SalomonMen's Speedcross 6 Trail Running Shoes

Title: The Ultimate Trail Running ShoesReview: Salomon Trail Running Shoes are simply the best. With outstanding grip, durability, and comfort, they provide the perfect balance of support and flexibility for any terrain. Whether on rocky trails or muddy paths, their superior traction keeps you steady. Lightweight yet rugged, they’re a must-have for serious trail runners.

Fit well. Look great. Nice back to front drop for flat footed people like me. Good quality. Very comfortable. Provide great traction on all surfaces.

I have not bought any other shoes since March 2020, and I will never switch from this brand. These are my 12th pair since 2020.

Pretty serious grippers. Started wearing these as my daily for work 10+ hours a day and they are quite comfortable with the break in period lasting about a day. Color was true to the photos. They slip on and off pretty well. I wasn’t used to the tightening mechanism and wasnt sure how I would feel as apposed to laces but it offers a lot of convenience plus they stay tight all day.

Although these appear to be a well made shoe, unfortunately the 11 Wide width is NOT a wide width at all. Disappointed

I bought these shoes knowing that grippy soft rubber sole material does not last long... especially if worn on asphalt or concrete. But their grip is noteworthy, and they are much lighter than most ankle-high hiking boots.I bought them intending to restrict their use on trails only... which is what I did. I held off reviewing these shoes until I'd worn them a while. I'll be retiring them soon, and intend to replace them with a pair of Speedcross 6 GTX.They've served me well these past 10 months. I generally hike 5 to 12 miles in them each time, and have put roughly 1000 miles on them. The trails I hiked (and cleared) in them were mostly dirt trails that weren't too rocky, but were occasionally as steep as 60 degrees. I always switched to durable-soled street-running shoes immediately upon leaving grassy or wooded trail areas.I could climb and descend like a mountain goat in them.That's the most notable feature I love about them.Trails that presented no trouble for me while wearing these shoes were really dangerous while wearing durable-soled shoes designed for street-running. The soft, grippy rubber traction difference is incredible.These quickly became my "go to" hikers when clearing trails. Nice to not be slipping while sawing or limbing downed trees on steep slopes.I was surprised to discover that I'd neglected to buy the Gortex version, because my feet stayed dry in these while hiking in wet grass. I intend to buy the GTX version next time, but my feet actually stayed fairly dry in these. I never crossed streams in them, but they worked fine in wet grass.I weigh 140 pounds. If you weigh a lot more than that, if you wear them while walking on asphalt or cement sidewalks, if you walk on rough trails with a lot of talus, scree, or sharp rocks, or if you walk a lot more than 12 miles per day in them - the soles may not last as well for you.They aren't intended to be durable.The rubber on these soles is designed to assist you in sticking to slopes. Not icy slopes (you'd need to add spikes) or slick mossy slopes. But most trail slopes.Soft sticky rubber isn't as durable as the rubber designed for street-running.As long as you understand that on the front end, you won't be disappointed when these don't last nearly as long as your usual street-running shoes.Hope this helps.One additional note: if you need proprioceptive feedback while running steep slopes or knells, Inov-8 trail running shoes are better for that. These Speedcross 6 shoes are more padded and comfortable, but I can't feel the ground underneath my feet nearly as well while wearing them.If you absolutely need to know where your feet are on the ground, switch to Inov-8s (Mudclaws or similar). If you want a more comfortable workday experience while clearing trails, switch back into the Speedcross 6s as soon as you safely can.

Been wearing these for 1 monthThese shoes stand out from the crowd for their special appearance and color combination.I initially got these for casual work days and summer family weekends; comfortable enough for full active days.Gradually, I started wearing these for my daily dog walks: grippy enough to avoid the pulls, well cushioned to support my extra weight and easy to clean (can return brand new with a swipe of wet wipes).

The shoe was a perfect choice for Spartan trail race and training leading up to the race. Good in muddy/wet conditions and did not create any pain such as blistering.
