Full details
The Salomon XT-Whisper is a versatile trainer engineered for active adults who demand a blend of protection and responsive comfort during outdoor movement.

FAQs
Are the Salomon XT-Whisper shoes waterproof?
The trainers feature a protective mesh to keep debris out, but they are not categorized as fully waterproof.
Can I replace the OrthoLite insole?
Yes, the OrthoLite insole is removable and can be replaced with custom orthotics if required.
Are these suitable for road running?
While they can be used on roads, their design is optimized for trail terrain; excessive road use may cause premature wear to the chevron lugs.
How should I store them?
Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation.
What is the primary function of the Agile Chassis System?
It provides stability and maintains the shoe's shape during uneven movement to prevent ankle rolling.
Is the sizing true to size?
Salomon sizing is generally standard, but it is recommended to consider your typical athletic shoe size or try them on with the socks you intend to wear.
Troubleshooting
Foot slipping inside the shoe during movement
Ensure the laces are tensioned correctly across the midfoot; verify that the insole is flat and properly seated.
Loss of traction on wet surfaces
Clean the outsole lugs to remove packed dirt, pebbles, or debris that may be preventing the rubber from contacting the ground.
Material appearing worn after minimal use
Check if the shoes are being used on abrasive surfaces like concrete for extended periods, as the outsole is specifically designed for soft trail terrain.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Salomon XT-Whisper trainers, proper care is essential. Always remove loose mud or dirt after each outing using a soft-bristled brush, as dried mud can degrade the mesh fibers over time. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap; avoid submerging the shoes in water or using a washing machine, which can compromise the structural integrity of the `Agile Chassis`. Ensure the shoes are air-dried in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can warp the midsole cushioning materials.
