Salomon Speedcross 4 Trail Running Shoes

I was a regular trail runner until an accident a couple of years ago which stopped me running for a while. I'd bought a pair of trail shoes from another well known sports brand without reading the specs and used them a couple of times before my accident. After that, I cleaned them and put them away. However, I decided recently to give the trail running a go again. Within 3 weeks of using my other trail shoes, I found out that they were for a pronator and not a supinator like me. This caused a few problems with my right soleus which threatened my pretty short return to trail running. I rarely got over 2k - 3k before the pain hit me. Lesson learned - research your product. I've always been a fan of Salomon footwear (I own walking boots, walking shoes and general use shoes) so thought I'd give the Speedcross range a go after some serious digging and reading specs. Amazon had the Speedcross 4 in the colour I wanted for £66 delivered so I duly ordered them and waited for them to come in with bated breath. They arrived as predicted by Amazon and I decided the following day to give them a run out in the fields. If these didn't solve the problem, nothing would... I ran 7k non stop (albeit slower than most readers would) without so much as a twinge in my right calf. I was waiting for the inevitable tightness followed by pain but it never happened. Happy boy... I've since completed another 5k trail run and am as happy again. In fact I'm looking forward to going out running in the fields again. The Speedcross 4 is insanely light (I'm sure that there are people out there who will identify even lighter trail footwear) and my initial opinion on build quality is superb. The shoes are supportive in the right places and I certainly don't feel restricted as some have reported. Yes, they are snug around the sides, but there's room in the toe box for me to flex my toes so I don't consider this an issue. I'm usually a 9 but bought a size 10 based on the excellent reviews I've been reading. The lacing system is quick and simple which is good for if the laces need tightening mid way through a run. The sole is grippy on gravel and dirt, but I've yet to try that out in the wet. I'd imagine that the soft compound wouldn't last long on tarmac roads and paths. Not a drama for me as I'm planning my mileage on foot and bridle paths. The sole seems to soak up quite a bit of the impact which again, is a delight. I'm a supinator and have found that these shoes offer support where its needed without sacrificing weight or quality. All in all I'm really impressed. Salomon quality delivered with the reliability of Amazon, what more could a nearly 50 year old returnee to trail running want?

Really like these shoes. I normally run on roads but have been visiting Cornwall recently (when lockdown allows) and running on coastal paths and fields. I run about 1km on road to get to the paths and the shoes are fine - feel a little odd as the grip moves on hard surfaces as they are quite “tall” but it is fine for shortish distances and the grip doesn’t seem to suffer for it. Once on fields and paths these shoes are brilliant even after a night of rain the grip is awesome, no sliding at all. I feel totally sure footed when running in them. The laces are great without the need to tie them and even without any warm up I didn’t get any blisters at all - first run in them was 11k and no pain or rubbing at all. Really comfortable. Will definitely be getting another pair when these wear out but think they will last for a while. They are not water proof but that isn’t an issue as I’d rather have breathable shoes that keep my feet cool. Totally recommend.

May say straight off, this is a beautiful shoe. This is my second pair in a different colour though. I however thought I was buying a gore tex running shoe. I later found that there are two models, Buyers beware, you must look for the symbol to the right hand side of the bullet point pictures to guarantee gore tex. If there is a tag then it is waterproof, however if there is not, then you got it, No it's not waterproof. I must say though size 8 must be in popular demand. In the gore tex version because I can't get them anywhere, In this colour that is, I must say though I think I will actually use these for casual ware & wait for the gore tex set come back.These are so good looking to trash on the hills & roads. Did I mention these are stunning looking & they are the best fitting, comfortable shoes off the internet I have ever bought. My First pair are still going well after two years only on park runs, grass & tarmac though, the only sighs of wear on the tread, to be expected the rest of the shoe, with a good wash look as good as new. I would truly recommend this shoe to the runner & the casual shoe wearer, for comfort & style. Thank you Salomon for a superb shoe.

This is my 4th pair of Speedcross shoes so you can tell I really like them! Salomon sizing is a bit small so I always get a size larger that usual (I'm a UK size 9 so I get a UK size 10) and it's still a snug but very comfortable fit. The only issue I have is that they all fall apart in the same way - the fabric that bends along the toe joint gives out 1st and then the glue on the sole unit fails and they fall off. I guess Salomon don't fix the design because it helps sell more shoes. That said, I don't look after them at all and they last a year or so, so as long as you know that then get a pair and enjoy excellent traction in the mud!

Very sturdy trainer for bootcamp. Studs provide solid grip on muddy ground. Very pleased with item

Bought these as a bit of a rest period from Vibram Spyridon MR's & KSO EVO's, which I've been using for the past 18 months , due to a slight nagging pain in my left heel , I decided to give these bad boys a try . Having tried a size 8 and a size 9 in my local store , and having read umpteen reviews, I opted for size 9, which felt extremely comfortable and secure . A steady 3 mile ( mostly hills) trail run was a pleasure , and the trainers performance was superb . Now the width of these trainers is spot on , but I'm wondering if an 8.5 would of been a better option , between the end of my big toe and the end of trainer there's probably half inch , I do like my feet to fill the trainer , however for the time being I'll persist with the 9 , and go for that 8.5 at a later date . Anyway great product and definitely worth considering 👍🏻

I've recently joined a bootcamp exercise club and quickly realised my existing trainers were not going to be up to the job of working out in a slightly muddy field, I was slipping and sliding all over the place! The trainer recommended I get a pair of Salomons and it was a great choice. Went for the blue and white size 9s (I'm a size 8.5 usually) and they fit fine. They have a cool lacing system that means you just slip the shoes on a pull a little toggle to tighten them up, no laces for you to trip on. In use these have been brilliant, they offer loads of grip, a massive improvement over my previous trainers, you can feel them grip the ground when you dig in. The grips are far apart making these easy to clean after use. Be warned they're not completely waterproof, you'll see in the video review I pop a shoe under the tap and come out with a very soggy sock!

I bout 2 pairs and one I could use part time and hated the other the black one made in Vietnam the same size marked as the red ones that I ordered YET I can't come close to getting my foot into them total waist. Sits and gathers dust. I tried to write a review for the other pair but your system will not allow me to so I will add it here as the red pair was manufactured in another country I would give it 3 stars the fit was very tight more than bike shoes I could use it one day a week two at most. They are the first pair of shoes that the heal wore through while the shoe was still good. You need a much higher quality Bottom and heal and you have to get the sizes right while I ordered and they say size 49 the black ones would be 46 and the red 47 your product could be so good yet you destroyed them with inconsistent sizing and poor quality bottoms. Had they been the right size and better quality I would have ordered them again and again as needed so I changed to Merrill. They have their issues as they could learn from you on how to keep the top and bottom together but your bottom of the shoe should never wear out like Merrill after years of using them nearly every day. Someone needs to put the two qualities into a pair of shoes WIN WIN.

Passt wie angegossen. Super Sportschuh, sehr schnelle Lieferung.

Very good shoe. On my second pair, and plan to buy this shoe again once my present pair wears out. I like the lacing method, it's quick and gives good support to my feet. The fit is right on the money for me. I trail run with these shoes and the traction is very good even on sandy hard packed surfaces. I typically toss the insoles that come with these shoes (and others) in favor of some better ones that work with my foot shape, but that's not a ding on this shoe, just my odd foot. Update: I just got my 5th pair of these shoes. I can now say I know certain things about them: 1. When trail running, they last between 500 to 600 miles on hard packed desert type terrain 2. They run true to size, however the 5th pair I bought I decided to buy them 1/2 size bigger to see if it helps me not thrash my toes when running downhill. I did 18 miles in the larger shoe today, but honestly I'm still not sure this is the cure. I have to tighten the laces so much to grip my foot that eventually it gives me foot cramps from lack of circulation. I end up loosening the laces again, which causes my foot to once again bash into the front of my shoe mile-after-mile... 3. These are really great shoes. They are very well constructed, and I have not had any issue with the 5 pairs I have bought. I will definitely buy a 6th pair when these run out. 4. I immediately throw away the factory insole as it's pretty lame. I buy an insole that I like and stick that in instead. 5. As you can see from the picture, these shoes are not as good as paws. My dog has been with me for every mile, and he's still on his first set of paws... 2024 Update - On my 14th pair of these shoes and averaging about 450 miles per pair of shoes. I still love them. The half size too big is a winner for me. My dog is still on his first set of paws after 6.5k miles, so no contest there.

Hola los tenes padrisimos buena calidad envío super rápido el detalle es que me llegaron muy chicos ..aconsejó checar bien la tabla de medidas y sacar todas sus dudas primero. No problema lo arreglaron super rápido y la devolución tardó aprox.5 días.

I wanted to wait and write this review after using the shoes in an actual race. Just finished The Spartan Super today. These shoes were great. It was a hilly and extremely muddy course. These shoes had great traction going uphill, downhill, on the trail, in the creeks and rivers and on the obstacles. Other runners were slipping. I had no problem maintaining a foothold. If you are running in a Spartan, these shoes will certainly help. Salomon makes excellent products and this is one of them.
