FAQs
Are the Salomon SPEEDCROSS PEAK CSWP trainers waterproof?
The CSWP (ClimaSalomon Waterproof) membrane provides water resistance, protecting your feet from light rain and puddles. They are not fully waterproof for submersion.
How do I clean the Quicklace system?
The Quicklace system can be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Ensure it is rinsed thoroughly and allowed to dry completely. Avoid submerging the entire shoe in water for cleaning.
What terrain are these shoes best suited for?
These trainers are optimized for varied and technical trail terrains, including mud, loose soil, rocks, and wet surfaces, thanks to the aggressive Contagrip outsole.
Can I use these for everyday walking?
While comfortable, their aggressive tread and design are primarily for trail use. They may wear down faster on hard surfaces like pavement and are not as optimized for casual walking comfort as dedicated walking shoes.
How do I know if the fit is correct?
A correct fit should feel secure with no heel slippage. Your toes should have a little room to move but not slide around excessively. The Quicklace system should provide even pressure without creating hotspots.
What is the main difference between CSWP and Gore-Tex versions?
CSWP is Salomon's proprietary waterproof technology offering good water resistance. Gore-Tex is a third-party membrane that is generally considered to offer a higher level of waterproofing and breathability, though CSWP is often sufficient for many trail conditions.
How durable is the Contagrip outsole?
The All Terrain Contagrip outsole is designed for high durability and stability in all conditions, offering excellent wear resistance across various surfaces.
Troubleshooting
Quicklace system feels too tight or too loose.
Adjust the tension using the lace lock. For tightness, pull the lock away from the shoe; for looseness, push it towards the shoe. Experiment with different tension points along the laces for a balanced fit.
Reduced grip on wet surfaces.
Ensure the Contagrip outsole is clean of mud and debris. For persistent issues, check for wear on the lug patterns, which may indicate the outsole has reached the end of its effective lifespan.
Water seeping into the shoe.
The CSWP (ClimaSalomon Waterproof) membrane offers water resistance, not full waterproofing. For extreme wet conditions, consider waterproof socks or a fully waterproof shoe model. Ensure the tongue is properly positioned to maximize protection.
Discomfort or rubbing during runs.
Re-adjust the Quicklace system for a more even pressure distribution. Ensure you are wearing appropriate trail running socks. Break in the shoes on shorter runs before attempting long distances.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The primary setup involves adjusting the Quicklace system for a personalized fit. Ensure the laces are snug but not constricting, allowing for natural foot movement while providing secure lockdown.
Compatibility: These trainers are designed for trail running and hiking. They are compatible with various sock types, but moisture-wicking socks are recommended for optimal performance and comfort. They are not designed for use with specific cleat systems.
Care:
- Cleaning: After each use, brush off loose dirt and mud. For deeper cleaning, use a soft brush or cloth with cold water. Avoid using detergents or harsh chemicals, as they can damage the materials.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can degrade the adhesives and materials. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape during drying.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
