FAQs

Are the Salomon Speedcross 6 suitable for everyday wear?

While comfortable, the aggressive tread is optimized for trails and may wear quickly on hard surfaces like pavement. They are best suited for their intended trail use.

How do I clean mud off the Speedcross 6?

Use a soft brush with cold water to remove mud. Avoid harsh detergents. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from heat.

Is there a waterproof version available?

Yes, Salomon offers Gore-Tex (GTX) versions of the Speedcross 6, which provide enhanced waterproofness and breathability.

What is the main difference between Speedcross 5 and Speedcross 6?

The Speedcross 6 is lighter, features improved mud evacuation, and has a revamped, more functional upper compared to the Speedcross 5.

How durable is the outsole?

The Contagrip® TA outsole is designed for durability on mixed terrain. However, the aggressive lugs can wear faster when frequently used on hard, abrasive surfaces like asphalt.

What type of socks are recommended?

Trail-specific socks are recommended for comfort and moisture management. For wet conditions, consider synthetic or wool blend socks.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable

Loosen the Quicklace™ system and readjust for a more personalized fit. Ensure you are wearing appropriate trail socks. If the issue persists after several uses, consider if the size is correct or if a different model might be a better fit.

Reduced grip on wet surfaces

Ensure the outsole is clean from debris. While the Contagrip® TA is excellent, extreme conditions can challenge any sole. Check for excessive wear on the lugs.

Water ingress (non-Gore-Tex models)

The standard mesh upper is breathable but not waterproof. For wet conditions, consider a Gore-Tex variant of the Speedcross 6 or use water-repellent socks.

Pros and Cons

  • Lightweight and agile feel

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These shoes require no specific setup. Simply lace them up using the Quicklace™ system for a secure fit. Adjust tightness according to your comfort and the terrain.

Compatibility: Primarily designed for trail running, hiking, and outdoor activities on soft, technical, or muddy terrain. They are compatible with various types of trail socks. Consider Gore-Tex versions for enhanced waterproofness.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: After use, brush off loose dirt and mud. For deeper cleaning, use a soft brush with cold water. Avoid using detergents or abrasive cleaners.
  2. Drying: Remove insoles and stuff shoes with newspaper to absorb moisture. Let them air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can degrade materials.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably not in a sealed plastic bag, to allow for air circulation.
