FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
The specific 'Peak' model description does not explicitly state Gore-Tex or waterproofing. For waterproof versions, look for models specifically advertised with Gore-Tex technology.
How do I clean mud off the shoes?
Brush off loose mud when dry. For tougher mud, use a soft brush and cold water. Avoid harsh detergents and never put them in a washing machine or dryer.
Can I use these for road running?
These shoes are optimized for trail running with aggressive lugs for grip. While usable on short road sections, they are not ideal for dedicated road running due to faster tread wear and less cushioning on hard surfaces.
What is the benefit of the Sensifit construction?
Sensifit technology provides a precise foothold and cradles the foot, ensuring a secure and stable fit that adapts to your foot's movement on uneven terrain.
How do I adjust the Quicklace system?
Pull the lace toggle upwards to tighten the fit and lift the small tab near the toggle to loosen. The system is designed for quick, one-handed adjustments.
What type of foot strike is this shoe best for?
The Speedcross Peak is designed to support a natural foot motion, suitable for midfoot or forefoot strikers common in trail running, providing stability and responsiveness.
How durable is the Contagrip® outsole?
Contagrip® outsoles are known for their durability and are engineered to withstand challenging trail conditions. However, longevity can be affected by the surfaces run on and frequency of use.
Troubleshooting
Quicklace system is too tight or too loose
Adjust the toggle carefully. To tighten, pull the toggle upwards. To loosen, lift the small tab near the toggle. Experiment to find the perfect tension for your run.
Slipping on certain surfaces
While Contagrip® offers excellent traction, extremely smooth or wet surfaces can still pose a challenge. Ensure the shoe's tread is clear of debris. For very specific conditions, consider if a different outsole pattern might be more suitable.
Discomfort or pressure points
Ensure the Quicklace system is adjusted correctly. Try different sock thicknesses. If discomfort persists, the shoe's fit may not be ideal for your foot shape; consider consulting with a professional fitter.
Shoes retaining water
If not a Gore-Tex model, some water retention is normal on very wet trails. Ensure shoes are thoroughly dried after use to prevent material degradation and odor.
