Salomon Speedcross Peak - Black - 12 UK

To tighten, pull the lace cord firmly upwards until the desired snugness is achieved, then push the plastic stopper down to secure it. Tuck any excess lace and the stopper into the lace pocket on the tongue. To loosen, pinch the stopper and pull the lace cord away from the shoe.

While technically usable on roads, these shoes are specifically designed for trail running. The aggressive Contagrip lugs provide excellent grip on soft and uneven trails but may wear down faster and feel less comfortable on hard, paved surfaces compared to road running shoes.

The Salomon Speedcross Peak excels on technical and challenging trail terrains, including muddy paths, loose dirt, rocky sections, and varied mountain environments. The aggressive lugs are designed to bite into soft surfaces and provide stability on uneven ground.

Remove insoles and use a soft brush or cloth with lukewarm water to gently clean off mud and dirt from the upper and outsole. Pay special attention to clearing debris from the lugs. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources.

Sensifit is a system designed to cradle the foot from the midsole to the lacing system, providing a secure, snug, and virtually customized fit all around the foot. It enhances comfort and provides precise foot-holding for stability on uneven terrain.

The Contagrip outsole is built for durability on trails. However, frequent use on abrasive surfaces like pavement can cause faster wear on the aggressive lugs. For optimal lifespan, reserve these shoes for their intended trail running purpose.

Ensure the Quicklace stopper is fully engaged after pulling the cord to your desired tension. To loosen, pinch the stopper and pull the lace through. For a precise fit, adjust tension incrementally across the foot.

Inspect the Contagrip outsole for any accumulated mud, small stones, or debris stuck between the lugs, which can reduce traction. Clean thoroughly. Also, check for excessive wear on the lugs, which may indicate it's time for new shoes if grip is consistently compromised.

Ensure you have the correct shoe size and width. Re-evaluate your lacing tension using the Quicklace system to avoid overtightening or being too loose. Consider if a break-in period is needed or if your socks are contributing to the issue. If discomfort persists, consult with a running specialist.

While the shoes have protective caps, severe impacts can still cause discomfort. Re-evaluate your foot placement on technical terrain. If caps feel insufficient, ensure the shoe is properly sized; a shoe that is too small might not align the protective features correctly with your foot.
