FAQs
Are the Salomon Speedcross Peak shoes waterproof?
The product description does not specify if these shoes are waterproof. They are designed for mixed terrain which may include wet conditions, but typically, shoes are only waterproof if explicitly stated and feature a membrane like Gore-Tex. Assume they are water-resistant but not fully waterproof unless otherwise specified by Salomon.
How do I clean my Speedcross Peak shoes?
Remove large debris by hand. Rinse under cold running water with a soft brush and mild soap if needed. Do not machine wash. Allow to air dry naturally, away from direct heat or sunlight.
Can I use these shoes for road running?
While technically possible, the Salomon Speedcross Peak is optimized for trail running. Its aggressive Contagrip lugs are designed for soft and uneven surfaces and may wear down quickly or feel less cushioned and efficient on hard, paved roads. For optimal performance and shoe longevity, they are best kept to trails.
What is the benefit of the Quicklace system?
The Quicklace system allows for fast, one-pull tightening and loosening of your shoes, making adjustments on the trail quick and easy. It also provides a consistent and secure fit across your foot and has a lace garage to store excess lace, preventing snags.
How do I know what size to buy?
It is recommended to try on the shoes to ensure the best fit, ideally at the end of the day when your feet are slightly swollen. Salomon generally runs true to size for trail shoes, but checking their specific sizing chart and considering any previous Salomon shoe experience can be helpful. Ensure enough toe room to prevent discomfort on descents.
Can the Quicklace system be replaced if it breaks?
Yes, Salomon typically offers Quicklace repair kits that allow you to replace the lacing system yourself. Check the Salomon official website or contact their customer service for more information on purchasing a replacement kit and instructions.
Troubleshooting
Quicklace feels too tight or loose during a run.
The Quicklace system allows for on-the-fly adjustments. If too tight, press the lace lock button and pull the excess cord to loosen. If too loose, pull the main Quicklace cord upwards until the desired snugness is achieved, then tuck the excess into the lace garage.
Experiencing discomfort or hot spots on long runs.
Ensure your socks are appropriate for trail running (moisture-wicking, seamless). Re-evaluate your lacing tension; sometimes a slightly looser or tighter fit can alleviate pressure points. Allow for a break-in period for new shoes. If issues persist, consider professional gait analysis.
Reduced traction on certain surfaces.
While Contagrip offers excellent traction, extreme conditions (e.g., slick ice, very wet roots with algae) can still be challenging. Ensure the outsole lugs are clean of compacted mud or debris. Check the wear pattern on your lugs; heavily worn lugs will reduce grip. Adapt your running stride to the terrain.
Debris (e.g., small stones, sand) getting inside the shoe.
Ensure the Quicklace system is cinched properly to prevent gaps. Consider wearing trail running gaiters, especially in sandy or very loose terrain, which attach to the shoe and provide an additional barrier against debris.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Using your Salomon Speedcross Peak shoes is straightforward:
- Lacing: To tighten, pull the Quicklace cord upwards and away from the shoe until the desired tension is achieved. To loosen, press the release button on the lace lock and pull the cord to allow the lace to slide freely.
- Stowing Excess Lace: Once tightened, tuck any excess Quicklace cord into the lace garage located on the tongue of the shoe to prevent snagging.
Compatibility
- Best Use: Ideal for trail running, fell running, obstacle course racing, and hiking on mixed, technical, and loose terrains. Its design excels in varied conditions, from wet to dry.
- Terrain: Highly compatible with soft ground, mud, rock, and gravel. While capable on hard-packed trails, its aggressive lugs might feel less efficient on long stretches of pavement.
- Foot Type: The Sensifit system is designed to accommodate a wide range of foot types by providing a customizable, secure fit.
Care
Proper care extends the lifespan and performance of your Speedcross Peak shoes:
- Cleaning: After each run, remove any large debris by hand. For deeper cleaning, rinse the shoes under cold running water. Use a soft brush (like an old toothbrush) and mild soap if necessary to remove stubborn mud or dirt. Avoid harsh detergents or machine washing, as these can damage materials and adhesives.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Remove insoles and loosen the lacing to facilitate quicker drying. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, which can cause materials to crack or shrink.
- Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Ensure they are completely dry before storing to prevent mildew.
- Insoles: Periodically remove and air out insoles to maintain freshness.
- Outsole Inspection: Regularly check the Contagrip outsole for embedded rocks or excessive wear, especially on the lugs, to maintain optimal traction.
