Product Information
Full details

Offering excellent grip and a secure fit, a potential drawback is the specialized Quicklace system which may require adjustment for those accustomed to traditional laces.

FAQs
What type of terrain are the Salomon XT-Whisper best suited for?
These trainers are best suited for muddy, loose, soft, and uneven terrain, thanks to their specialized Mud contaGRIP outsole and Chevron lugs.
How do I adjust the Quicklace system?
Pull the lace lock upwards to tighten the laces and press the button on the lace lock to loosen them. Tuck the excess lace into the pocket on the tongue.
Are these shoes waterproof?
The XT-Whisper features anti-debris mesh uppers, which are breathable but not fully waterproof. They offer some resistance to water and debris but are not designed for submersion.
Can I replace the OrthoLite insoles?
Yes, the OrthoLite die-cut sockliner is removable, allowing you to replace it with custom orthotics if needed.
What is the purpose of the Sensifit technology?
Sensifit works to cradle the foot from the midsole to the lacing system, providing a secure and precise fit that enhances overall stability and comfort.
How should I clean my XT-Whisper trainers?
Brush off loose dirt and use a soft brush with cool water and mild soap for cleaning. Allow them to air dry naturally away from heat sources.
Are these trainers suitable for everyday wear on pavement?
While comfortable, the XT-Whisper's tread pattern is optimized for trail conditions. For extensive pavement use, consider shoes designed specifically for road running.
Troubleshooting
Quicklace system is too tight or loose
Adjust the lace lock by pulling firmly to tighten or pressing the release button to loosen. Ensure the lace ends are secured in the lace pocket.
Debris still entering the shoe
Ensure the Quicklace system is tightened securely and the lace pocket is properly closed. Consider using gaiters for extremely debris-heavy conditions.
Reduced grip on wet surfaces
The Contagrip outsole is designed for traction but can be affected by very smooth, wet surfaces. Ensure the lugs are clear of mud and debris, as this can impact performance.
Shoes feel stiff after cleaning
Ensure the shoes are air-dried naturally and not exposed to direct heat. Allow time for the materials to regain flexibility.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
These trainers come ready to wear. The primary setup involves adjusting the Quicklace system to your preferred tightness. To tighten, pull the lace lock firmly. To loosen, press the button on the lace lock. Tuck the lace ends into the lace pocket on the tongue to prevent them from snagging.
Compatibility:
The XT-Whisper is designed for outdoor trail use. It is compatible with various types of terrain, including mud, dirt, gravel, and rocky paths. It is not specifically designed for road running or highly technical climbing.
Care:
- Cleaning: After use, brush off loose dirt and mud. For deeper cleaning, use a soft brush or cloth with cool water and mild soap. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
