FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The Sensifit system aims to provide a secure fit, but the width can feel snug for some. Adjusting the Quicklace system can offer some relief, but individuals with very wide feet might find them restrictive. It is recommended to try them on if possible.
How do I adjust the Quicklace system?
To tighten, pull the laces upwards with the toggle. To loosen, pull the lace ends while holding the toggle. To fully release, push the toggle upwards.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, adhesives, and structural integrity of the trainers. Hand washing with mild soap and water is the preferred method.
What is the primary intended use for the XT-Whisper?
The XT-Whisper is designed as a versatile shoe suitable for trail running, hiking, and general outdoor or everyday activities where reliable grip, support, and comfort are needed.
How durable are the Contagrip outsoles?
Contagrip outsoles are known for their durability and are engineered to withstand various terrains. However, like all outsoles, their lifespan depends on the frequency of use, terrain type, and maintenance.
What is the benefit of the Agile Chassis System?
The Agile Chassis System provides enhanced stability and protection on uneven and technical terrain, helping to control the foot's motion and reduce fatigue during long-distance activities.
Troubleshooting
Laces not tightening properly
Ensure the Quicklace toggle is fully released before putting the shoe on. Try re-threading the lace through the toggle if it appears damaged or is not catching.
Discomfort or rubbing
The shoe may require a break-in period. Ensure socks are appropriate and cover the potential rub points. Adjust the Quicklace tension for a more personalized fit.
Reduced grip on slippery surfaces
Inspect the Contagrip outsole for wear or embedded debris. Clean the outsole thoroughly. If significant wear is visible, the outsole may be nearing the end of its lifespan.
Foot odor
Remove insoles and air them out separately. Wash insoles with mild soap and water. Ensure shoes are dried thoroughly between wears. Consider using anti-odor sprays or powders.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: These trainers are suitable for unisex adult use and are designed for a range of activities including trail running, hiking, and general fitness. They are compatible with standard athletic socks.
Care:
- Cleaning Uppers: Use a soft brush or cloth with cool water and mild soap to gently clean the mesh and synthetic materials. Avoid harsh detergents.
- Cleaning Insoles: Removable Ortholite insoles can be hand-washed with mild soap and water and air-dried completely. Ensure they are fully dry before reinserting to prevent odor.
- Cleaning Outsoles: Remove any accumulated mud or debris with a brush. If necessary, use water and a soft brush.
- Drying: Always air dry your trainers away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can damage the materials. Stuffing with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape during drying.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use.
