Full details
The Salomon XT-Whisper Trainers are designed for active adults seeking a versatile, mid-profile shoe that offers superior comfort and exceptional grip. Ideal for those who transition between different terrains or activities, these trainers provide excellent cushioning and secure lacing for a reliable fit. A potential consideration is that the mid-profile design may offer less ankle support than a full high-top trainer.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for trail running?
Yes, the Mud Contagrip® sole provides excellent traction for various trail conditions, and the Quicklace™ system allows for quick adjustments, making them suitable for trail running.
How do I clean the Ortholite® sockliner?
The sockliner can be removed and cleaned separately with a damp cloth and mild soap. Ensure it is fully dry before reinserting it into the shoe.
What is the primary benefit of the Mud Contagrip® sole?
The primary benefit is maximum grip on all surfaces, especially designed for challenging and muddy terrains, ensuring stability and preventing slips.
Can the Quicklace™ system be replaced if it breaks?
Yes, replacement Quicklace™ kits are available for purchase and can be used to repair or replace the lacing system if it becomes damaged.
Is the polyester material breathable?
The polyester material offers a degree of breathability. Combined with the Ortholite® sockliner, it aims to provide comfort during active use, though extreme heat may be a factor for some users.
What does 'mid-profile design' mean for support?
A mid-profile design covers the ankle bone but does not extend significantly above it. It offers more support than a low-cut shoe but less than a high-top boot, balancing flexibility and stability.
Troubleshooting
Quicklace™ system is too tight or too loose
Adjust the tension by sliding the toggle. For a more permanent fit, you can re-tie the knot at the end of the lacing system. Ensure the cord is threaded correctly through all eyelets.
Reduced grip or slipping
Clean the Mud Contagrip® sole thoroughly to remove mud, dirt, or debris that may be hindering traction. Check for any significant wear on the sole pattern.
Discomfort or rubbing around the cuff
Ensure the Quicklace™ system is not overtightened, which can cause pressure points. Wear appropriate socks that provide cushioning and prevent chafing.
Shoes taking a long time to dry
Remove insoles and allow them to dry separately. Use newspaper to absorb excess moisture. Avoid using direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials.
