FAQs
Do these trainers run true to size?
No, the Salomon XT-Whisper trainers tend to run small. It is recommended to size up by at least a half size for a more comfortable fit.
What type of terrain are these best suited for?
They are excellent for soft, loose, rugged, and uneven surfaces due to the Mud contaGRIP® outsole with Chevron lugs. They are also suitable for light hiking and general trail use.
Can I wear these for everyday casual use?
Yes, the combination of breathable mesh, suede details, and intricate embroidery makes them stylish for everyday casual wear, especially during warmer months.
How do I clean the suede parts of the trainers?
Use a specialized suede brush to remove dry dirt. For stains, a damp cloth with mild soap can be used, followed by air drying. Avoid soaking the suede.
What is the purpose of the Agile Chassis System?
The Agile Chassis System provides stability and dampening for your foot, working with the midsole to offer a controlled and comfortable stride, particularly on varied terrain.
Are these trainers waterproof?
These trainers are designed with breathable mesh and are not waterproof. They are ideal for warm weather and offer ventilation, but will not protect against heavy rain or submersion in water.
What material is the midsole made of?
The midsole is constructed with EnergyCell, designed to provide superior cushioning and energy return, contributing to comfort during extended wear.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or small.
The XT-Whisper line runs small. We recommend trying a half or full size up from your usual size. Ensure laces are adjusted correctly for a comfortable fit.
Reduced grip on surfaces.
Clean the Mud contaGRIP® outsole thoroughly. Debris or mud packed into the lugs can significantly reduce traction. Check for wear and tear on the outsole.
Discomfort or rubbing.
Ensure laces are evenly tightened to utilize the SensiFIT™ system effectively. The OrthoLite® sockliner and insole should provide cushioning; consider if the sizing is correct.
Mesh appears dirty or stained.
Gently clean the mesh with a damp cloth and mild soap. Allow to air dry. Avoid harsh chemicals that could degrade the material.

The OrthoLite® die-cut sockliner is pre-shaped for the shoe's interior.

Care:
- Cleaning: Use a damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt from the suede and mesh uppers. For more stubborn dirt, a soft brush can be used with mild soap and water. Avoid machine washing.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can damage the materials.
- Suede Care: For suede sections, a specialized suede brush can help maintain texture and remove dry dirt.
- Outsole: Periodically check the Mud contaGRIP® lugs for debris and clean them to ensure optimal traction.
