FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
The Salomon Speedcross Peak is designed for grip and protection on wet and muddy trails but is not explicitly stated as waterproof. While they offer some resistance to splashes and brief encounters with water, prolonged submersion will likely result in wet feet. For fully waterproof options, look for models with Gore-Tex or similar membranes.
How do I use the Quicklace system?
To tighten, pull the end of the lace firmly upwards until the desired tension is achieved, then secure the stopper. To loosen, press the small button on the stopper and pull the lace loop outwards. Stow the excess lace and stopper in the lace pocket on the tongue to prevent snagging.
What kind of terrain are these best for?
These shoes excel on technical and rough trails, including mud, loose dirt, gravel, rocky paths, and varied off-road conditions where aggressive traction and foot protection are essential.
Can I use these for road running?
While possible for short transitions, the aggressive lug pattern of the Contagrip outsole is not optimized for road running. It can wear down faster on asphalt and may feel less comfortable than shoes designed for roads.
How do I clean my Speedcross Peak shoes?
Remove excess dirt and mud with a soft brush and lukewarm water. Avoid using harsh soaps or machine washing. Allow them to air dry naturally in a well-ventilated area, away from direct heat.
What is Sensifit?
Sensifit is a system designed to cradle the foot, providing a secure, precise, and custom-like fit. It works in conjunction with the lacing system to ensure comfort and stability, especially on uneven terrain.
What does the heel and toe cap protection offer?
The reinforced heel and toe caps protect your feet from impacts with rocks, roots, and other debris commonly encountered on challenging trails, reducing the risk of injury.
What is Contagrip?
Contagrip is Salomon's proprietary outsole technology, featuring a specific rubber compound and lug geometry designed to provide optimal grip and durability across a wide range of surfaces.
Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too loose or too tight.
Adjust the Quicklace system. Pull firmly to tighten, or press the stopper release button and loosen the lace to achieve a comfortable, snug fit that prevents heel slippage without cutting off circulation.
Lack of grip on certain surfaces.
Ensure the outsole lugs are clean of mud or debris, as buildup can reduce traction. While the Contagrip outsole offers excellent grip, extreme ice or polished wet rock may still present challenges, requiring cautious foot placement.
Foot discomfort or hot spots during runs.
Re-evaluate your lacing tension; an overly tight or loose fit can cause issues. Ensure you are wearing appropriate running socks for trail conditions. If discomfort persists, consider if the shoe size or width is optimal for your foot type, or if a different insole might help.
Pros and Cons

- Superior foot protection from impacts with reinforced heel and toe caps.
- Quick and precise fit adjustment with the Sensifit and Quicklace system.
- Durable construction suitable for aggressive and frequent trail running.
- Enhanced stability on uneven and technical surfaces.
Cons
- Aggressive tread might be less comfortable or efficient on paved sections or very smooth trails.
- Quicklace system may require familiarization for new users compared to traditional laces.

- Info needed: May have less cushioning for long road sections compared to hybrid trail/road shoes.
Setup: When you first put on your Salomon Speedcross Peak shoes, use the Quicklace system to achieve a snug, secure fit. Pull the lace tight until it feels firm but not restrictive across your foot, then tuck the excess lace and stopper into the lace pocket on the tongue. Ensure your heel feels locked in place to prevent movement during runs. For compatibility, these shoes are primarily designed for technical and rough trail running conditions, including mud, rocks, loose dirt, and varied off-road terrain. They are less suited for long stretches of road running due to their aggressive outsole. Care: To maintain performance and extend the lifespan of your shoes, clean them after each muddy run. Remove visible dirt and mud with a soft brush and lukewarm water. Avoid machine washing or using harsh detergents, as this can damage materials and adhesives. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight. Remove insoles to air dry separately if they are damp. Regularly check the outsole for embedded debris.
