SALOMON Men's Speedcross 4 Trail Running Shoes Waterproof

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?

I was after a pair of running shoes that would help me during this years tough mudder and was recommended Solomon speedcross as a must by the nice chaps on the forum. I went for this pair as I liked the look and the orange pair was quite a bit cheaper as I didn't care for the look as they were expected to get filthy anyway.Turns out I really liked the look of the orange anyways, they fitted perfectly, I'm a 9 and they fitted me perfectly. I proceded to wear them in on a few 6k runs and a park run which was half concrete and half mud. They are a pleasure to run in, I even shaved 1 minute off my PB while doing a park run. Although not ideal for concrete (which they are not designed for) they work perfectly off road.During tough mudder they remained comfortable and never did I have to tighten or readjust them. The easy tie laces kept banging around so I tucked the ends behind the tongue however the right one kept coming loose. Those who know tough mudder will know what your shoes go through, I give some credit for completing the course and obstacles to these trainers. They kept their grip and were comfortable when caked in mud or submerged in water, they didn't hold water very long and dried out quickly.Afterwards a quick blast from the hose and a wash in a washing machine and even though there is a slight loss of colour at the end of one of the shoes they look like new (Pictured). One minor thing and that after the race the laces won't easily pull through anymore and seem to get stuck. No regrets buying these, excellent purchase and will wear them again next year.

Love the Solomon brand - use it for work to drive and recce routes for events - lovely and comfortable, added benefit of waterproof vortex. Sizing about right. Would recommend as a good general shoe. Having used in a sporting aspect so can’t comment.

These are very good shoes for mountain running. Provide great grip to give confidence on downhills. My only issue is that the insoles are not more robust - they can move / bunch when running on rough terrain. Other than that, it’s all good (my second pair of these - others lasted c. 8 months - but took a lot of abuse in that time!!

Top cross trainer. Good fit and really comfortable.

I’ve been wearing these for 16 weeks (15-20k per week off-road all weathers) grip and support good. Stylish looks and sturdy construction so far. I went up a half size to usual and fit was slightly tight on 1 foot. I will run these through the winter and see how long it takes for them to fall apart. The previous trainers I used lasted about 8 months, these are more expensive so I’m hoping these beat that.

I wear and wear out Salomon speed cross shoes consistently, so I snapped these up when I saw them for such a good price. These were not the finished product and did not have the essential inner upper liner that makes these shoes comfortable. By the end of my first 5km in them, my feet hurt from the unfished upper digging into them. I quickly compared them to my previous pairs and could see they were not finished the same. Sadly, my return window had expired when I learned they were unwearable for running.They may have been cheaper, but for me - they are useless.

Bought these for my boyfriend & they’re never off his feet. Perfect for most outdoor activities.
