FAQs
Are the Salomon Speedcross 3 waterproof?
No, the standard Salomon Speedcross 3 is not a waterproof shoe. It is designed for breathability and quick drainage. For waterproof versions, look for models specifically advertised with Gore-Tex technology.
How do I adjust the Quicklace system?
Pull the laces to tighten and loosen them. Once adjusted, tuck the excess lace into the pocket on the tongue for a secure fit.
What type of terrain are these shoes best for?
These shoes are best suited for soft, muddy, or technical trails. The aggressive lugs provide excellent grip on loose and uneven surfaces.
Can I wear these for everyday walking?
While comfortable, the aggressive tread pattern is optimized for trails. For everyday walking on hard surfaces, they may feel stiffer and wear down faster than shoes designed for pavement.
How should I clean my Speedcross 3 shoes?
Brush off loose dirt. Use cool water and a soft brush for cleaning, and allow them to air dry away from direct heat.
What is the main benefit of the Contagrip® outsole?
The Contagrip® outsole provides a durable and reliable grip across a variety of surfaces, ensuring stability and traction in diverse trail conditions.
What UK size is this guide referring to?
This specific guide entry is for UK size 9.5, but the product is available in other sizes.
Troubleshooting
Laces not staying tight
Ensure the knot on the Quicklace system is tied securely. Check if the lace pocket is being used correctly to secure the excess lace.
Discomfort or rubbing
Ensure the correct size is being worn. Adjust the Quicklace tension. Wear with appropriate hiking socks. Break in the shoes on shorter walks before long hikes.
Reduced grip on certain surfaces
Clean the lugs of any accumulated mud or debris, as this can impair traction. Note that the aggressive tread is optimized for soft ground and may not perform as well on very smooth, wet rock or polished surfaces.
Water ingress
The Speedcross 3 is not a waterproof shoe. For very wet conditions, consider waterproof socks or a Gore-Tex version if available. Allow shoes to dry thoroughly after getting wet.
