FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for marathon running?

While comfortable and cushioned, the Speedcross 6 Gtx W is primarily designed for technical trail running. For road marathons or ultras on hard surfaces, a shoe with a less aggressive tread and different cushioning profile might be more suitable.

How do I know if the fit is correct?

You should have about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe when standing. The heel should feel secure without slipping, and the midfoot should feel snug but not constricting. Try them on with your usual running socks.

Can I wear these shoes in hot weather?

The GORE-TEX membrane provides breathability, but in very high temperatures, they may feel warmer than non-waterproof shoes. For extremely hot conditions, consider a version without the GORE-TEX membrane if available.

How durable is the Contagrip® outsole?

The Contagrip® outsole is designed for durability and grip on technical trails. However, the aggressive lugs will wear faster on hard surfaces like asphalt or concrete compared to softer trail ground.

How do I clean mud off the shoes?

After a run, use a soft brush to remove loose dirt. If needed, rinse with cool water. For tougher mud, use a damp cloth with a mild soap and rinse thoroughly. Always air dry away from direct heat.

What is the advantage of the Quicklace™ system?

The Quicklace™ system allows for fast, one-handed adjustments to tighten or loosen the laces, providing a secure and customizable fit quickly. It also eliminates dangling laces that could catch on trail debris.

Are these shoes good for hiking?

Yes, their excellent grip, durability, and waterproof features make them a good option for hiking on challenging trails, especially in wet or muddy conditions.

Troubleshooting

Water seeping into the shoe

Ensure the GORE-TEX membrane is intact and that the laces are properly tied and secured within the lace garage. Check for any damage to the shoe's upper or seams. For extreme conditions, consider gaiters.

Poor grip on certain surfaces

The Contagrip® outsole is optimized for soft and technical terrain. Grip may be reduced on very hard, smooth, or icy surfaces. Ensure the outsole is free from mud or debris for best performance.

Discomfort or rubbing

Adjust the Quicklace™ system for a more personalized fit. Ensure socks are appropriate for trail running. If the issue persists, the shoe's width may not be suitable for your foot shape.

Laces loosening during a run

Ensure the knot is tied securely. Double-knot if necessary. Make sure the excess lace is properly tucked into the lace garage to prevent it from coming undone.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent traction on muddy and soft terrain
  • Waterproof and breathable GORE-TEX keeps feet dry
  • Secure and comfortable fit for demanding runs
  • Durable construction for long-lasting use on trails
  • Good cushioning for impact absorption

Cons

  • Aggressive tread may wear quickly on hard surfaces like pavement
  • Fit might feel narrow for wider feet
  • Less suitable for road running due to tread design
  • May be warmer than non-waterproof options in hot conditions
  • Laces can be prone to loosening if not secured properly

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These shoes are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure the Quicklace™ system is adjusted for a snug but comfortable fit. Tuck the excess lace into the lace garage on the tongue to prevent snagging.

Compatibility: Designed for trail running on varied and challenging terrain. Not optimized for road running or purely casual wear due to the aggressive outsole tread.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: Remove excess dirt with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
  2. Drying: Air dry the shoes naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources. Ensure they are completely dry before storing or next use.
  3. Waterproofing: The GORE-TEX membrane is durable, but avoid exposing the shoes to excessive heat or harsh chemicals which can degrade the material over time.
