FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the XT-Whisper is constructed with breathable mesh for airflow, meaning they are water-resistant but not fully waterproof.
Can I replace the Quicklace system?
Yes, the Quicklace system is a modular component that can be replaced if the cord wears out over time.
Are these suitable for long-distance running?
While capable of light running, these are primarily categorized as trainers for everyday use and moderate trail walking.
How should I clean the exterior mesh?
Use a damp cloth and mild soap to gently spot clean the mesh. Avoid soaking the shoes or using harsh detergents.
Do these shoes provide arch support?
They feature a cushioned midsole that provides neutral support suitable for most foot shapes.
Troubleshooting
Laces feel too loose during activity
Ensure the lace toggle is fully pushed down against the eyelet structure and the excess lace is properly tucked into the tongue pocket.
Insole sliding or bunching
Remove the insole, clean the footbed of any grit, and ensure the insole is dry and properly seated before re-inserting.
Excessive dirt accumulation in lugs
Use a stiff-bristled brush to clear the gaps in the Contagrip outsole after the shoes have partially dried.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Getting the most out of your XT-Whisper trainers begins with the proper use of the Quicklace system. To secure, pull the lace tight and slide the toggle toward the tongue until snug, then tuck the excess lace into the dedicated pocket on the tongue. For maintenance, remove mud or debris after every outdoor excursion using a soft brush. If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry at room temperature; avoid placing them near direct heat sources like radiators or fireplaces, as high heat can degrade the foam midsole and adhesive bonds. The trainers are not machine washable, as agitation can damage the structural integrity of the supportive overlays.
