Customer Reviews Salomon Speedcross 6

I'm a longtime Speedcross fan, they have been "my shoe" for years now and I go through 2-3 pair a year (they are not very durable, but worth it for the grip). The Speedcross 5 were my favourite! However, the 6's have a completely different and way less comfortable fit. The heel doesn't lock as well and the tongue digs into the top of my foot, incredibly uncomfortable. It seems they reduced the depth of the upper which causes the pinching at the tongue and heel not being as well supported. I have talked to others who have the exact same complaints. Salomon, bring back the fit of the legendary 5's!

I have been a big fan of the Speedcross 5 so I thought I would be for the Speedcross 6 too. Afraid not. The fit is completely different. I loved the look, feel and support the 5. Could put them on brand new and go for a hike. I used them for hiking and also as my every day sneakers. I lived in them! The 6 is too wide with too much "fabric" on top that all scrunches up. Not the same fit or support. Also the color options are way less appealing to me. I had to return them. Not sure what I will use instead. Please bring back the 5!

I bought these a month ago for a trail running and hiking trip. I was not impressed with the materials and how they held up on the trails. These shoes are not water resistant at all and my feet got soaked on a day that it rained and the shoes took a pretty long time to dry out. The outer lining started to pull away from the shoes after a few wears. I have had 3 pairs of Salomon trail running shoes before and loved them all which is why I was so disappointed about these. Sad to say I can't recommend.

The sizing is large , the fit is different from my other 5 pairs of speedcross shoes. I hope to find a replacement. It's the only workout shoe brand that i buy.

I have been wearing this shoe for more than 15 years, through many minor changes to the design. The latest version, #6, is a big miss for me. The upper fabric is now stiff & less breathable. The tongue of the shoe is bulky & too long, which creates weird seems & pressure points on the top of the foot. I miss the older versions & now need to find a new favorite shoe.

I've been wearing the Speedcross for years. I have narrow feet and have always loved the fit. The Speedcross 6 runs much wider than the previous versions, I'm very disappointed! No matter how tight I cinch the laces, the toe box is too wide & my foot slides. Hope the next version will be a return to the old fit.

I was so happy to see Speedcross Womens wide in a color other than navy blue (not a popular color in the Rockies). The Speedcross used to be the best trail shoe out there, but it's continuing its decline from version 3. As usual, after only 3 months of wear, the treads are worn down to nothing in certain areas making the shoe no longer stable. The upper material is very thin so that it wrinkles when I snug the shoe up. Worse though is that I used to be able to wear my Speedcross in the winter but these are much to cold due to the thin upper. Support is minimal. I'm so sorry I have to find another brand that's more stable and rugged for actual trail running.

Initially bought these for softball as an alternative to cleats and they far exceeded my expectations. They are so comfortable, grippy on grass and the infield and light. Also use them for running and hiking also, they're fantastic.

Super grip, feel light on the feet and snappy on the trail. These shoes are so comfortable and have held up well. I am SO SAD Salomon stopped making Women's size 12. Why??

I used to be in love with this model until I got my order delivered and oh my goodness! The writing on top made it awful, ugly and ughhhhh So disappointed! If you want to be creative and add something make sure the pictures showing in site match the real one! With some RED details ! Now i have to return my order because you didnt mention about writing on shoes in any picture!!!!!!

I've been using Salomon Speedcross since its 2nd version - more than a decade. We are on the 6th now. What a downgrade on Salomon's part! Not just in the shoe fabric. The fit is HORRIBLE; wide, wide, wide! Too wide! The 6th edition, supposedly made for normal feet, is way too wide - my feet float in these shoes uncomfortably, which is a dangerous fit for running. I tightened the laces to adjust the fit - the fabric crinkles on top of the shoe (see pic), I get blisters. I compared these with Speedcross 3, which I still have. Speedcross 3 fit so well. Speedcross 6 - wide, not suitable for normal feet. What a terrible downgrade on Salomon's part. I used to love these shoes. (It makes me wonder how wide are their wide shoes nowadays). I went through many of these Speedcross shoes (easily 4 pairs/year) - it didn't bother me they wore off fast; I care about my feet (proper fit and comfort). After using Salomon's Speedcross for more than a decade now, I started checking other brands/makers - these are no longer for my feet. Too wide.

I have loved the speed cross series trail running shoe over the years. I purchase 1-2 pairs each year. Unfortunately, this year's version is drastically different. It is way way less padded and has a wider toe box. The lacing system and the generous padding made this an extremely comfortable shoe but no more. I have returned it and am now ordering up as many 5 versions as I can to last me a few more years. WHY CHANGE THE PADDING SO DRAMATICALLY? I hope you consider going back to the high quality version.

Very disappointed! I have speedcross 3 and love them. Size 8.5. After having two kids my foot size increased by 1/2 size. I got a speedcross 5 size 9 and love them! I immediately ordered another pair same size and they were huge. I returned them. Recently I decided to try again. I got speedcross 6 size 8.5 and 9. Size 8.5 are too narrow and 9 are too long. Solution should be 8.5 wide. However, I got 8.5 wide and they are huge! They fit like the big 9s or a 9.5. I removed the tags when I got them as why shouldn't they fit?! But they don't. I haven't worn them and can't wear them. Would love to be able to return them and maybe try 8 wide? I just don't get it.
