Details & care
The iconic XT-Whisper running shoe has been reimagined to reflect the most arid, relentless and unique ecosystem on the planet, the desert landscape. A scuffed leather effect mimicking sand-worn surfaces and snakeskin embossing on the toe, heel and tongue give this sneaker a rugged yet defined look. A futuristic mesh cage adds breathability and embodies the resilience of this harsh terrain.

Disappointing
The sizing is bigger than previous Solomons I’ve purchased, could have gone half a size down. Love the colour and mix of materials. Also disappointing to learn that these are not water proof. They show up as waterproof on google but are not.

Love the look, size was off
Love the colour combo, looks cool. The fit is off even though I followed the size guide and have owned a pair before.
