FAQs
What is the Quicklace™ system?
The Quicklace™ system is a minimalist, strong lace that allows for one-pull tightening, making it easy to put on and take off your shoes. It provides a secure and customized fit quickly.
What does SensiFit™ do?
SensiFit™ technology cradles the foot from the midsole to the lacing system, providing a secure, snug, and virtually customized fit all around the foot, enhancing stability and comfort.
Are these trainers suitable for running or trail running?
The Salomon XT-Whisper Trainers are designed for general everyday wear and light activities, offering comfort and support. While they are durable, they are not specialized running or trail running shoes like some other Salomon models. For more intense athletic activities, consider Salomon's performance-specific footwear.
How do I clean my white Salomon XT-Whisper Trainers?
For minor dirt, use a soft, damp cloth with mild soap. For deeper cleaning, remove insoles, brush off loose dirt, and gently scrub the mesh and rubber parts with warm water and mild detergent. Always air dry completely away from direct heat.
What are OrthoLite® insoles?
OrthoLite® insoles are high-performance insoles known for providing superior cushioning, unmatched comfort, breathability, and durability. They are designed to enhance the comfort and performance of your footwear.
Do these trainers fit true to size?
Salomon trainers generally fit true to size for most users. However, foot shape and personal preference can vary. We recommend trying them on or consulting Salomon's official sizing guide if you are unsure.
Troubleshooting
Quicklace™ feels too tight or too loose after adjustment.
Ensure the lace locker is fully engaged or disengaged. When tightening, pull firmly on the lace. When loosening, press the button on the locker and pull the laces outwards. Re-adjust until comfortable.
Foot feels uncomfortable or rubs in certain areas.
Check your sock choice; a different thickness or material might improve comfort. Ensure you have the correct size. Allow for a break-in period as new shoes can feel stiff initially. If discomfort persists, consider consulting a footwear specialist.
Trainers are getting dirty very quickly due to the white color.
Regularly spot clean your trainers after each use with a damp cloth to prevent dirt from setting in. For deeper cleaning, refer to the 'Care' section to wash the mesh and rubber surfaces.
Squeaking sound when walking.
A common cause is friction between the insole and the shoe's interior. Try removing the OrthoLite® insole, cleaning the area, and lightly sprinkling baby powder or cornstarch inside the shoe before reinserting the insole. If the sound persists, it might be due to the outsole, which typically resolves with wear.

Care
To maintain the appearance and longevity of your white Salomon XT-Whisper Trainers:
- Spot Cleaning: For minor dirt or scuffs, use a soft cloth dampened with mild soap and water. Gently rub the affected area.
- Deep Cleaning (Mesh/Rubber Upper):
- Remove laces and insoles.
- Brush off loose dirt with a soft brush.
- Prepare a solution of warm water and a small amount of mild detergent (e.g., dish soap).
- Using a soft brush or cloth, gently scrub the mesh and rubber surfaces.
- Rinse with a clean, damp cloth to remove soap residue.
- Insole Care: Hand wash the OrthoLite® insoles with mild soap and water, then air dry completely before reinserting.
