FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for wide feet?
The SensiFit™ construction aims for a secure and adaptable fit. However, individuals with significantly wide feet might find them snug. Trying them on is recommended if possible.
Can I use these for long-distance running?
While comfortable for moderate distances and trail running, the low-profile design and cushioning are optimized for versatility rather than extreme long-distance road running. For marathon distances on pavement, specialized running shoes might be more appropriate.
How do I clean the Mud Contagrip® sole?
Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt. For stubborn mud, a damp cloth with mild soap can be used. Ensure all soap residue is rinsed off.
What is the primary benefit of the SensiFit™ technology?
SensiFit™ cradles the foot for a precise and secure fit, enhancing stability and reducing internal foot movement within the shoe.
How often should I clean my trainers?
Clean your trainers as needed, especially after use in muddy or dirty conditions. Regular light cleaning helps maintain their performance and lifespan.
Can the laces be replaced if they get damaged?
Yes, the Quicklace™ system is designed for replaceable laces. You can typically purchase compatible replacement laces from outdoor or sporting goods retailers.
Troubleshooting
Laces won't tighten or loosen properly
Ensure the Quicklace™ toggle is fully engaged. Check the lace channels for any debris that might be obstructing the mechanism. If the lace is frayed, it may need replacement.
Discomfort or rubbing around the ankle
Adjust the Quicklace™ tension to find a more comfortable fit. Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. The padded cuff may require a short break-in period.
Reduced grip on slippery surfaces
Clean the Mud Contagrip® sole of any mud, dirt, or debris. Inspect the sole for significant wear. For very slick surfaces, grip may be naturally limited.
Cushioning feels insufficient
Ensure the OrthoLite® sockliner is correctly positioned. Consider if the activity demands more specialized cushioning. The cushioning is designed for a balance of responsiveness and comfort.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: The XT-Whisper is designed for a wide range of outdoor activities. They are compatible with standard socks and suitable for various terrains, from trails to urban environments.
Care: To maintain the condition of your trainers:
- Cleaning: Remove excess dirt with a brush. Use a damp cloth with mild soap to clean the upper and midsole. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents.
- Drying: Air dry the trainers away from direct heat sources. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use.
