FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for everyday school wear?
While durable and comfortable, the aggressive tread and design are optimized for trail use. They can be worn casually, but their full capabilities are best utilized on outdoor adventures.
How do I know if I've chosen the correct size?
Refer to the size guide and measure your child's foot length. The shoes should offer a snug fit, especially in the midfoot and heel, with a little room for toe movement. It's recommended to try them on if possible.
Can the Quicklace system be replaced?
Yes, replacement Quicklace systems are available from Salomon or specialized retailers if the original becomes damaged or worn out.
How long does the Gore-Tex waterproofing typically last?
With proper care and cleaning, the Gore-Tex membrane's waterproof and breathable properties are designed to last the lifetime of the shoe.
Are these shoes suitable for very cold weather?
The Gore-Tex membrane offers protection against cold and wet conditions. However, for extreme cold with snow, insulated winter boots might be more appropriate.
What is the main difference between these and regular trainers?
The main differences lie in the aggressive tread pattern for superior grip on trails, enhanced protection features like the reinforced toe cap and mudguard, and the use of a waterproof membrane like Gore-Tex.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty tightening Quicklace system
Ensure the lace lock is fully engaged. If laces are frayed or damaged, they may not grip properly; consider replacing the Quicklace system.
Feet feel wet despite Gore-Tex
Check for leaks around seams or damage to the membrane. Ensure socks are also moisture-wicking. If the outer material is saturated, water can still transfer to the foot over time.
Traction is poor on certain surfaces
Clean the lugs on the outsole as debris can become lodged. The Contagrip technology is designed for specific terrains; performance may vary on extremely smooth or oily surfaces.
Shoes feel uncomfortable or tight
Verify the correct UK size has been selected. Ensure the Quicklace system is adjusted for a snug but not constricting fit. Consider the foot width; these are designed for a precise fit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The SPEEDCROSS shoes feature a Quicklace system. To tighten, pull the laces evenly. To loosen, pull up on the lace lock. Ensure the excess lace is tucked into the lace garage on the tongue to prevent snagging.
Compatibility: These shoes are designed for trail running, hiking, and general outdoor activities. They are compatible with various outdoor terrains including dirt, mud, rock, and wet surfaces.
Care:
- Remove loose dirt and debris with a soft brush.
- Clean the shoes using a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh detergents.
- Rinse thoroughly with clean water.
- Allow shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
- For the Gore-Tex membrane, occasional cleaning helps maintain its performance.
