Full details
These SALOMON Speedcross Hiking Shoes are designed for young male adventurers exploring wild trails. Their key benefit is providing a precise, comfortable fit and secure traction for fast, slip-free running, even on challenging terrain. A potential caveat is the specialized Quicklace system, which may require a brief adjustment period for some children. Key features include the SensiFit system for a snug feel, Contagrip technology for superior grip, and an EVA midsole for cushioning.

FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
These specific models are not described as waterproof. They are designed for breathability and performance on trails, but may not offer full protection against heavy rain or submersion in water.
How do I choose the right size?
Refer to the UK sizing guide provided. It is recommended to measure the child's foot length and compare it to the shoe's internal measurements if available, or select the closest UK size.
Can the Quicklace system be replaced?
Yes, replacement Quicklace kits are available separately for most Salomon footwear if the original system becomes damaged or worn.
What is the main advantage of Contagrip?
Contagrip provides superior grip on a wide range of surfaces, offering confidence and stability for runners on varied and challenging terrain.
Are these suitable for everyday school wear?
While durable and comfortable, these shoes are optimized for trail performance. For everyday school wear, consider their suitability based on the school's dress code and the child's daily activities.
How often should I clean the shoes?
Clean the shoes after particularly muddy or dirty excursions. Regular light brushing can help maintain their appearance and performance.
Troubleshooting
Laces won't tighten properly
Ensure the Quicklace system is correctly threaded and the locking eyelet is engaged. Check for any debris in the lace or eyelet mechanism.
Shoes feel uncomfortable or cause rubbing
Verify the size is correct for the child's foot. Ensure the SensiFit system is properly snug but not overly tight. Try different sock thicknesses.
Traction seems reduced on slippery surfaces
Clean the Contagrip outsole thoroughly to remove any mud or debris that may be lodged in the lugs. Inspect the tread for excessive wear.
Difficulty getting the shoe on/off
Ensure the Quicklace system is fully loosened before attempting to put the shoe on. Practice the pull-and-tuck motion for the laces.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These shoes are designed for immediate use. The Quicklace system features a single-pull lace and a locking eyelet. To tighten, pull the laces upwards; to loosen, pull the laces forward. Tuck the excess laces into the lace garage on the tongue.
Compatibility: Ideal for trail running, hiking, and general outdoor activities on varied terrain. They are designed for children.
Care:
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt and mud with a brush. Use a damp cloth to wipe down the exterior. For the interior, use a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary, then wipe clean with fresh water.
- Drying: Never dry shoes using direct heat (e.g., radiators, fires, or tumble dryers) as this can damage the materials. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
