FAQs
What activities are these Salomon Speedcross 3 shoes best suited for?
These shoes are primarily designed for trail running. Their durable and weatherproof features, combined with aggressive grip, also make them suitable for navigating city streets on wet days.
How does the Speed Lacing System work?
The Speed Lacing System allows for quick and efficient lacing. You pull the lace through the toggle to tighten, and press the button on the toggle to release and loosen. This provides a secure and customizable fit with minimal effort.
Are the Speedcross 3 shoes waterproof?
The shoes feature ripstop uppers which add durability and weatherproofing, and a mudguard to shield from elements. While offering significant resistance to water and mud, they are considered weather-resistant rather than fully waterproof for submersion.
What provides comfort and cushioning in these shoes?
The Salomon Speedcross 3 incorporates an EVA Midsole that offers comfort with each stride, complemented by an OrthoLite Sockliner for enhanced cushioning, breathability, and moisture management.
How should I clean my Speedcross 3 shoes?
For the ripstop uppers and mudguard, gently wipe off dirt with a damp cloth. For the Contagrip Rubber Outsole, use a soft brush and water to remove mud and debris. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally; do not machine wash or use direct heat.
What kind of grip can I expect from the outsole?
The shoes are equipped with a Contagrip Rubber Outsole featuring a distinct lug pattern. This design is engineered to provide exceptional grip and stability on soft, loose, or wet terrains, ensuring reliable traction during your activities.
Is the Sulphur Spring colorway a new release?
The beloved 'Sulphur' colorway is a revival, returning in 2024 as part of the Speedcross 3's legacy. It features a palette of yellow, red, and black.
Troubleshooting
Speed Lacing System feels too tight or too loose during use.
Adjust the Speed Lacing System by pulling the lace end through the toggle to tighten, or by pressing the button on the toggle and pulling the lace loop outwards to loosen, until a comfortable and secure fit is achieved. Ensure the toggle is properly secured.
Shoes feel less grippy than expected on certain terrains.
Check the Contagrip Rubber Outsole for any accumulated mud, small stones, or debris that might be impacting the effectiveness of the lug pattern. Clean the outsole thoroughly with a brush and water to restore optimal traction.
Upper material appears dirty or muddy after outdoor activity.
Gently wipe the ripstop uppers and mudguard with a soft, damp cloth or sponge. For stubborn dirt, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by wiping with clean water. Allow to air dry completely.
Foot comfort decreases during long runs or hikes.
Ensure your socks are appropriate for the activity and fit well. The EVA Midsole and OrthoLite Sockliner are designed for comfort, but proper sock choice and lacing adjustment (not too tight or loose) are also crucial. Consider if the shoe size is appropriate for your foot, especially allowing for foot swelling during long activities.
