Shoebox has ample room allowing my previously broken foot comfort while keeping a very thin appearance. I can hike again with these shoes! Theyre great!

I've owned 20+ pairs of Speedcross. I like to get a new pair every 150 miles or so. I'm very disappointed they don't have any 14wide in any color at the moment. When they do have it they only have a few colors.

Great shoes but I wish I would've gone down half a size as they do run a little big. Usually a size 9.5 but they definitely run big. Going to have to go with a 9 next time. They're however great to run in and hold up really well. As I said before go down half a size from what you usually wear for a good fit and a full size if you like more of a snug fit.

Havent used these shoes for their intended purpose (trail running, hiking etc) but I bought them for my foot pain. They are extremely comfortable straight out of the box! Most salomon run narrow so Im glad they are starting to make wider shoes, just wish the wider were available in more colors.

Still an amazing shoe. I am on my fifth pair. So glad the fit did not change on this version. My only complaint would be the lacing system. The speed lace is convenient, but often the slider comes loose. This has been a problem on all versions. An improvement would be to replace the plastic slider with something more robust or use laces. :)

Well, I've done two local orienteering meets and here are my updated observations: 1. Shoe still feels a little snug. Doesn't appear to be an EE, more like a E.5! Have to wear a thinner sock, whereby I lose some cushioning. 2. Based on stream crossings, it appears to be somewhat water "repellent." 3. Outsole (lugs) grip well on soft soil and even rocky surfaces. 4. Bottom line: A good orienteering and off-trail shoe - not perfect!

The styling with enlarged white printed white Salomon label is a little overwhelming The shoe is simply too wide for someone who has always worn a medium fit in speed cross 5 therefore no longer comfortable or supportive

Review for Zappos VIP Points(What's this?)
Great fit.....very comfortable. However, the tread wears down far too quickly for a shoe of this price. I was amazed at how every other component is bullet-proof. I'm not running or hiking....I'm a courier for one of the 'big two'. Nonetheless, I've owned 4 pair....then realized it's just not worth it any longer.

These are wonderful shoes! My only issue is they only last about a year. I wear on pavement, casually, and the sole wearing isn't the best. These are more designed for off road given the tread. For the price, the rubber should be more long lasting. Having said this, I'd still buy another pair.

I've had two pairs now, they are seriously comfortable shoes. However the sole on the first pair made it to a year before they were gone and my second pair have got to 8 months and the soles are almost gone through. They are superb for comfort but the sole wearing through as quick is not what a pair of shoes at this price should do. Having said that, im still looking at my third pair!!

For starters the sole is way more comfortable than previous generations. That I can say. The stability isn't there like other generations though. There is way too much mush and side to side in the upper. And lastly the colors absolutely do not look like they do online. Just buy black and save yourself the headache.

The Shoe fits great and looks great. My reason for a Three star rating is for the lack of Breathability. An absolute nightmare. I wore these twice for about 8 hours at a time just walking around and standing at work and my feet started sweating almost immediately. I'd like Salomon to make the Same Silhouette and Sole Tech but use breathable mesh. Simply put if you live in a hot climate these aren't the shoe for you

I love Salomon shoes and worn them for years. I am very excited about the new wide widths. Not sure why cold weather shoes (GTX) don't come in Wide though? In fact, we wear thinker socks in winter and so need even more space in winter so the GTX shoes should be the first that come in Wide? Same for the spiked shoes ! Wide GTX shoes please ! Someday; Wide, GTX spiked shoes ! Cheers John

I'll start by saying these are a fantastic shoe. Comfortable, lightweight and super grippy. I love these even more than the speedcross 4's I've ran for many years prior. However. I've now been through 2 pairs of these in the last 12 months. Both sets have lost the front part of the sole. They are not as durable as I'd of expected from a trail running shoe. I feel previous speedcrosses have lasted longer. I've also found the toe area to loosen off over time leaving a little extra room. However do not let this put you off, overall a fantastic package for your feet

Bought these as an alternative to the new model XA Pro 3D, which I bought to try but returned as I felt it was inferior to the much loved shoe that it replaced. The Speedcross suffers from the same problem as the new XA Pro: the shoe feels slightly longer and narrower than previous models, judging from the fit on my feet. I had to go up to a 10 to get enough room side to side in the toebox, but the shoes are actually a bit too long then and I need to lace them very tightly to avoid my forefoot slopping. I've covered nearly 400km in them to date and they are OK, but that's about as far as I would go. I wouldn't buy them again.

Like the look. Good grip. Appears to be of good quality. Order a wide version as their standard size is too narrow. Unfortunately this didn’t become clear until after I walked in it for a while and cannot return shoes now.

I purchased these shoes based on the look and I have 3 other pair of Salmon hiking shoes, but these are not as comfortable as my other ones and I think it is because of the different sole. This sole seems to be harder and less comfortable in my opinion. I wanted to keep them, but they don't feel comfortable on my feet, which is the most important part of buying shoes to me. They do look cool though!

Another reviewer here mentioned the design aesthetics. One aspect of this is that the brand name Salomon is just too prominently displayed on the shoes--like a billboard for the brand on your shoes compared to Speedcross 5 or Speedcross 4. Function is great of course as I would expect since I've owned maybe 40+ Speedcross shoes (4's and 5's) over the years and love them--and right now I have about 10 in my closet--but I am disappointed in the look of the Speedcross 6 and will stock up on the Speedcross 5 as long as they are available. I hope the next version reverts back to a more subtle look as to branding. Also, something to keep in mind is that the sizing seems to me to have gotten progressively bigger from Speedcross 4 to Speedcross 5 and even more so now for Speedcross 6--that of course can be fixed just by going down a size, which I have done from 9.5 to 9.

Love almost everything about these. Light, flexible, protective, awesome grip. However, I'm not sure how long the grip will be awesome, given the rate at which the lugs are wearing down. The center heel lug has started to come apart after maybe 30 miles, and the others don't look too far behind. Maybe this is a defective pair, bud I'm guessing they went with a softer compound for the outsole. Will have to see how this pair plays out, and if necessary, I'll have to begrudgingly find a replacement shoe.

I am a big fan of the Speedcross 5, so I tried the Speedcross 6 with mixed results. It is a very sturdy shoe with good overall foot protection, comfort, traction, and it fits well. However, I dont like the aesthetic, it's not as attractive as the 5. The material is a bit thin and gets dirty very quickly. It also is a bit heavy and clunky. I think I'll stick to the 5 from now on.

Felt like I had cleats on and felt like I was walking like I had roller skates on. Tread is very deep. Not suitable for what I needed. Overall a very well constructed shoe, but somewhat cumbersome with such deep lugs. Not very comfortable for heel and toe pad support.

I've owned a few pair over the years. They don't aggravate my knee issues.....however, the soles wear out incredibly quickly, 3...4 weeks. Then they are slick on surfaces and pose a problem.
