FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
The specific "Peak" models may or may not include Gore-Tex for waterproofing. This particular model description does not explicitly state Gore-Tex, so it's likely water-resistant but not fully waterproof. Always check the product tag or specific model details for Gore-Tex if waterproofing is essential.
How do I clean the mud off the shoes?
After runs, brush off dry mud. For tougher mud, use a damp cloth or a soft brush with cold water. Avoid high-pressure washers or machine washing, as this can damage the materials and adhesives. Allow to air dry completely away from direct heat.
What is the main advantage of the Quicklace system?
The Quicklace system allows for fast, secure adjustments with a single pull, making it easy to tighten or loosen the shoes without stopping. This is particularly useful during trail runs when conditions or foot swelling change.
Can I use these for road running?
While possible, these shoes are primarily designed for trail running. The aggressive outsole is optimized for grip on dirt, mud, and rock. Using them extensively on hard surfaces like pavement can lead to premature wear of the outsole and a less comfortable ride.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Ensure there is a finger's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe when standing. The heel should feel secure without excessive slipping, and the midfoot should feel comfortably snug due to the Sensifit construction. Try them on with the type of socks you typically use for trail running.
What terrain are these best suited for?
These trainers are best suited for soft, muddy, or loose terrain thanks to their aggressive Contagrip® outsole. They also perform well on rocky and uneven trails, providing excellent grip and protection.
Troubleshooting
Laces won't tighten or loosen properly.
Ensure the Quicklace toggle is fully engaged when tightening. If it feels stuck, check for any debris in the lace channels or mechanism and gently clear it. Ensure the lace is threaded correctly through the toggle.
Slight discomfort or rubbing on the sides of the foot.
Adjust the Quicklace tension to find a more comfortable balance. If discomfort persists, try wearing different types of socks or consider if the shoe size is appropriate. The Sensifit system may require a short break-in period.
Traction feels reduced on wet surfaces.
Clean the outsole lugs thoroughly to remove any embedded mud or debris, which can compromise grip. Ensure the Contagrip® rubber is not excessively worn down. For extremely slippery conditions, proceed with caution.
Shoes feel stiff initially.
The shoes may require a short break-in period. Wear them for shorter walks or runs initially to allow the materials to conform to your foot shape. Avoid machine washing or excessive heat during drying.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These trainers require no specific setup beyond adjusting the Quicklace system to your comfort. Ensure the laces are tight enough for a secure fit but not so tight that they restrict circulation. The internal structure is designed to adapt to your foot shape over time.
Compatibility: The Salomon Speedcross Peak Trainers are designed for trail running and hiking. They are compatible with most types of athletic socks. They are not intended for road running, as the aggressive outsole can wear down quickly on hard surfaces and may provide a less comfortable experience.
Care:
- Cleaning: After each use, brush off loose dirt and mud. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth or a soft brush with cold water. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Remove insoles and laces, then allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight. Stuffing with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Ensure they are completely dry before storing to prevent odor and material degradation.
