I bought the Speedcross 5's about a month ago and wore them a total of 1 time. I have been a longtime wearer of the Speedcross 3's (3 pair) and was excited to try the newest version. I was very disappointed after the first time I wore these because they were so tight across the midfoot and in the toe box. I figured that they may stretch a bit, but they did not. Also, the high stack in the heel left me with aching legs and hip flexors. Strange, because the 3's never did that. I ordered the same size in the 3's that I did in the 5's as well thinking that they would be about the same according to the reviews and sizing chart that was referenced. That was a mistake. I most likely would need 1/2 to a full size up. Not happy with these at all. I might have been better ... MoreI bought the Speedcross 5's about a month ago and wore them a total of 1 time.

The Solomon Speedcross 5s are awesome! Exceptional overall design and construction especially with the GTX model! The new low-profile laminated construction saves weight and it’s looks super slick! The new thicker and more durable, better treads are awesome as well, they’re way more comfortable and more adaptable when walking on wet tarmac if needed. There is one feature I’d definitely would like to see added to these sneaker and that is there needs to be an additional centered “climbing“ shoelace loop in the center of the top portion of the four-foot for a stronger adjustability/hold in the toe-box. Because Solomon have now lengthened and widen the toe-box a little too much, they’ve slightly overcompensated now. It’s simple if you have wide feet get the wide model. ... MoreThe Solomon Speedcross 5s are awesome! Exceptional overall design and construction especially with the GTX model!

There is exceptional underfoot comfort with good arch support but I would like to see even more arch support in the OrthoLite insoles, and the height of the drop is totaly perfect. If Salomon makes the toe-box any bigger it's going to be too sloppy, as it is already slightly sloppy already for me compared to the Speedcross 3s which I admit were snug. Never had the 4s. The Speedcross 5 GTXs are by far the best Outdoor Gore-Tex Sneakers on the market! I am the one that requested Salomon to bring GTX / Gore-Tex model here to the States, so thank you Salomon :) I’d like to see the toe-box shortened by 1 or 2 mm as well as the 1 or 2 mm in the width, as the toe-box has become a bit too sloppy now. In years past with some of the complaining about the toe-box being too narrow Salomon has now overcompensated to much unfortunately, but the design and construction is excellent! I have now purchased three pairs because I like them so much, I would just like to have the toe-box slightly tweaked/decreased by 1 to 2 mm a bit. It would be cool to see this exact same upper with midsole with a hybrid tread geared for slippery tarmac conditions, and also a mid version with some ankle support. GearFreakNY Approved!

I’d give the shoe overall a 4+, except for the sole. the cross 5 is quality— breathable yet still good in cold. im used to minimalist trail runners so it is bulkier, but thats good for rock protection (which i needed) and still lightweight. Soles: i used to never understand the hype behind vibram soles, but after a couple pair of non-vibram salomons, i get it, and may actually be the main factor in my not getting another pair of salomons? i’d give salomon soles a 2; they do wear down way to quickly as others state. Fit: very nice, very comfortable, well thought out debris protection over tongue, etc . maybe just a little loose around the ankle, but again, im used to NB minimalist trail runners that are very snug (on my 5th pair). a feature id like to see (i had a ... MoreI’d give the shoe overall a 4+, except for the sole. the cross 5 is quality— breathable yet still good in cold. im used to minimalist trail runners so it is bulkier, but thats good for rock protection (which i needed) and still lightweight.

Bought my first pair of these for an off-trail backpack trip in the eastern Sierras last summer. They were great, and I continued to use them for hiking, walking, and casual wear throughout the year. Did another eastern Sierra hike this summer, and bought a new pair, and again they were perfect for the demands of talus, scree, granite slabs, snow patches, and stream crossings. No blisters or hot spots on my feet, even having only broken them in minimally. And so comfortable that after hiking 12 miles out on our last day, I just kept them on for the 6 hour drive home to San Diego.
If there is one thing I’ve learned over the years, don’t scrimp on shoes! I have really high arches and so I’ve searched far and wide for a shoes that will provide great arch support. I’ve tried all of the name brands, spent hundreds of dollars on the ”top-of-the-line” all to still have to wear my orthotics. Enter Solomon. A buddy of mine recommended I should try them so I hit the local store and bought my first pair. That was five years ago and I’m now on my fourth pair of Speed Cross. They work great as a golf shoe, a running shoe or casual out on the town. Looks especially great with no-show socks and shorts! I no longer have to wear my orthotics. I did notice a slight build quality difference between my first and second pair. My first pair had zero issues other ... MoreIf there is one thing I’ve learned over the years, don’t scrimp on shoes!

I did notice a slight build quality difference between my first and second pair. My first pair had zero issues other than the soles wore out. My second pair had a lace eyelet tear through and the pocket to hide the laces on the tongue seemed not to keep the laces laces tucked as well as my first pair. This my second pair was nearly to the end of their life with very little tread left when these issue occurred so they were pretty tired. Build quality between my two new pair seem identical no differences that I can tell.
I bought this shoe since it was high praised by all and advertised as rugged and durable.After being in the box for a month, I took them out on their first outing on an easy groomed gravel trail and then began climbing relatively steep, clean terrain. Immediately the upper portions of the shoe that are welded above the mesh started to peel back and cause flaps. Now everytime i walk in grass or just a dirt patch pieces will get stuck in these flaps and its uncomfortable.Note that customer service is horrendous for Salomon. I bought these through Sail but Salomon policy forces people to go through Salomon instead of retailers. Tried contacting customer service multiple times about the defective pair and I keep getting completely ignored its incredibly ... MoreI bought this shoe since it was high praised by all and advertised as rugged and durable.After being in the box for a month, I took them out on their first outing on an easy groomed gravel trail and then began climbing relatively steep, clean terrain.

I bought these through Sail but Salomon policy forces people to go through Salomon instead of retailers. Tried contacting customer service multiple times about the defective pair and I keep getting completely ignored its incredibly frustrating.Only gave two stars as the shoe itself is very comfortable when not filled with material, but is not at all durable like I had expected from the advertisements. Even after the short hikes I started noticing wear on the shoe right away. Recommend sticking to paved or graveled easy routes, nothing too advanced.
Updates in the SpeedCross 5 sadly leave us narrow/ low volume feet people seeking a new line of shoes - it's a much bigger shoe! I'm sure the wider/ higher volume fit with stretchy toe box works well for most technical trail runners with normal to wide feet, but so do the majority of other shoes out there - including many other Salomon styles. I know the "squeaky wheel gets the grease," and I've seen hosts of complaints about the SpeedCross being too narrow for most, BUT most shoes are too wide for me and there are very few shoes out there for the low volume narrow fit mens foot. I've logged well over ten thousand miles on the SpeedCross 1-4 on technical trails and got an ankle injury on my first run with the 5s from my foot slopping around in the shoe (literally ... MoreUpdates in the SpeedCross 5 sadly leave us narrow/ low volume feet people seeking a new line of shoes - it's a much bigger shoe!

I've logged well over ten thousand miles on the SpeedCross 1-4 on technical trails and got an ankle injury on my first run with the 5s from my foot slopping around in the shoe (literally swimming in the toe box). I hope the 6 returns to the classic fit and that the 5 either dies or turns into a new line with a different name. I spent thousands of dollars trying shoes before I found the SpeedCross 1 over a decade ago, and both myself and my feet would prefer to not go through that search process again. Salomon, what shoe (yours or otherwise) would you recommend for those that the the SpeedCross 5 updates fail? My only positive about the shoe is that the larger lugs seem like they'll hold up better on rocky trails.
I am starting to train for obstacle course races in 2021. When I first started looking for footwear, I was overwhelmed with all of those "Top 10" & "Best of" reviews & comparisons. Being frustrated, I asked experienced OCR racers on a Facebook group that I am a member of for their suggestions since footwear is the most important and expensive thing to purchase for an OCR. The overall consensus of my inquiry led me to either this shoe or one other, but I liked a lot more features on this shoe such and that it is more for a heal strike type of runner.On a road trip to over Labor Day, I happened to come across an REI dealer where I could physically try these shoes on and was glad I did.

Normally I have to wear wide shoes for extra room in the toe box because the front of my foot is wider than average due to wearing toe shoes for several years.The wide shoe I tried did feel good with plenty of room for my toes, but I nearly had to tighten the laces completely, so after I would have broken the shoe in after a while, the width would have been too big on me. When I tried on the regular shoe it felt amazing, I could tighten them a little better while still being able to tighten them more as I wear them more, and to my surprise, there was still plenty of room in the toe box.I have taken these out on local trails a few times and purposefully walked on uneven terrain, rocks, gravel, grass, through some mud, and up & down some hills with varying grades to test them out. These have exceeded my expectations on all terrains & not getting completely caked after going through mud causing them to lose grip.
I left my trusty Speedcross 3 in North America when i had to do a quick evac and return to the UK at the start of Covid. Winter came and i was slip sliding all over the place in the only running shoes i had with me - minimalist summer trail running shoes. I saw the reviews online for the Speedcross 5 shoe and the updates they had made - so i took the plunge and bought a pair, same size as before. I received them super quick from Sigma, tried them on and thought - "oh jeez: these shoes are cramping my wide feet - they'll never work". Then i went for a trial run - man oh man was i in heaven. The Sensifit technology means they stretch to fit my feet - but NOT cramp them. They just hug my feet and keep them comfy and snug, even when going through streams and puddles, ... MoreI left my trusty Speedcross 3 in North America when i had to do a quick evac and return to the UK at the start of Covid.

The Sensifit technology means they stretch to fit my feet - but NOT cramp them. They just hug my feet and keep them comfy and snug, even when going through streams and puddles, and even when sweating during the summer. The fit is true to size - just like all Salomon boots and shoes. And the performance is brilliant - uphill or downhill on slippery mud they keep their traction, over severely rutted and crumbly fire-roads they hold their grip, and on those tarmac link roads between trails the feel of the knobbly soles is smooth and unnoticeable. These are now my go-to shoe whatever the weather, whatever the time of year - every time i run with them, i have full confidence in my grip, comfort and safety. Boy am i glad i got them as i now feel confident i can boost my mileage with these on to half-marathons and beyond
I bought this shoe about a year back to start running OCR. Unfortunately before I ran my first race I broke my ankle roller skating and was down for around 6 months. Soon after I had rebuilt strength in my ankle I ran my first mud run OCR. I was super excited about these shoes and had done some "dry" trail running previously. Unfortunately, immediately after my first water obstacle when I was going down a hill the Ortholite sockliner bunched up underneath the ball of my foot. I tried stopping to straighten it out but it just continued to bunch up. I ran a Spartan Sprint today and the same exact thing happened. It's really disappointing considering the incredibly high reviews on the product. I also am unable to locate replacement sockliners on Salomon's website.
