Full details
The Salomon Speedcross Trainers are designed for active women who demand reliability while navigating challenging outdoor environments like streams, mud, and rocky trails. These trainers offer the significant benefit of a full GORE-TEX waterproof bootie, ensuring your feet remain dry in wet conditions, though the rugged construction may feel slightly stiffer than standard road-running footwear.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for road running?
While they can be worn on pavement, they are specifically optimized for mud, rocks, and uneven trails; the lugged outsole may wear down quickly on asphalt.
How do I clean the GORE-TEX membrane?
Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid using harsh detergents as they can compromise the waterproof coating.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
It is not recommended, as mechanical agitation can damage the waterproof bootie and the structural integrity of the shoe.
Are these shoes warm for winter?
The GORE-TEX construction provides good windproofing and water protection, making them quite suitable for cool, wet, or snowy conditions.
Is the sizing consistent with other Salomon shoes?
Salomon sizing is generally consistent, though the waterproof lining makes these feel slightly more snug than non-GORE-TEX models.
Troubleshooting
Foot feels too tight
Ensure the laces are not overtightened; consider wearing thinner performance socks to allow for better foot volume.
Water entering from the top
While the bootie is waterproof, ensure your gaiters or pants overlap the ankle cuff to prevent water from running down into the shoe during deep crossings.
Loss of traction over time
Inspect the lug depth; excessive wear on the lugs will reduce grip on mud, indicating it may be time to replace the outsole.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent waterproof protection for wet trail conditions
- Highly durable construction with debris protection
- Superior grip on soft and uneven surfaces
- Responsive cushioning for long hikes or runs
Cons
- Stiffer structure compared to non-GORE-TEX models
- May be less breathable in extreme heat
- Best suited for off-road use rather than pavement
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure maximum longevity, remove mud and loose dirt from the outsole after each use using a soft brush. If the interior gets wet, air dry the shoes naturally; avoid direct heat sources like radiators, which can damage the GORE-TEX membrane or warp the cushioning materials. The fit is true to size for a 6.5 UK fit, but if you intend to wear thick moisture-wicking hiking socks, ensure the snug fit of the GORE-TEX bootie remains comfortable before long treks. Always store in a cool, dry place to prevent material degradation.
