Product Information

Full details

The Salomon Speedcross in black is a high-performance hiking shoe engineered for adult women who demand reliability on unpredictable terrain. Its standout feature is the full GORE-TEX waterproof bootie, which provides excellent protection against mud, puddles, and stream crossings, though users should note that the aggressive lug design is specifically optimized for soft or uneven surfaces rather than flat, paved roads.

FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for road running?

While they are comfortable, the aggressive lug design is specifically meant for soft trails and will wear down quickly on asphalt or concrete.

How do I maintain the waterproof function?

Regular cleaning and using a water-repellent spray designed for GORE-TEX footwear will help maintain the outer fabric's ability to shed water.

Is this shoe true to size?

Salomon footwear generally fits true to size, but we recommend wearing the specific hiking socks you intend to use when trying them on for a proper fit check.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

It is not recommended. Washing machines can damage the adhesive and the structural integrity of the GORE-TEX membrane; hand washing is preferred.

Does the shoe provide good arch support?

The Speedcross series features an integrated cushioning system that provides moderate arch support suitable for most hikers.

Are these shoes specifically for women?

Yes, this model is designed with specific anatomical considerations for the female foot.

Troubleshooting

Moisture inside the shoe despite the GORE-TEX lining

Ensure your socks are synthetic or wool and not cotton, as cotton traps moisture. Also, check if water is entering from the top of the shoe during deep crossings.

Laces feel loose after short hikes

Check the lacing system for any trapped debris and ensure the laces are fully seated in the eyelets or quick-lock system.

Accumulation of debris inside the shoe

Consider wearing gaiters when hiking on loose gravel or sandy terrain to prevent rocks from entering the collar of the shoe.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Superior waterproof protection with GORE-TEX technology
  • Excellent debris protection via the reinforced base band
  • Highly comfortable cushioning for long-duration use
  • Deep lug pattern provides reliable grip on loose soil

Cons

  • Less comfortable on hard, paved, or concrete surfaces
  • The waterproof membrane may reduce breathability in extreme heat
  • Aggressive lug pattern can wear down faster if used primarily on asphalt

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Salomon hiking shoes, follow these guidelines:

  1. Break-in Period: Wear them on short, light walks before embarking on longer, strenuous hikes to ensure a perfect fit.
  2. Cleaning: After muddy hikes, rinse the exterior with cool water and a soft brush. Avoid using harsh soaps or detergents that can degrade the GORE-TEX membrane.
  3. Drying: Always air dry the shoes away from direct heat sources like radiators or campfires, as excessive heat can damage the glue and fabric components.
  4. Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to prevent material degradation.
  5. Footwear Care: Regularly check the laces and eyelets for signs of wear and replace them as needed to maintain a secure fit.
