FAQs
Are the Salomon Speedcross 3 trainers waterproof?
The Speedcross 3 trainers are water-resistant but not fully waterproof. They are designed to drain water effectively and dry quickly, making them suitable for wet conditions, but they will not keep your feet completely dry if submerged.
Can I use these trainers for everyday walking?
While you can use them for everyday walking, their aggressive tread pattern is optimized for trail performance. They may feel a bit firm or overly grippy on hard, flat surfaces like pavement compared to dedicated walking or running shoes.
How do I choose the right size?
It's recommended to measure your foot and consult Salomon's sizing chart. Many users find that trail running shoes fit best with a little extra room in the toe box. Trying them on, preferably at the end of the day when feet are slightly swollen, is ideal.
What is the benefit of the Quicklace system?
The Quicklace system offers a fast, secure, and easily adjustable fit. It allows for one-handed tightening and loosening, ensuring a consistent lockdown that can be adjusted on the go without stopping.
How long will the grip on the outsole last?
The lifespan of the outsole grip depends on usage frequency, terrain type, and user weight. For typical trail running and hiking use, the Contagrip® outsole is designed for durability. Regular cleaning of the tread can help maintain optimal grip.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the insoles in the Salomon Speedcross 3 trainers are typically removable and can be replaced with custom orthotics or different aftermarket insoles if desired.
Troubleshooting
Laces not tightening properly
Ensure the Quicklace toggle is fully engaged. Check that the laces are not tangled or obstructed. Clean the lace channel if debris has accumulated.
Discomfort or rubbing
Verify you are wearing the correct shoe size and that the Quicklace system is adjusted for a snug but not overly tight fit. Ensure you are using appropriate socks. Break in the shoes on shorter walks before long runs.
Reduced grip on certain surfaces
The aggressive tread is optimized for soft/muddy terrain. On very hard, dry, or polished surfaces, grip may be reduced. Ensure the outsole is free from mud or debris which can impact traction.
Shoes retain water
While designed for rugged conditions, these trainers are not fully waterproof. Allow them to dry thoroughly after exposure to water. Consider using waterproofing sprays specifically designed for footwear if needed for extended wet conditions, though this may affect breathability.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Speedcross 3 trainers feature a Quicklace system. To put them on, loosen the laces by pulling the toggle away from the shoe. Slide your foot in, then pull the toggle towards the shoe to tighten. Tuck the excess lace ends into the lace garage on the tongue to keep them secure.
Compatibility: These trainers are designed for trail running, hiking, and outdoor activities on varied, often soft or technical terrain. They are compatible with most standard sock types. For optimal performance, consider wearing moisture-wicking trail socks.
Care:
- Cleaning: After use, remove loose dirt with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth or a soft brush with cool water. Avoid using harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in direct sunlight, as this can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. Ensure they are clean and dry before storage to prevent odor and material degradation.
