To create the next generation speed cross 5, we went back to the source code, capitalizing on the values that make speed cross legendary. Even more grip, and a more dynamic upper set a new high-bar on performance and fit. And with better stability and a refined look, A new Legend has arrived.

OutdoorGearLab

The Salomon Speedcross 5 has long been known for its insanely aggressive outsole, a feature that forced almost every competing shoe brand to imitate it. Salomon has improved this by making the rubber on the sole even stickier so that it acts like glue to rock &mdash; even wet rock. They also significantly widened the forefoot of this notoriously narrow shoe by a significant margin, which increased both comfort and wearability for those with wider feet. This change also improved from past versions by adding a larger landing platform. In addition to making the arrow-shaped lugs larger and farther apart for easier mud shedding and increasing the durability of the already beefy upper, these changes make this the best version of the Speedcross in at least the last six years. The shoe still fits like a glove, with the foot securely locked in place with Salomon's quick lace system; it feels supremely comfortable right out of the box. We've been running in these shoes for more than eight years now and saw our love for them diminish as they got narrower and tighter as time went on. However, this newest version has won us back over.
We once again love to run in this shoe, but it still has some features that seem a bit outdated. Our biggest gripe is the 10 mm heel-to-toe drop, combined with the thick and high-off-the-ground heel counter. It's not only unstable, especially when running downhill, but a bit of a relic of a bygone era in shoe design. These days it's also pretty heavy on the spectrum of ever-lighter trail shoes. It also retains its reputation for running a bit warm and short on breathability, which means these shoes are better used for higher altitude mountain runs where the air is cool. While many other companies have put serious effort into improving the traction on their shoes, our side-by-side testing shows that the Speedcross 5 simply grips the best. If you enjoy running off-trail or in the mountains where the ground is often wet, snowy, muddy, rocky, and steep, this is an ideal choice, with traction unrivaled by any other shoe.

Switchback Travel

The Speedgoat above is a nicely cushioned go-to for well-established trail networks, but it suffers on particularly soft terrain like mud and snow. In these conditions, you’ll want a full rubber outsole (the Speedgoat uses a combination of rubber and foam) with relatively long and widely spaced lugs that bite into the ground with each step. Salomon’s trail-eating Speedcross 5 sets the standard for this category, combining massive 6-millimeter arrow-shaped lugs and a supportive and snug-fitting upper for impressive control at speed. Tack on a thick midsole, single-pull lace system, and sturdy yet still reasonably light chassis, and you get one of the most capable trail designs, whether your run takes you over snow, sand, or wet leaves and thick mud.

But while the Speedcross is hard to beat on soft terrain, it’s not a particularly versatile shoe. The tooth-like lugs and aggressive build are overkill on easy trails and gravel roads, and the tall stack height can feel tippy on uneven ground (plus, shorter lugs offer better traction on rock). For off-trail exploration, we’d recommend a more planted, rock-ready design like the Sense Ride above or Bushido below. But for wet and rugged forest paths, the Speedcross is incredibly purpose-built, even down to details like the anti-debris mesh upper and gusseted tongue. And for those who regularly get out in the cold and wet, the Speedcross 5 is also sold in a Gore-Tex version, which retails for $150.See the Men's Salomon Speedcross 5  See the Women's Salomon Speedcross 5

 I would like to know how they've held up for you in the comments below anyways moving on to the midsole. It is their energy cell branded midsole, and it's designed to be very responsive and it's very light as well, and even when you're out running you do kind of notice the rebound on it and the midsole does go kind of up in our cups around the heel. Just to give some extra support and protection, but in combination with the ortholite insole, it really does add a whole other degree of comfort to this shoe and i have a lot of comfortable shoes. But i have to say this is probably one of my most comfortable shoes

 Just to give some extra support and protection, but in combination with the ortholite insole, it really does add a whole other degree of comfort to this shoe and i have a lot of comfortable shoes. But i have to say this is probably one of my most comfortable shoes. I went true to size and i have zero complaints with it. What'S nice about these salomon shoes, if you do have wide feet, they do offer wide versions as well

 I went true to size and i have zero complaints with it. What'S nice about these salomon shoes, if you do have wide feet, they do offer wide versions as well. So again, i would just go true to size and if you got wide feet they got you covered, salomon does have their branded scentsy fit support upper and that's all the zigzag lines you see here in combination with the lacing system. It does provide really good support for your foot and i'm not sure what exact material it's made out of visually

 So again, i would just go true to size and if you got wide feet they got you covered, salomon does have their branded scentsy fit support upper and that's all the zigzag lines you see here in combination with the lacing system. It does provide really good support for your foot and i'm not sure what exact material it's made out of visually. Virtually no braking period whatsoever and also the lacing system does a really good job of supporting your foot even uh, when you haven't really broken them in or had them that long. So i know that, lastly, the breathability - it's really nice, i don't notice my feet getting hot at all and a reason why i didn't go with the gore-tex ones is just where i live

Salomon Speedcross 5 | Review & Styling

 Has these really big lugs that start at the end of the toe and work their way all the way to the heel and the pattern of these lugs is in such a way that it's going to offer traction whether you're going up or if you need braking Traction going down a hill and the rubber on this outsole is what solomon calls their contagrip again, my first time using it, but i can attest to how grippy this outsole is. I had no slipping issues whatsoever. I went over some wet rocks, some wet roots, plenty of mud, so job well done on the outsole. Now i'll talk about how it fits and how it feels so

 As far as price of the shoe, when i first had it sent to me, i had no idea what the price was and i grabbed the shoe and i looked at how heavy duty it is and how aggressive the outsole is, and i thought that the shoe Must be at least 200, so i was really shocked when i looked up and i found that the price was 170, canadian or 140 us, i think for a shoe that fits so nice and performs so well in poor conditions. That'S a really decent price and, if you've ran in solomon's or view of experience of speed, cross 5 comment down below and let me know what your thoughts are and if you want to see another review on a trail shoe, i did the cloud ultra. You can check that out here. The shoe is a really great road to trails, option and i'll see in the next video 

 I went over some wet rocks, some wet roots, plenty of mud, so job well done on the outsole. Now i'll talk about how it fits and how it feels so. The speed cross 5 for myself fits true to size, i'm usually a men's eight and a half in most other brands, and the speed cross 5 was no exception. I will say, though, that the midfoot in the shoe is quite narrow

Salomon Speedcross 5 Review | First Impressions

 Otherwise, the sides have these triangular vents that really help aerate the shoe, as well as the toe. The toe box is really nice, reinforced welded technology. That'S gon na stand up to a lot of abuse and the shoe built for rugged terrain. It'S gon na see that abuse

 Salomon speed cross 5. So there's a lot of things that I liked about the Salomon speed cross 5 on the first and most obvious that you're gon na see is the 5 millimeter lugs on the sole of the shoe. These guys are nothing short of a cleat. The Contra grip sole is super super grippy

Salomon Speedcross 5 test and review - A beast of a trail running shoe

 All right. It was way more comfortable for me to hike in light-weight kind of like running, focused juice compared to heavy rigid boots. Now part of that is probably largely because of my environment here in Southern California, it's a different terrain than a lot of other places. So if you live somewhere else, this may not apply to you as much, but for me I find that I prefer to be agile and be weighed down, even by sacrificing some of that rigidity

 You can tuck all of the lace into and then you're good to go. These I was worried before I got these that these cinches wouldn't stay tight, that the ratchet the latch thing would kind of come undone on its own. I have had zero, loosening and, like I said, I've got miles in these. It'S not like I've done one test, hike and - and that's been, that these have been through the wringer and yeah all of the seams and seals are holding really well

 I wore just some old, like cross-training shoes that were the ones I had played volleyball in and that since gotten new one, so I wasn't worried about him getting ruined or anything like that, and I found that when I was hiking in those, it was way way Way more comfortable for me well has a terrifying spider with an egg pouch gross. It'S got bees on there too. All right. It was way more comfortable for me to hike in light-weight kind of like running, focused juice compared to heavy rigid boots

 They protect my feet from everything. I'Ve kicked through stomped through run into they're, good for jumping and landing in. They have good arch support. They'Re comfortable, oh yeah they're, in my opinion, the perfect shoe to hike in especially for a day hike, and I have trail running them as well and they're built for that

Salomon Speedcross 5. Why I hike in Trail Running Shoes instead of Boots.

 But it is, you know it's just a good, solid training shoe and guess what I prefer a little bit of weight in my training shoes, because when you put on a really really lightweight racing shoe you just it's a little bit of a men, Oh game. But you just feel so much faster and as far as the price goes, one hundred and thirty dollars is what I paid. However - and I don't - I actually don't understand how they're able to price point this shoe at one hundred and thirty, because I feel like it's really well constructed, there's a lot of material. That'S why it way is eleven point: three ounces, there's a lot of material in this shoe, and so I'm just trying to figure out how Salomon is able to pull off that price point

 I could feel it today because the stack height of the heel is just a little higher than most shoes out there. It is a heavy shoe, it is a heavy shoe. My version size, eight is eleven point, three ounces, so basically three hundred and twenty grams. So it's heavy and that's okay, that's! Okay! It'S not a racing shoe, although I might use it for the vertical K, race and Aspen going up the snow

 But thank you Salomon for keeping it pretty reasonable, especially compared to some of your other shoes, but also camp saver calm. If you could, maybe in the next two years three years, if you could shed like one ounce or one and a half ounces, I think that would be a nice like challenge to shoot for because I don't mind the weight. But I think that would be pretty amazing if you could keep the general luck, action and overall protection that you will receive and running in this shoe on the rocky trails, while still just reducing the weight. Just a teeny tiny bit

If it ain't broke, don't fix it is the mantra Salomon lives by regarding the legendary Speedcross line. The newest iteration, the Salomon Speedcross 6, includes minor design tweaks that improve upon the already great platform without reinventing the wheel. Long known for its aggressive outsole and unrivaled traction, designers modified the rubber compound to improve performance in muddy conditions. They fine-tuned the sagittate lug pattern for an even better grip on mud, rock, and everything in between. This new version is slightly lighter than the previous model, updating the upper to include more mesh for improved breathability. But don't worry, the Speedcross 6 still offers a glove-like fit straight out of the box. We're fast approaching a decade of running in these shoes, and our heart only grows fonder for this beloved trail runner.
Despite our gushing, we still have a few criticisms of this specialty shoe. Our biggest carry-over complaint between the previous version and the Speedcross 6 is the overly-assertive and outdated drop design. With a thick heel counter and 10mm heel-to-toe drop, this shoe is particularly unstable when running downhill. Although the breathability has improved by tweaking the type of mesh over the instep and forefoot, the Speedcross is better deployed during the cold weather months or high-altitude runs through the mountains. On the flip side, with other, less supportive, and less comfortable shoes pushing into its weight class, we no longer complain about the heft of the Speedcross 6. There is no better option for those who like to run off-trail, over snowy mountains, through muddy river bottoms, and up steep, rocky crags.

  These shoes are amazing. love the laces and love the feel.  However, like knobby tires on a bike or car, these wear super fast on asphalt. As much as I like them, I feel reluctant to wear them on the street because they wear down so quickly

great but wear out quickly

  Another thing with the insole... you can walk without it, but don't try replacing it other insoles

 When wet, however, it is another matter.  Salomon. Please sell the insoles! It is a real issue.  Update II: I decided to do a serious test to see just what is up with these insoles

Best Shoes I've Ever Owned.

 This shoe, of course, shares many of the same characteristics as previous generations, counter-grip outsole, sensor-fit construction, energy cell midsole, compound and of course the famous quick-draw lacing system that has helped to make Salomon shoes so iconic. After all, if it's not broke, don't mess with it. Best suited to mixed terrain, especially soft and muddy ground, an updated outsole means that the Speedcross 6 sheds more mud more quickly than ever before. Plus, an improved lug pattern with 5mm lug depth means it delivers an even better grip on wet and muddy surfaces

 The Speedcross 6 is a neutral fit and has the same 10mm drop as its predecessor, with a height differential of 32mm at the heel to 22mm at the toe, which is slightly lower than the Speedcross 5 at 35 and 25mm. It's also a much lighter model, weighing in at 262g compared to the 320g for the Speedcross 5, making this a more appealing shoe for both training and racing. So here it is folks, the one we've all been waiting for, the new Salomon Speedcross 6, our go-to, all-round, super reliable, tried and tested trail running shoe.

 The Speedcross needs no introductions. Staying true to its legendary routes and trail status, this version is lighter with an even more powerful grippy connection to the ground and faster mud evacuation, featuring a revamped upper that's both functional and fiery and complete with the classic Speedcross comfort.
