Product Information
Full details
The Salomon XT-Whisper trainers are designed for adults seeking a blend of comfort and performance on varied terrains. Their key benefit lies in the superior grip and cushioning offered by the technical sole and OrthoLite® insoles, ensuring stability during active use. A potential caveat is that the Quicklace system, while convenient, may require adjustment for a perfectly personalized fit for some users. These mesh-panel trainers feature a round toe, quick-lace fastening, and a chunky rubber sole, integrating SensiFit™ technology for a secure foot fit and a padded ankle collar for enhanced comfort.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for everyday wear?
While comfortable and offering good support, the XT-Whisper is primarily designed for athletic and outdoor activities due to its technical sole construction and grip features.
How do I clean the mesh part of the trainers?
Gently brush off loose dirt. Use a damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap and water to clean the mesh. Allow to air dry completely.
What is the main advantage of the Contagrip® outsole?
The Mud Contagrip® outsole is engineered to provide excellent traction and grip on a wide variety of surfaces, including wet, dry, hard, and loose ground, specifically excelling in muddy conditions.
Can the Quicklace system be replaced?
Yes, replacement Quicklace kits are generally available from Salomon or outdoor gear retailers if the original system becomes damaged or worn.
Are these trainers waterproof?
The trainers feature mesh paneling for breathability, which means they are not waterproof. They offer some water resistance but are not designed for submersion or heavy rain.
What does SensiFit™ technology do?
SensiFit™ technology works to cradle the foot from the midsole to the lacing system, providing a secure, snug, and precise fit that adapts to the contours of your foot.
Troubleshooting
Quicklace system feels too tight or loose.
Adjust the tension by pulling the lace ends. If still not right, untie the knot at the top of the lace and re-tie it, ensuring a snug but comfortable fit.
Traction is reduced on very slippery surfaces.
Ensure the Mud Contagrip® outsole is clean of mud and debris, as this can impact grip. For extreme conditions, consider specialized footwear.
Feet feel warm or sweaty during use.
The mesh offers breathability, but on very hot days, ensure you are wearing appropriate moisture-wicking socks. Allow shoes to air out after use.
Insoles feel uncomfortable after extended wear.
The OrthoLite® insoles provide cushioning. If discomfort persists, ensure the shoe fit is correct, as a poor fit can exacerbate discomfort. Consider aftermarket insoles if needed.
