FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for road running?

While the Speedcross 6 GORE-TEX can be used on roads, they are primarily designed for trail running. The aggressive tread may wear down quickly on pavement and the shoe isn't optimized for road use.

How do I clean my Speedcross 6 GORE-TEX shoes?

Remove any loose dirt with a brush. Hand wash with lukewarm water and mild soap. Air dry them away from direct heat or sunlight.

What is the lifespan of these shoes?

The lifespan depends on usage and terrain. Regular trail running can result in a lifespan of 300-500 miles. Check the outsole for wear and tear.

Can I use these shoes in winter?

Yes, these shoes can be used in winter conditions, especially if the trails are muddy or snowy. The GORE-TEX membrane provides water resistance.

How should the shoes fit?

The shoes should fit snugly around your feet, with enough room in the toe box to allow for movement. The heel should be secure to prevent slippage.

What kind of socks should I wear?

Wear trail running socks. These socks are often made of moisture-wicking materials and provide cushioning.

What is the warranty on these shoes?

Contact the retailer or Salomon for specific warranty information. Typically, there is a warranty against manufacturing defects.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable.

Ensure the correct size is worn. Consider trying a different lacing technique or wearing thinner socks.

Water is getting inside the shoe.

Check the GORE-TEX membrane for any damage. Ensure the shoes are properly laced and that water is not entering from the top. Consider using gaiters in deep water or mud.

Grip feels less effective.

Check the outsole for wear and tear. Clean the outsole regularly to remove mud and debris that may reduce grip. Replace the shoes if the tread is significantly worn.
