Product Information

Full details

The Salomon XT-Whisper GTX Trainers are ideal for outdoor enthusiasts and urban explorers who require reliable protection against wet weather without compromising on style. Bringing back a beloved 2009 design, these trainers offer superior foot stability and cushioning, though users should note that the GORE-TEX membrane makes them less breathable than standard non-waterproof mesh sneakers during high-intensity summer activities.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Are these shoes fully waterproof?

Yes, they feature a GORE-TEX membrane designed to be completely waterproof while allowing moisture vapor to escape.

Can I use these for running?

While they are comfortable, they are designed as trainers. They are suitable for light jogging, but not recommended for high-performance track running.

How do I clean the GORE-TEX membrane?

Use lukewarm water and a soft brush or cloth to remove surface dirt. Do not use harsh detergents or bleach.

Do these shoes run true to size?

They generally follow standard UK sizing, but if you prefer wearing thicker socks, consider half a size up.

What is the primary difference between the XT-Whisper and XT-Whisper GTX?

The GTX version includes a waterproof GORE-TEX membrane, whereas the standard XT-Whisper does not.

Troubleshooting

Feeling too tight around the midfoot

Loosen the lacing system completely, then re-tension from the bottom up to allow the Sensifit application to adjust to your specific foot volume.

Foot overheating during use

Ensure you are using moisture-wicking synthetic or merino wool socks rather than cotton, which traps sweat inside the waterproof membrane.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent wet-weather protection thanks to GORE-TEX
  • Stable and supportive ride for long-distance walking
  • Distinctive heritage aesthetic from the 2009 original
  • Secure fit provided by the Sensifit technology
  • Enhanced visibility in low light

Cons

  • Lower breathability compared to non-GTX models
  • Stiffer feel due to the Agile Chassis System
  • Heavier than lightweight racing trainers

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your XT-Whisper GTX trainers, avoid machine washing, which can damage the GORE-TEX membrane. Instead, wipe the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap. If the shoes become soaked, remove the insoles and let them air dry in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources like radiators, as high heat can warp the midsole. When sizing, note that Salomon typically uses standard UK sizing; ensure you have a thumbnail's width of space at the front to prevent toe pressure during descents.
