly clean any dirt or stains with a soft brush or damp cloth and mild soap. Regular, gentle cleaning will help maintain their fresh appearance. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
