FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
The Speedcross Peak Trainers offer water resistance through their construction, helping to keep moisture out. However, they are not fully waterproof like Gore-Tex models. They are suitable for splashes and light rain but may not keep feet dry in prolonged heavy downpours or deep water.
What is the primary use for these trainers?
These trainers are ideal for moderate trail running, long day hikes, and general outdoor use on varied terrain. They provide a good balance of cushioning, protection, and support.
How much cushioning do they offer?
They feature moderate cushioning using fuzeFOAM and the Salomon Cushioning System, designed to absorb vibrations and reduce muscle fatigue without adding significant weight.
Can I use these for road running?
While they can be used for short road sections to connect trails, they are not optimized for road running. The outsole and cushioning are designed for the specific demands of off-road terrain.
How do I determine the correct UK size?
Refer to standard UK sizing charts for men's footwear. Ensure there is a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe when standing.
What is the 'protective band' mentioned in the description?
The protective band is a durable material strip integrated around the base of the shoe's upper. It acts as a barrier to shield your feet from sharp objects like rocks and helps to prevent mud and water from entering the shoe.
Troubleshooting
Foot fatigue after long runs
Ensure the lacing is adjusted for optimal support. Verify that the shoe size is correct and allows for natural foot swell.
Trail debris entering the shoe
Check that the protective band is intact and that laces are tied tightly. Consider using gaiters for added protection in very dusty or debris-heavy conditions.
Slipping on wet surfaces
While designed for all-terrain, very slick surfaces may reduce traction. Ensure the outsole is clean of mud or debris, which can impact grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: These trainers are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure they are laced securely for optimal fit and support before your first use.
Compatibility: Suitable for adult male runners and hikers. Best suited for moderate trail conditions, rocky paths, and long day hikes. Not intended for extreme mountain terrain or technical scrambling.
Care:
- Cleaning: After use, remove loose dirt with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents, as this can damage the materials.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, which can degrade the materials and affect the shape.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
