FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the XT-Whisper utilizes a breathable mesh upper which allows for airflow but is not designed to be water-resistant or waterproof.
Can I use these for long-distance trail running?
They are suitable for light trail use and casual hiking, though dedicated long-distance trail runners may prefer more specific high-support models.
How do I replace the laces?
The Quicklace system is proprietary; if a replacement is needed, ensure you use official Salomon repair kits designed for this specific system.
Are these true to size?
Most users find them true to size, but we recommend measuring your feet while wearing the socks you intend to use with the trainers.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
It is not recommended, as machine washing and drying can damage the adhesive and structural components of the shoe; hand washing is preferred.
Troubleshooting
Quicklace system feels loose or slips
Ensure the lace lock is pushed all the way down toward the tongue and check that the lace ends are properly tucked.
Accumulation of debris inside the shoe
Check that the tongue is pulled straight and the mesh is not stretched; consider wearing gaiters if moving through heavy brush.
Insole sliding during use
Remove the insole, ensure there is no trapped debris, and reseat it firmly within the heel cup.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best fit, pull the Quicklace system evenly to ensure tension is distributed across the top of the foot. Use the lace pouch on the tongue to tuck away any excess cord to prevent snagging. For maintenance, remove dirt after every use with a soft-bristled brush. If the trainers get wet, remove the insoles and let them air dry in a well-ventilated area—avoid placing them directly on heaters or in direct sunlight, as high heat can degrade the midsole cushioning over time. If they require a deep clean, use mild soap and lukewarm water, then air dry completely.
