FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for everyday wear?
While comfortable, the Salomon Speedcross Peak Trainers are specifically designed for trail running and hiking. Their aggressive tread and specialized features are best utilized on uneven terrain.
How do I determine the right size?
Refer to the sizing guide and measure your foot length. The Sensifit system aims for a precise fit, so consider trying them on if possible. A snug fit is intended, but without discomfort.
Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials and construction of the shoe. Hand wash with a brush and mild soap, then air dry.
What is the primary benefit of the Sensifit system?
The Sensifit system provides a secure and precise fit around the foot, enhancing stability and ground feel, which is crucial for navigating technical trails.
How does the cushioning system perform on long runs?
The Salomon Cushioning System is designed to offer generous cushioning, absorbing shock and reducing impact stress on feet during extended activities like long day hikes or trail runs.
Are these shoes waterproof?
The product description mentions features that help keep moisture out via the protective band. For full waterproofing, look for specific Gore-Tex variants of the Speedcross Peak.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or cause pressure points.
Loosen the laces, especially around the area of discomfort, and re-lace them more evenly. Ensure you are using the correct size; consider if the break-in period is needed.
Reduced grip on wet surfaces.
Ensure the outsole is clean from mud or debris. While designed for grip, extremely slick surfaces may still present challenges. The lug pattern is optimized for softer ground.
Water ingress despite being described as protective.
The protective band helps keep moisture out, but the shoes are not fully waterproof unless specified (e.g., Gore-Tex versions). Ensure laces are tied correctly and seams are intact.
Cushioning feels stiff.
The cushioning system may require a few uses to break in and reach its optimal comfort level. Continue using them on short to moderate trails to allow them to adapt.

Care:
- Cleaning: After use, remove loose dirt and mud with a soft brush. Clean the shoes with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Do not machine wash.
