FAQs

Are the Salomon Speedcross 6 waterproof?

The standard Speedcross 6 is water-resistant but not fully waterproof. For enhanced waterproofing, consider the Gore-Tex (GTX) version of the Speedcross 6.

How do I choose the right size?

Salomon trail running shoes typically offer a snug, precise fit. It's often recommended to size up a half or full size from your regular street shoe size, especially if you plan to wear thicker socks or your feet swell during runs. Refer to Salomon's sizing chart for detailed measurements.

Can I use these for hiking?

Yes, the Speedcross 6 provides excellent traction and support for hiking, especially on uneven or muddy terrain. However, for long hikes on varied surfaces, a dedicated hiking boot might offer more ankle support and durability.

How often should I replace my Speedcross 6 trainers?

Trail running shoes typically last between 300-500 miles (500-800 km). Factors like terrain, running style, and maintenance can affect lifespan. Look for signs of wear on the outsole and midsole cushioning.

Are they suitable for wide feet?

The Speedcross 6 generally offers a standard fit. If you have very wide feet, you may find them restrictive. It's best to try them on or consult reviews specifically addressing wide-foot compatibility.

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

The Speedcross 6 features an updated SensiFit™ construction for an even more secure fit, improved mud-shedding capabilities with optimized lug geometry, and a refined upper for enhanced durability and comfort. It's also slightly lighter.

Troubleshooting

Reduced grip on wet surfaces

Ensure the outsole lugs are clear of packed mud or debris. The unique tread pattern is designed for maximum contact and evacuation; ensure it's not obstructed.

Laces loosening during activity

Make sure the Quicklace® knot is pulled tight and securely fastened. Double-check that the lace lock is engaged properly. If issues persist, inspect the lace for wear.

Discomfort or hot spots

Adjust the Quicklace® system for a more balanced fit. Ensure you are wearing appropriate trail running socks. Break in the shoes gradually on shorter runs before long-distance use.

Premature outsole wear

The aggressive lugs are optimized for soft ground. If you are running frequently on hard surfaces like asphalt or concrete, this wear is expected. For mixed terrain, consider a shoe with a less aggressive tread pattern.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional grip on soft and muddy trails.
  • Comfortable and secure fit for dynamic movements.
  • Durable construction for demanding off-road use.
  • Quick and easy lacing system for on-the-go adjustments.
  • Effective mud evacuation to maintain traction.

Cons

  • Aggressive tread is less suited for hard, paved surfaces.
  • May offer more support than needed for casual use.
  • Can feel stiff on flat terrain compared to road shoes.
  • Breathability might be limited in very hot conditions for some users.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Speedcross 6 comes ready to wear. Ensure the Quicklace® system is adjusted for a snug, comfortable fit. The excess lace can be tucked into the small lace pocket on the tongue.

Compatibility: These trainers are optimized for off-road use, including dirt trails, mud, snow, and rocky terrain. They are not designed for sustained road running, as the aggressive tread will wear quickly and may feel uncomfortable.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: After use, remove loose dirt and mud with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh detergents.
  2. Drying: Do not machine wash or tumble dry. Air dry the shoes away from direct heat sources (like radiators or direct sunlight) to prevent material damage. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use.
