FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for hiking?
While excellent for trail running, the Speedcross 6's aggressive design also makes them suitable for hiking on challenging and muddy terrain where superior grip is needed.
How do I choose the right size?
Refer to the sizing chart provided by Salomon. It is recommended to measure your foot and compare it to the chart. For trail running shoes, a snug but not tight fit is usually preferred, allowing for foot swelling.
Can I wear these in wet conditions?
Yes, the Speedcross 6 is designed to handle wet conditions and muddy trails effectively due to its grip and quick-drying materials.
What is the difference between the Speedcross 5 and Speedcross 6?
The Speedcross 6 features an updated design for improved durability and mud evacuation, often with minor adjustments to cushioning and fit for enhanced performance on soft ground.
How long do the laces last?
The Kevlar-based Quicklace™ system is designed for durability. Longevity depends on usage, but they are generally robust and resistant to abrasion.
Are these waterproof?
The Speedcross 6 is not a waterproof shoe. It is designed for breathability and quick drainage, making it ideal for wet, muddy conditions where full waterproofing can lead to waterlogging.
Troubleshooting
Laces loosening during activity
Ensure the Quicklace™ knot is tied securely. If it continues to loosen, try re-lacing the shoes with the Quicklace™ system to ensure optimal tension.
Discomfort on hard surfaces
The Speedcross 6 is optimized for soft terrain. For runs involving significant road or hard-packed surfaces, consider a shoe with a less aggressive tread pattern.
Mud accumulation in lugs
After use, use a brush or stick to gently remove packed mud from the deep lugs. A strong water jet can also help dislodge stubborn mud.
Reduced grip over time
Check the Contagrip® outsole for excessive wear. If worn, the grip will be compromised. Cleaning the lugs regularly can help maintain optimal traction.

Care:
