FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for heavy hiking?
The XT-Whisper trainers are ideal for long walks and light trekking. For challenging, technical, or heavy hiking with significant elevation changes, a more specialized hiking boot might be recommended.
How do I clean the mesh upper?
Gently clean the mesh upper with a damp cloth and mild soap. Allow the shoes to air dry completely away from direct heat.
What is the advantage of the Quicklace system?
The Quicklace system allows for fast, one-pull tightening and loosening of the laces, providing a secure and customized fit quickly and easily, which is convenient for on-the-go adjustments.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
The materials offer some resistance to light moisture, and the Contagrip outsole provides good traction on wet surfaces. However, they are not waterproof, so they are best suited for dry to moderately wet conditions.
What does 'genderless' mean in this context?
Genderless means the shoe is designed to be worn by individuals of any gender. The sizing and fit are based on standard foot measurements rather than gender-specific lasts.
How does the Sensifit technology improve comfort?
Sensifit technology is an external overlay system that cradles the foot from the midsole to the lacing system, providing a precise and secure fit that enhances stability and comfort.
What kind of support do the OrthoLite insoles provide?
OrthoLite insoles offer excellent cushioning for comfort during prolonged wear, combined with breathability and moisture-wicking properties to keep feet dry and comfortable.
Troubleshooting
Quicklace system is difficult to tighten or loosen
Check the lace channels and the toggle mechanism for any dirt or debris. Gently clean with a damp cloth and ensure the laces move freely.
Shoes feel too tight or loose despite lacing adjustments
Ensure your socks are of a standard thickness. Try adjusting the lacing knot or the position of the toggle. Consider if the shoe size is appropriate for your foot width.
Traction seems reduced on wet surfaces
The Contagrip outsole provides good traction but may perform differently on extremely wet or polished surfaces. Ensure the outsole is clean from mud or grit, as this can impact grip.
Uppers appear dirty or stained
Use a mild soap and a damp cloth to gently clean the mesh material. For stubborn stains, a specialized shoe cleaner for synthetic materials may be used sparingly.
