FAQs
What kind of terrain is the Speedcross 3 best suited for?
The Speedcross 3 is specifically designed for trail running, excelling on soft, muddy, technical, and uneven outdoor terrains. Its aggressive lug pattern provides superior grip in challenging conditions.
How do I use the Quicklace™ system?
To tighten, pull the toggle of the lacing system upwards and away from the shoe until it feels snug. To loosen, press the small button on the toggle and pull the laces away from the foot. Always tuck the excess lace and toggle into the tongue pocket.
Are the Speedcross 3 shoes waterproof?
The ripstop uppers provide weatherproofing and help shield against the elements, making them resistant to light moisture and splashes. However, they are not fully waterproof like shoes with a GORE-TEX membrane.
How should I clean my Speedcross 3 shoes?
After use, wipe off mud and dirt with a damp cloth. Avoid submerging them or using harsh chemicals. Allow them to air dry completely at room temperature, away from direct heat.
What is the benefit of the OrthoLite® sockliner?
The OrthoLite® sockliner offers enhanced cushioning, breathability, and durability, contributing to overall foot comfort and a healthier in-shoe environment by wicking away moisture.
Can I use these shoes for road running?
While you can use them on roads for short distances, the aggressive lug pattern is optimized for soft trails and may feel less comfortable and wear down faster on hard, paved surfaces compared to road-specific running shoes.
Troubleshooting
Laces feel too tight or too loose during a run.
Adjust the Quicklace™ system by pulling the toggle to tighten or pressing the release button to loosen. Experiment with the tension before your activity to find the optimal fit for comfort and support.
Shoes feel less grippy on certain surfaces.
Check the lug pattern on the outsole for embedded mud, small stones, or debris. Clean them thoroughly with a damp cloth or a soft brush to restore maximum traction. Ensure the shoe is designed for the specific surface you are encountering; extremely icy or polished surfaces may still present a challenge.
Foot discomfort or rubbing after extended wear.
Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks for trail running. Re-evaluate the lacing tension; sometimes an overtightened or too loose lacing can cause discomfort. Also, confirm the shoe size is correct for your foot; foot swelling during activity can impact comfort.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
The Speedcross 3 features a Speed Lacing System. To secure your shoe:
- Slide your foot into the shoe, ensuring your heel is seated correctly.

- Tuck the excess lace and toggle into the Quicklace™ pocket located on the tongue of the shoe to prevent snagging.
Compatibility
This shoe is primarily designed for trail running and outdoor adventures. Its robust construction and aggressive tread make it ideal for:

While highly capable outdoors, its features also lend it well to urban exploration on wet days, providing superior grip on pavements and unpredictable surfaces.
Care Instructions
Proper care extends the life of your Speedcross 3:
- Cleaning: Wipe clean with a damp cloth after each use to remove mud and dirt. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive brushes, which can damage the materials. Allow to air dry naturally; do not place near direct heat sources.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Ensure shoes are completely dry before storing to prevent odor and mildew.
- Maintenance: Regularly check the Quicklace™ system for any fraying or damage. The OrthoLite® insole can be removed and air-dried if it becomes damp or requires refreshing. Inspect the outsole for embedded debris that could affect performance.
