FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
The standard Speedcross 6 is designed for breathability. For complete water protection, look for the 'Gore-Tex' version of this model.
Are these suitable for road running?
They are designed for soft, rugged terrain. While you can run on roads to reach a trail, the aggressive lugs will wear down faster on pavement.
How should I clean the mud off?
Use a soft brush and warm water. Avoid submerging the shoes for long periods or using a washing machine.
Do these run true to size?
They generally run true to size, but the fit is 'precise' or snug. If you prefer more room for toe splay, some users choose to go up a half size.
Can I use these for hiking?
Yes, they are excellent for fast-hiking and trekking, especially on loose or muddy terrain.
Troubleshooting
Feeling pressure points across the top of the foot
The fit is designed to be precise; try adjusting the lacing tension at specific anchor points to distribute pressure more evenly.
Accumulation of small rocks or debris inside the shoe
Ensure the collar fits snugly around your ankle; consider using a trail gaiter if you are running in particularly loose gravel or scree fields.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Salomon Speedcross 6, follow these maintenance guidelines.
Setup: These trainers feature a precise fit; ensure you wear the type of technical socks you intend to use on the trail during your initial fitting to guarantee comfort.
Compatibility: These are dedicated trail shoes. While they are technically compatible with road surfaces, extended use on asphalt will accelerate wear on the aggressive lugs.
Care: Always clean off caked mud after use using a soft brush and lukewarm water. Avoid using harsh detergents or putting them in a washing machine, as this can degrade the specialized adhesives and fabric treatments. Air dry them naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators to maintain the structural integrity of the upper and the midsole foam.
