FAQs

Are the Salomon Speedcross 6 truly waterproof?

Yes, they feature a Gore-Tex membrane which provides a high level of waterproofing and breathability, suitable for wet conditions.

How do I clean mud off the Speedcross 6?

Rinse with cold water and use a soft brush to remove mud. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat.

Can I use these shoes for road running?

While they can be used for short distances on roads, the aggressive tread is designed for trails and may wear down quickly on hard surfaces. They are not ideal for extensive road running.

What is the main advantage of the Speedcross 6 over previous models?

The Speedcross 6 features a lighter, revamped upper, an even more powerful and grippier connection to the ground, and faster mud evacuation.

How do I adjust the fit using Quicklace™?

Pull the laces evenly to tighten and press the toggle to lock. Push the toggle down to release. Tuck excess laces into the lace garage on the tongue.

What kind of terrain are these shoes best suited for?

They are best suited for soft, wet, muddy, and technical trails where aggressive grip and waterproof protection are needed.

Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?

The Speedcross series generally runs on the narrower side. While the SensiFit™ offers a secure wrap, individuals with very wide feet may find them constricting.

Troubleshooting

Water ingress despite Gore-Tex

Ensure laces are properly tied and tucked into the pocket, and that the shoe's tongue is correctly positioned. Check for any tears or damage to the Gore-Tex membrane or upper. Persistent issues may indicate membrane failure.

Poor traction on wet surfaces

Clean the Contagrip® outsole thoroughly to remove any mud, dirt, or debris that might be lodged in the lugs. For very slick surfaces, reduced speed and careful foot placement are still advised.

Discomfort or pressure points

Adjust the Quicklace™ system for a more even distribution of pressure. Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. If discomfort persists, the shoe's fit may not be suitable for your foot shape.

Reduced breathability or feeling clammy

This can occur in very warm conditions or if the Gore-Tex membrane is blocked by dirt. Ensure the shoes are clean. For extreme heat, consider alternatives with higher breathability if Gore-Tex is not essential.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent waterproofing and breathability with Gore-Tex.
  • Superior grip on technical and muddy terrain.
  • Secure and comfortable fit for dynamic movement.
  • Durable construction built for trail running demands.
  • Lightweight design for enhanced agility.

Cons

  • Aggressive tread may wear faster on hard or paved surfaces.
  • Can be narrow for some foot shapes.
  • Laces might require frequent adjustment for optimal fit during long runs.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These shoes are ready to wear straight out of the box. Adjust the Quicklace™ system for a snug, secure fit by pulling the laces evenly and tucking the excess into the lace pocket on the tongue. Ensure the SensiFit™ cradles your foot comfortably without pressure points.

Compatibility: The Salomon Speedcross 6 is designed for trail running and hiking. It is compatible with various sock types, but moisture-wicking socks are recommended for optimal performance with the Gore-Tex membrane.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: After each use, especially in muddy conditions, rinse the shoes with cold water. Use a soft brush to remove stubborn dirt from the outsole and upper. Avoid harsh detergents or machine washing, as this can damage the materials and waterproof membrane.
  2. Drying: Remove insoles and stuff shoes with newspaper or dry cloths to absorb moisture. Air dry them away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can degrade the materials.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees or paper to maintain shape.
