Product Information

Full details

The Salomon Speedcross 6 Trainers are designed for adult male trail runners seeking enhanced grip and comfort on challenging terrain. Their key benefit is a lighter feel with superior ground connection and faster mud shedding capabilities. A potential caveat for some users might be the aggressive tread, which could feel less ideal on very hard or road surfaces. This iteration features a refined upper for both function and style, building on the classic Speedcross comfort.

FAQs

Are the Speedcross 6 waterproof?

This specific model, the Salomon Speedcross 6 Trainers, is not a Gore-Tex (GTX) version and therefore is water-resistant but not fully waterproof. For waterproof options, look for the Speedcross 6 GTX variants.

How do I clean the Speedcross 6?

Clean using lukewarm water and a soft brush to remove dirt and mud. Allow them to air dry completely away from direct heat.

Can I use these for road running?

While they can be used for short distances on hard surfaces, the Speedcross 6 are optimized for trail running. The aggressive tread might feel uncomfortable and wear down faster on pavement.

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

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

How durable are the Speedcross 6?

They are built with durable materials designed to withstand the rigors of trail running, including reinforced toe caps and robust uppers. However, aggressive use on abrasive terrain will naturally affect longevity.

Do these shoes offer good cushioning?

The Speedcross 6 provides balanced cushioning suitable for trail running, prioritizing responsiveness and ground feel. They are not designed for maximum plush cushioning like some road running shoes.

What size should I order?

Refer to the sizing guide provided by Salomon and measure your foot. Many users find it beneficial to go up half a size from their regular shoe size for trail running shoes to accommodate foot swelling.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Loosen the Quicklace™ system and try adjusting the tension. If the issue persists, consider if this model is the right fit for your foot width or if a larger size is needed.

Reduced grip after mud accumulation

Clean the outsole thoroughly with water and a brush to remove packed mud, ensuring the lugs are clear.

Discomfort on longer runs

Ensure laces are appropriately tightened for a secure but not constricting fit. Break the shoes in on shorter runs before attempting long distances.

Squeaking noises

This can sometimes occur due to moisture between shoe components. Ensure the shoes are completely dry. Sometimes, a small amount of talcum powder in the insole can help.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional traction on soft and muddy trails
  • Lightweight construction for agility
  • Improved mud shedding compared to previous versions
  • Comfortable and secure fit
  • Durable materials for trail running demands

Cons

  • Aggressive tread may be less effective on hard surfaces or roads
  • Lighter weight might mean slightly less underfoot cushioning for some
  • May require a break-in period for optimal comfort
  • Breathability might be a concern in very hot conditions for some users
  • The fit might be too snug for those with wider feet

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Salomon Speedcross 6 Trainers are ready to use straight out of the box. Ensure you have selected the correct size for a comfortable fit. The Quicklace™ system allows for fast and easy one-pull tightening and loosening.

Compatibility: These trainers are specifically designed for trail running and hiking on varied, often soft and muddy, terrain. They are not optimized for road running or gym use.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: After use, remove excess mud with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use lukewarm water and a mild soap, scrubbing gently with a soft brush. Avoid using harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
  2. Drying: Never machine wash or tumble dry. Remove insoles and laces, and allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape during drying.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably with laces loosened, to maintain the shoe's structure.
