FAQs
Are the Salomon Speedcross Peak shoes waterproof?
The Salomon Speedcross Peak shoes are designed to offer good resistance to splashes and light moisture common on trails. They are not fully waterproof, meaning they will not keep your feet dry if submerged in water for extended periods. For full waterproofing, you might consider models with a GORE-TEX membrane.
How does the Quicklace system work?
The Quicklace system uses a single strong lace and a toggle. To tighten, pull the toggle downwards. To loosen, pinch the toggle and pull it upwards while simultaneously pulling the upper part of the laces. Once adjusted, secure the toggle into the lace pocket on the shoe's tongue.
What type of terrain are these shoes best for?
These shoes are specifically engineered for challenging trail conditions, including soft ground, mud, loose gravel, and technical rocky paths. The Contagrip® outsole provides superior grip on these varied and uneven surfaces.
How should I clean my Salomon Speedcross Peak shoes?
After use, brush off any loose dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a soft cloth or brush with lukewarm water and a small amount of mild soap. Avoid harsh detergents or bleach. Rinse thoroughly and allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
What is Sensifit construction?
Sensifit is a system that cradles your foot from the midsole to the lacing system, providing a secure, snug, and virtually customized fit all around the foot. It enhances foot hold and comfort, especially during dynamic movements on uneven terrain.
Can I use these shoes for road running?
While technically possible, the Salomon Speedcross Peak shoes are not optimized for road running. Their aggressive Contagrip® outsole is designed for soft, technical trails and will wear down much faster on hard asphalt or concrete. They may also feel firmer and less cushioned than dedicated road running shoes.
Troubleshooting
My Quicklace feels too tight or too loose.
To adjust the Quicklace, pull the toggle up to loosen, or pull the toggle down firmly to tighten. Make sure the lace is distributed evenly across your foot for optimal comfort and security. Tuck any excess lace and the toggle into the lace pocket on the tongue.
I'm experiencing discomfort or pressure points during a run.
Check your sock choice; thick or poorly fitting socks can contribute to discomfort. Also, try re-adjusting the Quicklace system to ensure even pressure distribution, avoiding overtightening in specific areas. Ensure your foot is correctly aligned within the shoe.
The shoes seem to be slipping on certain wet surfaces.
While Contagrip® offers excellent traction, extreme conditions like very wet, slick rocks can still be challenging. Ensure the outsole is clean and free of embedded debris that could reduce grip. Adjust your stride and pace for the specific surface conditions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Lacing: To put on your Speedcross Peak shoes, simply pull the Quicklace toggle upwards, slide your foot in, and then pull the toggle downwards to tighten the laces. Ensure the laces are evenly snug across your foot, avoiding any overly tight spots. Secure the toggle into the lace pocket on the tongue of the shoe to prevent snagging.
- First Use: We recommend a short break-in period on less technical terrain to allow the shoes to adapt to your foot shape and for you to get accustomed to the fit and feel.
Compatibility
- Terrain: These shoes are best suited for soft, muddy, loose, and technical trail conditions. The deep lugs of the Contagrip® outsole provide optimal grip where other shoes might struggle.
- Distance/Pace: Designed to protect your feet across various distances and paces, from short, fast bursts to longer, sustained efforts on rugged trails.
- Weather: While not fully waterproof, the materials offer good resistance to splashes and light rain, making them suitable for most trail weather conditions. For extreme wet conditions, consider adding waterproof gaiters.
Care
- Cleaning: After each use, especially in muddy conditions, gently brush off loose dirt. Use a soft brush and lukewarm water with a mild soap (if necessary) to clean the upper and outsole. Do not machine wash.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or artificial heat sources (like radiators), as this can damage materials and adhesives.
- Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Ensure they are clean and dry before storing to prevent odor and mildew.
