5.0 out of 5 stars The King of Trail Running Shoes.
I do a lot of trail running and hiking, and after going through several pairs of shoes, I've finally found the Salomon Speedcross series to be the best. Over the last couple of years I've gone through several pairs and about 2000 miles and they've remained my preferred shoe.First and foremost, sizing is on point but these fit narrow compared to a lot of shoes, even the wide version doesn't truly feel "wide." If you have a large/wide foot, you may want to try a pair on before you buy. However, with that said, that narrow fit usually translates to stability due to how snug around your feet they fit. Additionally, the tread on the shoes translates to the best grip I've encountered on a trail shoe which leads to a lot of confidence on the trails and hills whether it be rocky, smooth, slippery, or wet.The insoles are comfortable but in wetter conditions they can potentially curl up when descending steep hills. Additionally, I deal with a lot of foot pain, so for that they tend to run a little thin. I typically just replace the included soles with thicker, thermomoldable ones, which in my case, have consistently been the Viktos brand "Ruck Recovery" insoles but there are plenty of other options out there as well.Speaking of the tread, it's pretty durable. Through mostly dry, hard packed, southern California terrain, I'll average about 400-600 miles (or usually 4-6 months) per pair. With that said, at around 400 miles the tread around the ball of foot is usually worn down enough to consider replacing them just for the sake of potential slipping down less than stable (hard-packed with grainy pebbles/rocks and loose dirt) terrain. Also worth noting, it's not recommended to use these on pavement or asphalt, the lifespan of the tread will go down significantly if you do. So keep that in mind if you're using these in mixed terrain environments that may include paved roads.All that aside, I've yet to find a better all-around trail shoe.

These type shoes are made to fit tight. Not length but around your foot. You need to tighten them down and they “lock” your foot in nicely and after a couple weeks they conformed to my foot. They feel very comfortable after what I assume was the break-in period. I hate tying my shoes so I appreciate the system to tighten the laces. For me they could have put something better to grab when tightening as the string is small and kinda cuts into your hand when you really put pressure to get them nice and tight. What they call I believe the “garage” (where you tuck the extra laces) was a little tricky for me but I do have very narrow feet so may be why there was a lot of excess string. I got the hang of it however I could tie a regular pair of shoes in the time it takes me to get them completely squared away where they are not visible. Now on to their intended use: Trail running..... they perform better than any other trail running shoes I’ve ever owned and I’ve owned many.... probably too many! The tightness I mentioned really comes in handy running over uneven ground like rocks, mud, up and down steep inclines. The times each step has to be precise or disastrous consequences would follow. The tread on the bottom is large and knobby it provided amazing traction on my recent run on a 4 mile trail during the last two miles it came a drenching downpour. I was amazed at the lack of slipping, sliding. I do wish the shoes were waterproof however I understand It would be impossible on this model without making them airtight and very hot for all but winter runs. They do have the same model except for gtx that are waterproof. The added gortex makes them waterproof but would only be useful (to me) in the winter because gortex will burn your feet up in temps over 75f or so in my experience. So I think the trade off is well worth it. Also I need to mention although they aren’t waterproof my feet didn’t get soaked like I expected and actually stayed dry until I was close to my truck digging for my keys and I stepped in a large puddle that I didn’t notice. While I was running and dodging most deep water my feet were completely dry. Overall I do have a couple things that would be nice if added or changed I can’t remove a star on a product that does exactly what it’s made to do. If they last like I expect them too I think the price although high is worth it. I will be doing many runs so if anything fails or my review changes for the worse I will update immediately. Thanks for reading and I hope it helps someone who is on the fence about these.

This is by far the best shoe I have ever worn! Hands down.. looks and feels great. I support is perfect all the way around the foot. I know they are durable because I have one pair of the same brand. Worth ever dollar
5.0 out of 5 stars Great for Trail Running
I've been running while wearing Speed Cross shoes for years and this version didn't disappoint. I've ran long distance in all sorts of terrain and conditions without foot problems.The large lugs keep good traction in bad conditions (rain, mud, snow, I've ran all trails of all types) while still not sacrificing in good ones. Keep to the trails and the lugs last longer than one would expect, I'm talking years.I prefer good trail feel under foot (which I feel rock plates take away) and the cushioning is more than sufficient, even if you're running a 50K+ race. It doesn't break down quickly (I have gotten years out of every pair I've owned) but right out of the box I can run 20 miles, very little (of any) breaking in requiredOne other thing I absolutely love is the fast lacing system. They never come untied and if you ever need to tighten or loosen the laces a bit it takes just a few seconds. Plus, the mesh keeps even small debris (including sand) outFinally, when you eventually need to get a new pair, they can always be retired for wearing for Tough Mudders, they work great for those too!Happy Running!
Very impressed with these trail runners
A totally different running shoe than any I had before. Excellent experience: Snug, perfect grip, ultra light. Shoes are obviously very personal, but for me these are incomparably superior to my top of the line Asics running I had over the last years.
Tread wears out fast
Tread life doesn’t last long
Great fit
Comfortable, durable, well made
Bequem, relativ leicht und ausreichend Grip
Hab die Schuhe zum gelegentlichen Wandern auf rutschigem Grund gekauft und dafür sind sie super.Passform ist bei mir toll, der Grip mit den Stollen super (natürlich nur im Gelände, auf Straße eher ungünstig).Selbst Fußball kann man hilfsweise mit den Schuhe spielen.Rundum ein guter Schuh, der beim Auspacken auch nicht übermäßig nach Chemie gerochen hat.
