Customers are mixed about the fit of the shoes. Some mention that the sizing was reliable, the shoes run true to size, and the full sole aggressive lugs are bigger and further apart. However, others say that they feel a little small and are too tight after 1 hour of trail running. The only downside is the inaccurate sising, as the shoes are very narrow and not wide width.

"...One other thing I absolutely love is the fast lacing system. They never come untied and if you ever need to tighten or loosen the laces a bit it..." Read more

"...types of terrain, I especially recommend these for their sole on loose and rocky climbs and descents; wherever you want to concentrate on your foot..." Read more

"...First and foremost, sizing is on point but these fit narrow compared to a lot of shoes, even the wide version doesn't truly feel "wide."..." Read more

Customers are mixed about the durability of the shoes. Some mention that they are durable enough for what they do and still feel great after 12 hours, they do have a solid structure to them. However, others say that the chevrons on the sole felt less sturdy and rigid than the 5. They also say that they wear out quickly on pavement and concrete, and the tread wears down quickly.

"...It doesn't break down quickly (I have gotten years out of every pair I've owned) but right out of the box I can run 20 miles, very little (of any)..." Read more

"...Worn them for about 200 miles of trail running. They barely show any signs of wear.Things that I love about these shoes..." Read more

"...I deal with a lot of foot pain, so for that they tend to run a little thin...." Read more

The Salomon Speed Cross 5s have been my go-to trail running shoes for the past few years. This is my 5th pair of them but the first that I’ve ordered through Amazon. The sizing is consistent, I’m a 10.5-11 (US) and the 10.5 fits me perfectly.The shoes are very comfortable and provide good support and cushion for both on and off road running. The stand out feature is the aggressive tread which provides great traction on mud, snow, loose gravel, scree and grass. While still being comfortable on pavement.I’ve worn them on strenuous hikes (as mountaineering approach shoes) and on many long trail runs. They usually last me 4-6 months of regular use before the tread wears flat under the balls of my feet and I retire them.I’ve also owned the GTX (goretex) version and that was nice but not really worth the extra cost IMO.The worn out shoes in the photos are about 5 months old and ready to be retired. I’m not sure exactly but I probably got about 300 miles out of them.be aware that running on pavement wears them out noticeably faster, regardless I can’t recommend them highly enough!I really hope that Salomon will keep them in the lineup, part of me wants to stockpile extra pairs in case they get cancelled. They’re THAT GOOD!
Thank you for your feedback

5.0 out of 5 stars The King of Trail Running Shoes.
Reviewed in the United States on April 7, 2023
I do a lot of trail running and hiking, and after going through several pairs of shoes, I've finally found the Salomon Speedcross series to be the best. Over the last couple of years I've gone through several pairs and about 2000 miles and they've remained my preferred shoe.

First and foremost, sizing is on point but these fit narrow compared to a lot of shoes, even the wide version doesn't truly feel "wide." If you have a large/wide foot, you may want to try a pair on before you buy. However, with that said, that narrow fit usually translates to stability due to how snug around your feet they fit. Additionally, the tread on the shoes translates to the best grip I've encountered on a trail shoe which leads to a lot of confidence on the trails and hills whether it be rocky, smooth, slippery, or wet.

The insoles are comfortable but in wetter conditions they can potentially curl up when descending steep hills. Additionally, I deal with a lot of foot pain, so for that they tend to run a little thin. I typically just replace the included soles with thicker, thermomoldable ones, which in my case, have consistently been the Viktos brand "Ruck Recovery" insoles but there are plenty of other options out there as well.

Speaking of the tread, it's pretty durable. Through mostly dry, hard packed, southern California terrain, I'll average about 400-600 miles (or usually 4-6 months) per pair. With that said, at around 400 miles the tread around the ball of foot is usually worn down enough to consider replacing them just for the sake of potential slipping down less than stable (hard-packed with grainy pebbles/rocks and loose dirt) terrain. Also worth noting, it's not recommended to use these on pavement or asphalt, the lifespan of the tread will go down significantly if you do. So keep that in mind if you're using these in mixed terrain environments that may include paved roads.

All that aside, I've yet to find a better all-around trail shoe.

Excelente agarre, las use en unas prácticas de rapel/asensos y en todas presento excelente agarre, los cordones firmes, cómodas y ligeras; al precio de compra estuvo con muy buen descuento. Lo único que pudiera notar negativo es en las tallas. Consideré para un empeine grande medio o un número más, calzo normalmente 8 en Adidas, así que compré 8.5 Salomon y me quedaron bastante justas.
