FAQs

What is the primary intended use for the Salomon XT-Whisper trainers?

These trainers are designed for versatility, suitable for everyday wear, light hiking, and various outdoor activities that require reliable grip and support.

How do I adjust the Quicklace system?

To tighten, simply pull the lace toggles upwards. To loosen, lift the toggle. Tuck excess laces into the lace garage on the tongue.

Are these trainers waterproof?

The XT-Whisper trainers are not explicitly designed to be waterproof, but the Polyester and Nylon materials offer some resistance to light moisture. For true waterproof protection, consider models with Gore-Tex membranes.

Can I replace the Ortholite insoles?

Yes, the Ortholite insoles can be removed and replaced with custom orthotics or other preferred insoles, provided they are of a similar size and thickness.

What is the benefit of the Agile Chassis System?

The Agile Chassis System provides enhanced stability and support on uneven terrain, helping to protect your foot and improve overall performance during outdoor activities.

How should I clean the trainers?

Clean with a soft brush to remove loose dirt, and use a damp cloth with mild soap and water for deeper cleaning. Always air dry and avoid machine washing.

What does 'Sensifit' mean in the context of these trainers?

Sensifit refers to the system that cradles the foot from the midsole up to the lacing system, providing a secure, snug, and personalized fit.

Troubleshooting

Quicklace system not tightening properly

Ensure the lace channels are clear of debris. Check that the toggle mechanism is functioning smoothly. If frayed, the lace may need replacement.

Discomfort or pressure points

Adjust the Quicklace system for a more even distribution of pressure. Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. If the issue persists, the sizing might not be ideal for your foot shape.

Reduced grip on wet surfaces

Clean the Contagrip outsole to remove any embedded dirt or mud that may be affecting traction. Worn-out tread can also reduce grip and may require replacement of the shoes.

Material showing signs of wear

Inspect seams and stress points. Minor wear is normal, but significant fraying might indicate excessive use or inappropriate activity for the shoe's design. Follow care instructions to prolong material life.

Care: To maintain your XT-Whisper trainers:

  1. Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap and water. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents.
  2. Drying: Allow trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid storing in direct sunlight for extended periods.
