FAQs
What is the main advantage of the XT-WHISPER EMBROIDERY's outsole?
The Mud contaGRIP® outsole features deep, multi-directional Chevron lugs specifically designed for maximum grip on soft, loose, rugged, and uneven surfaces, enhancing stability and confidence.
Are these shoes suitable for long-distance running?
While they offer good cushioning and support from the EnergyCell midsole and ACS, they are primarily designed for walking, casual wear, and light trail use. They are not optimized for the specific demands of long-distance road running.
How do I determine the correct size, given they run small?
It is strongly recommended to size up. If you normally wear a UK 9, consider trying a UK 9.5 or UK 10. Checking reviews or trying them on in person if possible is advised.
Can I wear these shoes in wet conditions?
The mesh and suede materials are not fully waterproof, but the OrthoLite® insole offers good moisture management. The outsole provides excellent grip on wet surfaces. For heavy rain, consider waterproof footwear.
What is the purpose of the Agile Chassis System (ACS)?
The ACS provides stability and dampening for your foot, working with the midsole to support your stride and offer a responsive feel, especially on uneven terrain.
How does the SensiFIT™ system contribute to the fit?
SensiFIT™ cradles the foot from the midsole to the lacing system, ensuring a precise and secure fit that enhances comfort and confidence during movement.
Are the embroidery details durable?
The intricate embroidery is designed to be a decorative element. While generally durable for normal wear, excessive abrasion or rough handling could potentially damage the stitching.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or small
The XT-WHISPER models tend to run small. We recommend sizing up by at least a half or full size for a more comfortable fit. If purchased, consider exchanging for a larger size.
Reduced grip on surfaces
Ensure the Mud contaGRIP® outsole is clean and free from debris, mud, or excessive wear. Deep-cleaning the lugs can restore their effectiveness on soft ground.
Discomfort or rubbing
Check that the laces are adjusted correctly to utilize the SensiFIT™ system. Ensure the OrthoLite® insole is properly seated. Wear with appropriate socks to minimize friction.
Suede material appearing dirty or stained
Gently brush the suede with a dedicated suede brush. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner or a damp cloth with mild soap, following with air drying and brushing.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt from the suede and mesh. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap and water. Avoid harsh detergents or machine washing, as this can damage the materials and construction.
- Drying: Air dry the trainers naturally at room temperature. Keep them away from direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, which can cause materials to crack or warp.
- Suede Care: For suede areas, consider using a suede protector spray to help repel water and stains. Brush suede sections with a suede brush to maintain their texture.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use to maintain their shape and condition.
