I Hate Clunky Sneakers, but These Comfy Salomon Shoes Have Convinced Me to Replace My Other Pairs

"I officially bought my first pair of XT-Whispers about a month ago after wearing them on a sportswear photoshoot I was in. These Salomons look great with any and all casualwear-I have worn them with joggers, sweatpants, oversized T-shirt-and-bike-short combos, leggings, and more. I think they look best paired with an ankle or higher sock to really lean into the silhouette's old-school design."

"Looks aside, it's their feel that stands out most. If I were only packing one pair of shoes for a trip, my Salomon sneakers would make the cut. These shoes required zero break-in time, which is ideal if you happen to purchase them right before your trip. The supportive construction and cushioned OrthoLite insoles make the shoe feel and look like it's customized to my foot, which is probably why I fell in love with it so quickly."

"Since I'm always on the go, the laceless lifestyle is definitely for me, and after testing these Salmon shoes, I fear I cannot go back. Usually, after a month of wear, my shoelaces are already super dirty or knotted to the point of no return, but with Salomon's Quicklace style, I just put on my shoe, tighten slightly, and go."

Salomon XT-Whispers deliver a versatile, retro athletic look that pairs well with joggers, sweatpants, oversized T-shirt-and-bike-short combos, and leggings. The shoes require zero break-in time and feature supportive construction with cushioned OrthoLite insoles that create a customized feel. The Quicklace laceless system enables fast on-off convenience and cleaner wear over time. A lug-like outsole provides sharp, high-traction grip comparable to a hiking boot while remaining lightweight and not bulky. The shoes perform well for daily active use and travel, making them reliable, stylish walking footwear that encourages buying additional pairs.
