Your Salomon XT-Whisper trainers are ready to wear right out of the box. The Quicklace™ System offers simple, one-pull tightening:
To Tighten: Pull the small plastic tab at the end of the laces upwards, away from the shoe, until the desired snugness is achieved.

To Loosen: Press the release button on the plastic tab and pull the tongue of the shoe forward to relax the lacing tension.

Maintaining the clean look and longevity of your XT-Whisper trainers, especially the white colorway, is straightforward:
Regular Cleaning: After each use, especially if used on trails, brush off loose dirt with a soft brush.
Spot Cleaning: For stubborn dirt or stains, use a mild soap (like dish soap) mixed with water and a soft cloth or sponge. Gently rub the affected area. Avoid harsh detergents.
Deep Cleaning: For overall cleaning, remove the OrthoLite® sockliner and hand wash the shoes with cool water and a mild detergent. You can use a soft brush to scrub the upper and sole.
Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can damage materials and adhesives.
Odor Control: If needed, remove the OrthoLite® sockliner and air it out. You can also use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight.
Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
