FAQs

How do I clean my Salomon XT-Whisper Trainers?

Gently wipe the surfaces with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Avoid submerging them in water or using a washing machine. Allow them to air dry completely away from direct heat.

Are these trainers suitable for running?

These trainers are designed for everyday wear and light athletic activities such as brisk walking or light jogging. For dedicated, high-intensity running or trail running, Salomon offers other models specifically engineered for those purposes.

What is the Quicklace™ system?

Quicklace™ is Salomon's minimalistic and strong lace for one-pull tightening. This innovative system allows for easy on-and-off and quick adjustments for a secure and customized fit on the go.

Do Salomon XT-Whisper trainers fit true to size?

Salomon trainers generally fit true to size. However, fit can vary slightly based on individual foot shape. We recommend referring to Salomon's official sizing chart if you are unsure, or trying them on if possible.

Can I replace the Quicklace™ system if it gets damaged?

Yes, replacement Quicklace™ kits are available from Salomon and authorized retailers. The system is designed to be replaceable if needed, ensuring the longevity of your trainers.

What is SensiFit™?

SensiFit™ is a technology that cradles the foot from the midsole to the lacing system, providing a secure, snug, and virtually customized fit all around the foot. It enhances stability and comfort.

What is OrthoLite®?

OrthoLite® is a high-performance insole technology used in the footbed. It provides superior cushioning, breathability, and moisture management, ensuring long-lasting comfort inside the shoe.

Troubleshooting

Quicklace™ feels too loose or too tight.

Adjust the tension. Pull the cord further to tighten, or pinch the stopper and pull the tongue forward to loosen until you achieve a comfortable and secure fit. Ensure the excess cord is tucked into the pocket.

Foot feels uncomfortable or slips inside the shoe.

Check your sock choice; thick or thin socks can alter fit. Ensure the Quicklace™ is evenly tightened across your foot. Allow a brief break-in period for the shoe to mold to your foot. Verify you have the correct size.

Trainers appear dirty or stained quickly.

The light color can show dirt more easily. Clean regularly with a damp cloth and mild soap. For stubborn spots, a soft brush can be used gently. Consider using a shoe protector spray suitable for mesh materials.

Squeaking sound when walking.

This can sometimes be caused by the insole rubbing against the inside of the shoe. Try removing the OrthoLite® footbed and cleaning under it. You can also try lightly dusting the inside of the shoe (beneath the insole) with talcum powder to reduce friction. If the squeak persists, it might be the outsole, which typically resolves with wear.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Convenient Quicklace™ System: Allows for very fast donning and doffing, and on-the-fly fit adjustments.
  • Exceptional Comfort: The OrthoLite® footbed provides excellent cushioning for prolonged wear.
  • Secure & Precise Fit: SensiFit™ ensures the foot is held snugly and comfortably.
  • Durable Construction: Built to withstand regular everyday use and light activities.
  • Versatile Style: Suitable for both casual daily wear and light athletic pursuits.

Cons

  • Specific Lacing System: The Quicklace™ system may not be preferred by those accustomed to traditional laces.

  • Color Maintenance: The light Vanilla/White color may require more frequent cleaning to maintain its appearance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Using your Salomon XT-Whisper trainers is straightforward thanks to the Quicklace™ system:

  1. To Tighten: Pull the `Quicklace` cord upwards until the desired tension is achieved. Push the plastic stopper down towards the shoe's tongue to secure the laces.
  2. To Release: Pinch the stopper, lifting it away from the shoe's tongue, then pull the tongue forward to loosen the laces.
  3. Storage: Tuck the excess `Quicklace` cord into the small elastic pocket on the tongue to prevent snagging.

Compatibility

  • Unisex Design: These trainers are designed for adult unisex wear, suitable for both men and women.
  • Activity Suitability: Ideal for everyday casual wear, urban exploration, light walking, and low-impact athletic activities.
  • Footwear: Best worn with athletic socks for optimal comfort and moisture wicking.

Care Instructions

To ensure the longevity and appearance of your Salomon XT-Whisper Trainers:

  1. Cleaning: Wipe the mesh and rubber surfaces with a damp cloth and mild soap (if necessary). Avoid harsh detergents.
  2. Drying: Allow the trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can damage materials.
  3. Storage: Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Avoid storing them in damp environments.
  4. Insoles: The OrthoLite® footbeds are removable and can be aired out separately to maintain freshness.
  5. Avoid Machine Washing: Do not machine wash your trainers, as this can compromise their structural integrity and materials.
