FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for road running?
While they can be used for short distances on pavement, the Speedcross Peak Gore-Tex is primarily designed for off-road trails. The aggressive tread pattern may feel less comfortable and wear faster on hard surfaces.
How do I ensure the best fit?
Try them on with the type of socks you typically use for trail running. Ensure there is adequate room in the toe box for your toes to splay, and that the heel feels secure without slipping.
Can I wear these in snow?
Yes, the GORE-TEX waterproofing and the tread pattern offer good performance in snow, keeping your feet dry and providing traction. However, they are not insulated winter boots.
What is the difference between Speedcross Peak and other Speedcross models?
The Speedcross Peak models often feature enhanced cushioning and specific upper constructions for greater comfort and protection on longer or more demanding runs, along with the Gore-Tex waterproofing.
How long does the waterproofing last?
The GORE-TEX membrane is designed for durability. With proper care, the waterproof properties should last for the lifespan of the shoe. Regular cleaning and avoiding damage will help maintain performance.
Are these shoes true to size?
Sizing can vary slightly between brands and models. It is recommended to consult the size chart and try them on if possible, or consider ordering your usual size and being prepared to exchange if the fit is not right.
Troubleshooting
Feet feel wet despite Gore-Tex.
Ensure the shoes are properly laced and that no water has entered through the top opening. Check for any damage to the GORE-TEX membrane.
Discomfort or rubbing.
Verify you have the correct size and width. Try adjusting the lacing system to find a more comfortable fit. Ensure socks are appropriate for trail running.
Reduced grip on certain surfaces.
The aggressive tread is optimized for soft ground. Clean the lugs to remove mud or debris. For hard, wet surfaces, grip may be reduced compared to road shoes.
Shoes feel too warm.
The waterproof membrane can reduce breathability. Consider wearing moisture-wicking socks. For very hot conditions, a non-waterproof shoe might be preferable.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: These trail running shoes are designed for off-road use, including dirt trails, mud, gravel, and rocky terrain. They are suitable for hiking and moderate running.
Care:
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush. For more thorough cleaning, use a damp cloth or a mild soap solution. Avoid harsh detergents or solvents.
- Drying: Air dry the shoes away from direct heat sources. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
