FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
The Salomon XT-Whisper trainers offer good water resistance due to their materials and construction, but they are not fully waterproof. They are designed to handle wet conditions and dry relatively quickly.
How do I best clean the Mud Contagrip® sole?
Use a stiff brush or an old toothbrush to remove mud and debris from the sole's lugs. Rinse with water if necessary, but avoid using soap or high-pressure water, which can degrade the rubber compound over time.
What is the purpose of the SensiFit™ technology?
SensiFit™ is designed to securely hold the foot in place, from the midsole to the lacing system. It provides a precise and stable fit, enhancing agility and reducing the risk of internal foot movement.
Can I replace the OrthoLite® sockliner?
Yes, the OrthoLite® sockliner is removable and can be replaced with custom orthotics if needed. Ensure any replacement fits snugly within the shoe's footbed.
What kind of terrain are these trainers best suited for?
These trainers are ideal for technical trails, muddy paths, loose ground, and mixed terrain where superior grip and a secure fit are essential.
How do I adjust the Quicklace™ system for the first time?
Simply pull both ends of the laces evenly until the shoe feels snug. Then, tuck the excess lace ends into the small pocket on the top of the tongue to keep them secure and out of the way.
Troubleshooting
Laces won't tighten or loosen properly
Ensure the Quicklace™ mechanism is clean and free of debris. If it's stiff, try gently working it back and forth. If damaged, consider replacing the Quicklace™ system.
Discomfort or hot spots during wear
Adjust the Quicklace™ tension for a more personalized fit. Ensure the tongue is centered. If the issue persists, the shoes may require a break-in period, or they might not be the correct size/shape for your foot.
Traction seems reduced on certain surfaces
Clean the Mud Contagrip® sole to remove any embedded mud or debris that could be hindering grip. The outsole's grip is optimized for specific conditions; performance may vary on highly polished or extremely smooth surfaces.
Shoes feel waterlogged after wet use
Allow shoes to air dry completely. While the materials offer some water resistance, they are not fully waterproof. Ensure proper drying to maintain comfort and material integrity.

Compatibility: Designed for trail running, hiking, and general outdoor activities. Compatible with most weather conditions, particularly wet and muddy environments.
Care:
- Remove excess dirt and mud with a dry brush.
- Clean the shoes using a damp cloth or a soft brush with cold water. Avoid using harsh detergents or soaking the shoes.
