Salomon Speedcross 6 GTX - Hiking Shoes - Blue

While comfortable, the aggressive tread pattern is optimized for trails. They are best suited for outdoor activities rather than daily casual wear on pavement.

The GORE-TEX membrane is integrated into the shoe lining. Clean the exterior and interior of the shoe as recommended in the care instructions. Avoid using harsh chemicals directly on the membrane.

The Mud Contagrip® outsole is designed for maximum grip on soft, slippery, and muddy surfaces, featuring deep, widely spaced lugs that shed mud effectively.

The GORE-TEX membrane provides waterproofing but also breathability. While they are more breathable than non-waterproof shoes, they may feel warmer in very hot conditions compared to trail running shoes without a waterproof membrane.

SensiFit™ works by cradling the foot from the midsole to the lacing system, providing a secure, snug, and customized fit around the foot, enhancing stability and comfort.

The 'GTX' designation indicates GORE-TEX, meaning the Speedcross 6 GTX features a waterproof and breathable membrane, whereas the standard Speedcross 6 does not.

This could be due to sweat. Ensure the shoes are properly ventilated after use and allow them to dry thoroughly. If water is entering from the top, check that the tongue is properly positioned and consider using gaiters in very wet conditions.

Check the Quicklace™ mechanism for any debris or blockages. Clean it with a damp cloth if necessary. Ensure the lace is not frayed.

The aggressive tread pattern is optimized for soft ground. For hard surfaces, consider using a shoe with a less aggressive outsole or be aware of reduced grip.

Ensure you have the correct size and that the Quicklace™ system is adjusted for a snug but not constricting fit. Break in the shoes on shorter runs before attempting long distances.
