SalomonMen’s Speedcross Trail Running Shoes

Outstanding shoe! Light, looks good, quick to lace/tighten, repels water, aggressive tread, super comfortable.

This is my 5th pair of Salomon Speedcross trail runners. I usually buy a pair a year and wear them practically every day for everything. Note that I do NOT use these for trail or road running as I'm not a runner, so this review is for people who use these as regular sneakers. (That doesn't mean they're not excellent for trail running--I just wouldn't know what to compare them to.) They're incredibly comfortable. The sole is really grippy. It has a fast drawstring lace system that works flawlessly. It also has a laces "garage" at the top of the tongue which sounds like a gimmick but is dead useful. They're very good looking shoes that you can wear pretty much anywhere informal. They're pretty durable; as I said I wear mine almost every day. And I like the gray color which is subtle and goes with everything.PLEASE NOTE: My review is for a pair of shoes that are only labeled "Speedcross." I am assuming they are genuine but the Speedcross series is numbered. For example, the ones I bought replaced a pair of Speedcross 5's. (I didn't buy the most recent Speedcross 6's because the new graphics are hideous.) I'm a little suspicious because these shoes were low-priced and do not have a number. However, they seem to be the real thing (perhaps a version for an overseas market?) and feel just like the ones I replaced. I hope these continue to be available because the newest version 6 is truly ugly and I can only imagine what the 7 series will look like.

I have had a pair of Solomon shoes for hiking that I bought about 4 years ago. They have always fit great, felt awesome all day, and really helped me get around on trails from gravel to rocks. I always have great grip! The way they look has always been a bit... Uh... Utilitarian. Not ugly by any means but not super stylish. They've held up amazing and I still use them all the time. Just recently hiked the whole grand canyon rim with these!When the time came to finally spend some money on everyday shoes, I was racking my head for brands I could trust. I was a fan of Puma sneakers but recently the quality has been kinda trash and I have to replace them like 3x a year.I was happy to see these in all black. They kinda have a Euro sporty look and the same lace-free design that I love about my hiking shoes.Since I have been more active these days I figured a more durable shoe would be better for my needs. They are good looking enough to wear every day but great for the occasional casual 4 mile evening walk. I look forward to many happy months (maybe years?) with these shoes.

Very light, very comfortable. Worn on several obstacle course races. Never have to re-tighten. Also these have been submerged in water and mud and they fit great again after drying.

I've been using a version of this shoe since the Speedcross 3 back in 2015. Overall quality has been great and the fit/support/performance is excellent. And they look great. I just bought my 5th pair.About me: Size 13; 6' tall; 295 lbs (think ex-linebacker build - I could lose some weight but pretty solid)How I typically use them: fast moving hikes; 5 to 7 miles; 1 to 3 times per week; mixed gravel, dirt/muck, roots, rocks, plenty of slippery leavesThe Speedcross are very (VERY) grippy, which is nice considering the terrain I'm often on. I find the support is decent.Comfort level is very good but I will say on the rare occasions where I'm getting over 8 or 9 miles, I will start to feel it. That could be a factor of my weight as much as the shoe. Absolutely no comfort issues up to that point though.The lacing system is easy to figure out and works really well. I did break a lace on a pair a few years ago and was able to buy a replacement for it which lasted until the shoes wore out. No problemThe caveat? My experience is the soles wear out pretty quickly - especially on the SC6. And especially if you use on sand and/or pavement much - which I've learned to try to avoid. I think this is a direct effect of the grippiness of the soles which, again, is excellent. I've gone back to the SC5 this time (price) but both versions have this issue.Still.... recommended.

Love the feel of this shoe. The arch support and grip is ideal for trail running, hiking and just everyday wear. I’m a trail runner, and this is by far the best shoe I’ve come across for some time now. Speed laces are tight and remain in place at all times. Highly recommend.

5 stars as always! I just got my 4th pair today, these shoes consistently last me 2 years. I work in landscaping and spend all my spare time in the outdoors. These shoes suit both work with a semi professional and practical look and fun outdoors for their durable build, easy lace up and comfortable feel. Also very water resistant. Can’t go wrong!

I am 50 yrs old and mow lawns 30-40 hrs /week. These shoes are super comfortable. Feet don’t hurt one bit at the end of the day. The traction is crazy good. And they’re lightweight.
