I've had them now for about a month and a half, and i couldnt be happier! I upgraded my 5 year old well worn speedcross 3 gtx to the 5 gtx! The speedcross 3 gtx being my favorite shoe for years served their purpose and the speedcross 5 gtx still fit my foot as good as the 3 but with more comfort and a slimmer profile. Absolutely love these! Would recommend to anyone!

This is my third pair of Salomon trail running shoes. The traction is excellent, and I do not have to wear my orthotic inserts with any of my Salomon shoes. The support for my feet is the best that I have found. I was a little disappointed with my XA Pro 3D shoes, because the sole separated from the shoe after about a year. Hopefully, these will last longer. The construction between the shoe and sole is different.

Very good shoe, hugs the foot nicely and keeps stones out. Great grip and keeps water out Maybe go a size up, I'm an 11 but 12 frits me spot on with no scuffing.

I purchased a new pair of Speedcross' in a nice greyish blue for spring. I've only been able to wear them a couple of times, it's mud season here, but they are very comfortable, great looking and I can't wait to wear them full time.

Amazing grip Very comfy Light Very waterproof Strong laces I did a ton of research before I purchase new hiking shoes. Let me save you time. Buy these! The control I have with the grip on these is insane. Super comfy, the laces took a minute to get used to but now I don't know how I could go back. They're so fast and efficient and strong!! Waterproof as can be. I hiked for hours in ankle deep wet slush without gators and my feet were dry. Incredible. The only time the waterproofing was a problem was when it rained hard and I was wearing shorts. Rain will run down you leg and into the shoe obviously. I love these shoes. I bought a second pair just for when one gets wet.

I just bought my third pair of SpeedCross shoes. They are great shoes if you spend lots of time running or hiking outside of the concrete jungle. The lace system is very convenient and comfortable. The SpeedCross shoes are my go-to shoe for any hike or camping trip. I have even used these shoes to play ultimate frisbee and softball. They are not quite as stable as sport specific spikes but get the job done if you are a casual player who values comfort over performance on the sports field. I have owned both the original and GoreTex versions of the SpeedCross. I think it is worth spending the extra money to keep your feet dry with the GoreTex version. The GoreTex versions seem to have less stretch than the original SpeedCross (IMO), so keep that in mind when sizing them for the proper fit. I have worn these as everyday shoes. They are very comfortable as everyday runners, however they are not designed for heavy usage on concrete-like terrain. The tread will wear quicker than other shoes if worn regularly on hard surfaces. That being said, the tread is so deep that it will still take a long time to wear through them completely. My last pair of SpeedCross 4s took approximately 3 years of daily abuse before being retired. Even though I had walked through all the tread in some areas on the sole, the rest of the shoe was still in excellent condition, so the quality of these shoes is very high.

I have been wearing Solomon hiking or trail running shoes for 20 years because I have a hip replacement. Their combination of support, fit and light weight make it possible for me to have a normal work day, 6,000 steps, without pain or gait instability. The Speedcross 5 GTX is a major step up vs the X Ultra 3, which I had been very happy with for the previous four years.

This is my third pair from the speed cross series. I've been trail running and hiking in this series of shoes for years. I have worn these shoes to hike 90% of the trek to Everest base camp and up Kilimanjaro amongst other hikes and local trail runs. They stand up to everything and I'll always have a pair around.

My husband usually wears an 8 1/2 in other brands. The nine was perfect for him. Really good tread on these shoes. He tears them up!

Expanded hill terrain on my out the door trail run was leaving me with serious slipping issues. Needed an option that would let me continue running in ever changing surfaces, ( Mud, Snow surfaces, fresh, packed both by normal trail traffic and Snow Machines.) Fit the bill very nicely and great fit on my wider foot. One Caveat, careful if driving with. Add Gaiters.

I normally wear size 12 womens shoes and these shoes in womens were too small and narrow. Luckily the mens 11-1/2 fit perfectly and look identical. I've been wearing them out in the forest in Michigan this winter and they are perfect in the light snow/ice/mud we have been enjoying lately. They are super light, supportive, waterproof and surprisingly warm. I also really appreciate the quick tie feature. It saves a lot of time and cinches down tight.

Sixth pair of Speedcross, with and without Goretex, the traction, lack of breakdown, waterproofing of the GTX is exceptional, I have tried other trail shoes in the past, nothing comes close to this line. Whether you are hiking or trail running, this light weight, comfortable shoe is an awesome option.

I have a pair of these and love them. Bought for my husband as a Christmas gift. He absolutely loved them too. This shoe gives you stability when hiking in all conditions. No foot pain after a 3 hour hike. Enough toe space, and the best part is running down hill. It feels like you're wearing running shoes with traction. Highly recommend!!!

I bought these with the intention of using them as one would for general hiking and forest trouncing with my very active dog. I live in the Pacific Northwest, where everything on the ground is wet, squishy, and uneven. I needed something water-protective with traction and mobility, and this perfectly fit the bill. I cannot overstate how smooth the ride is across the temperate rainforest floor. They're heavier and more rugged than a normal running shoe but much lighter than most boots, so I'm able to move quite swiftly while feeling protected. I realize the GORE-TEX may cause them to be a bit warmer in the summer, but it definitely keeps them cozy in the fall, winter, and spring. These are the best hiking/trail running shoes I've ever owned. They make me feel like I can do parkour in the woods.

Got this shoe for trail running but I actually started these things off with traveling all over Europe for 2 months walking EVERYWHERE. They stood up to the challenge and still have plenty of life in them. Use them now for trail running and love the grip. Highly recommend them.
