FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
The ripstop uppers offer good weatherproofing and help shield your feet from light rain and splashes. While not fully waterproof, they provide significant protection in wet conditions.
Can I use these for road running?
While durable, the aggressive lug pattern of the outsole is optimized for soft and uneven trails. Using them extensively on hard, paved roads may wear down the lugs faster and might not offer the same comfort as a dedicated road running shoe.
How do I clean the Speed Lacing System?
Wipe the laces and toggle with a damp cloth. Avoid submerging the lacing mechanism in water. Ensure no dirt or debris is lodged in the toggle mechanism.
What is the benefit of the OrthoLite Sockliner?
The OrthoLite Sockliner provides superior cushioning, breathability, and moisture management, helping to keep your feet comfortable and dry during activity.
Is the sizing true to fit?
Salomon sizing is generally consistent. This specific model is a UK Size 9. It is recommended to try them on or consult Salomon's size guide for the best fit, especially if you have wider feet or prefer thicker socks.
What kind of terrain are these best for?
These shoes excel on soft, technical trails including mud, loose dirt, and wet rocks, thanks to their aggressive lug pattern and durable construction. They are also suitable for wet urban conditions.
What is the 'Sulphur' colourway?
The 'Sulphur' colourway refers to the specific yellow, red, and black color palette, which is a returning iconic design for the Speedcross 3.
Troubleshooting
Laces feel too tight or too loose with Speed Lacing System
Adjust the tension by pulling the toggle up to tighten or pushing it down and pulling the lace loop to loosen. Experiment to find the optimal snugness for your foot.
Foot slipping inside the shoe on uneven terrain
Ensure the Speed Lacing System is tightened sufficiently for a secure fit. Consider wearing appropriate moisture-wicking socks to reduce friction and improve fit.
Shoes retain mud or dirt after cleaning
Use a stiff brush to remove caked-on mud from the outsole lugs and upper ripstop fabric before washing with soap and water. Pay special attention to the mudguard area.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
The Speedcross 3 features a Speed Lacing System. To secure your foot, simply pull the toggle to tighten the laces. To release, push the toggle down and pull the lace loop forward. Ensure the lacing is snug but comfortable to prevent slippage without creating pressure points.
Compatibility:
These shoes are primarily designed for trail running, offering superior performance on soft, uneven, and wet surfaces like mud, dirt, and loose gravel. They are also well-suited for urban exploration in wet or unpredictable weather conditions due to their weather-resistant uppers and grippy outsole. They are compatible with various outdoor activities where robust traction and foot protection are paramount.
Care:
To extend the life of your Speedcross 3 shoes:
- Cleaning: After use, especially in muddy conditions, brush off loose dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap and cold water with a soft brush. Do not machine wash.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can damage materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
- Insoles: The OrthoLite sockliners can be removed and air-dried separately to maintain freshness.
