FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for long-distance running?

While the XT-Whisper Void trainers offer excellent comfort and grip for varied terrains, they are primarily designed for light trail walking, urban exploration, and everyday wear, rather than dedicated long-distance running. For intense running, Salomon offers other specialized models.

Can I replace the Quicklace™ system if it breaks?

Yes, Salomon offers replacement Quicklace™ kits. Instructions for replacement are usually included with the kit or available on the Salomon website.

Are these trainers waterproof?

The Salomon XT-Whisper Void trainers feature layered mesh for breathability and are not explicitly designed to be waterproof. They offer some resistance to light splashes but are not intended for heavy rain or submersion.

How do I find my correct size if I'm not sure about UK sizing?

It's recommended to consult a general shoe size conversion chart or try them on to ensure the UK 5 size fits you comfortably. Measure your foot length and compare it to Salomon's size guide if available.

What is SensiFIT™?

SensiFIT™ is a system designed to cradle the foot from the midsole to the lacing system, providing a secure, snug, and virtually customized fit all around the foot.

Troubleshooting

Quicklace™ feels too loose or too tight.

Adjust the toggle slowly. For a looser fit, push the toggle down towards the shoe and pull the excess lace out from the top eyelets. For a tighter fit, pull the toggle upwards.

Trainer feels slippery on certain surfaces.

Clean the Contagrip® outsole thoroughly to remove any caked-on mud or debris that might reduce traction. Check the tread for excessive wear, which could indicate it's time for replacement.

Foot discomfort or rubbing during wear.

Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. Verify that the sizing is correct for your foot (UK 5). Allow for a brief break-in period if they are new. Re-adjust the Quicklace™ system for even pressure distribution across your foot.

Trainers retain odor.

Remove the OrthoLite® sockliner and air it out separately. Use a shoe deodorizer spray or insert cedar blocks when not in use. Ensure trainers are fully dry after each use.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Versatile Design: Seamlessly transitions from light trail activities to casual urban wear.
  • Excellent Traction: Contagrip® outsole provides reliable grip on diverse surfaces, including slippery or muddy conditions.
  • Secure & Comfortable Fit: SensiFIT™ and OrthoLite® sockliner ensure a snug, breathable, and cushioned experience.
  • Quick Lacing System: Quicklace™ allows for fast, easy, and consistent adjustments.
  • Durable Construction: Built with robust materials for lasting performance.

Cons

  • Specialized Lacing: The Quicklace™ system may require a short adjustment period for users unfamiliar with it.
  • Color Maintenance: The white (Vanilla Ice) colorway may require more frequent cleaning to maintain its pristine appearance.
  • Specific Sizing: Available in UK size 5, limiting fit options to this specific size.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

  1. Putting On: Loosen the Quicklace™ toggle, slide your foot into the trainer.
  2. Tightening: Pull the Quicklace™ toggle upwards, away from the foot, until the desired snugness is achieved.
  3. Securing: Tuck the excess lace and toggle into the lace pocket located on the tongue of the shoe to prevent snagging.

Compatibility

  • User: Designed for adults, unisex wearers.
  • Size: Specifically UK size 5.
  • Terrain: Suitable for diverse terrains including urban environments, light trails, parks, and general outdoor exploration. Not specifically designed for heavy-duty hiking or intense trail running, but can handle varied ground.

Care

  • Cleaning Uppers: Gently wipe the synthetic uppers with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  • Cleaning Outsoles: Use a brush (like an old toothbrush) and water to remove dirt and mud from the Contagrip® outsole, especially from the lugs.
  • Drying: Allow trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, which can damage materials.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, to maintain material integrity.
  • Quicklace™ Maintenance: Periodically check the Quicklace™ system for any debris and ensure the toggle moves smoothly. Clean with a damp cloth if necessary.
