FAQs
What type of terrain are these shoes best suited for?
These shoes are specifically designed for challenging trail running, including muddy, rocky, and loose surfaces. The aggressive Contagrip outsole provides excellent grip.
How do I adjust the Quicklace system?
Simply pull the laces tight for a secure fit, and use the toggle to lock them in place. To loosen, pull the toggles up and away from the shoe.
Are these shoes waterproof?
The Speedcross Peak Trainers are water-resistant to a degree due to their materials, but they are not fully waterproof. They are designed to shed water and dry quickly rather than prevent all water ingress.
How do I clean my Speedcross Peak Trainers?
Brush off loose dirt, then wash with cool water and mild soap using a soft brush. Air dry completely away from heat.
What is the main difference between Speedcross and Speedcross Peak?
The 'Peak' designation often indicates enhanced protective features and sometimes a more aggressive outsole or updated materials for even tougher conditions compared to the standard Speedcross models.
Can I use these for everyday walking?
While they offer good support, the aggressive tread is optimized for trails. For everyday walking on hard surfaces, the lugs may wear down faster, and they might be less comfortable than shoes designed specifically for walking.
What size UK foot is this product for?
This specific product guide is for a UK size 8.5.
Troubleshooting
Laces are difficult to tighten or loosen
Ensure the Quicklace cord is clean and free of debris. Pull the lace ends firmly while holding the plastic tensioner. If still difficult, check that the lace path is not obstructed.
Traction feels reduced on certain surfaces
Clean the Contagrip lugs thoroughly as mud or debris can significantly reduce grip. If the wear is excessive, consider replacement.
Foot feels uncomfortable or has pressure points
Re-adjust the Quicklace tension, ensuring even pressure distribution. Try wearing different types of running socks. If discomfort persists, the shoe's fit may not be suitable for your foot shape.
Waterlogging on very wet terrain
While designed for varied conditions, extreme water immersion will lead to water absorption. Allow ample time for drying after use. Consider waterproofing sprays designed for trail shoes if this is a frequent issue.
