FAQs
Are the Salomon Speedcross 6 waterproof?
This specific model, the Salomon Speedcross 6 Trainers, is not specified as waterproof. For waterproof options, look for models with Gore-Tex (GTX) in their name.
How do I find the correct UK size?
The product details provide the UK adult foot size. It is recommended to measure your foot and compare it to a standard UK sizing chart, or consult Salomon's specific sizing guide if available.
Can I use these for everyday walking?
While comfortable, the aggressive tread pattern is optimized for trail running. They can be used for walking, but the lugs may wear down faster on hard surfaces, and they might feel overbuilt for casual strolls.
What is the main advantage of the Speedcross series?
The Speedcross series is renowned for its aggressive traction, offering exceptional grip on soft, muddy, and technical trails, combined with a secure and protective fit.
How often should I replace my Speedcross 6 trainers?
The lifespan depends on usage frequency, terrain, and individual running style. Generally, trail running shoes should be considered for replacement after 300-500 miles (500-800 km) or when cushioning feels diminished and traction is noticeably reduced.
What is the Quicklace system?
Quicklace is a system of strong laces and a locking eyelet that allows you to tighten and loosen the shoes quickly and easily with a single pull, while the lace pocket keeps the laces tucked away.
Troubleshooting
Laces won't stay tight
Ensure the Quicklace™ knot is securely tied and the lace lock is fully engaged. Check the lace pocket to ensure laces are tucked away properly, preventing accidental loosening.
Reduced traction on wet surfaces
Ensure the Contagrip® outsole is clean and free from mud or debris. For persistent issues, check for excessive wear on the lugs, which may indicate the need for replacement.
Discomfort or rubbing
Adjust the Quicklace™ system for a more personalized fit. Ensure you are wearing appropriate trail running socks. Break in the shoes gradually on shorter runs.
Shoes feel stiff
The Speedcross 6 is designed for support and grip. Stiffness often decreases with use. Try wearing them for shorter, less intense runs to allow them to break in.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These trainers are ready to wear out of the box. The Quicklace™ system allows for quick adjustment. To tighten, pull the laces upwards; to loosen, pull the small tab on the lace lock. Tuck excess laces into the lace pocket on the tongue to prevent them from snagging.
Compatibility: Designed for trail running on varied and often challenging terrain. They are most compatible with soft, muddy, wet, or uneven surfaces. While functional on roads for short distances, their optimal performance is off-road.
Care:
- Remove excess dirt and mud with a dry brush.
- Clean with a damp cloth or sponge, using cool water. Avoid harsh detergents.
- Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place near direct heat sources like radiators or in direct sunlight, as this can damage the materials.
- For stubborn stains, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly, followed by thorough rinsing with clean water.
- Ensure the shoes are completely dry before storing.
