Love These Shoes!

I've had several pairs of the Speedcross 6 and 6 Gore-Tex and they're by far my favorite running & hiking shoe. They have excellent support and fit my feet perfectly. My only complaint is that the soles do wear out relatively quickly on pavement.

Updated Trendy Look

I had my Speedcross 4 GTX for years and had decided to upgrade it to the latest version. The only difference btw them is the heal seems higher and the overall profile of the shoes are higher.

Best 10 Mile Hiking Shoes On The Planet

Comfotable up to ten miles. Great in mud and snow. Surprisingly good for sandstone scrambling. Goretex keeps feet dry longer than most.

No Cusioning

No cushioning at all. Good fit and grip, however the lack of cushioning makes them impossible to run in. Had to buy an additional pair of Aeroglide4 gravels which are a great show.

Not Waterproof

Would be a good shoe if it were waterproof. First purchased the Alphacross 5, had a warranty claim because they weren't waterproof (the waterproof membrane gets saturated and leaks water), then purchased these afterward. Unfortunately, these continue to leak. I'm not trying to run through torrential downpours or jog through streams either. Walking in dewy grass in the morning results in the entire upper becoming saturated and soaking my socks.

Sensitive Feet

I got speedcross 6 because I couldn't get speedcross 4. The overall build is similar but very slightly tighter around the ball of the feet. Sadly with arthritis this matters. Support great, length great, but I now need shoe widener to allow me to wear them . For years I've relied on salomon shoes. Bring back speedcross 4 please

Solid Shoe

I have gone through well over ten pairs of the speed cross 6 shoes (both gore-tex and regular) I think the non-gore-tex ones are a better value and better shoe, simply because they cost less, breath better, and dry faster. That said, if you are using these for the right conditions (light/well packed snow, heavy dew /wet but not deep mud trails) they stay much dryer than the regular ones. The problem is, all shoes have a very big hole in them where your foot goes in, so anything with deep mud/puddles or stream crossings renders the gore-tex useless, and then this shoe will dry noticeably slower than the regular one. I always have at least a pair of each type, so I choose based on what I plan to do that day. In terms of fit, the gore-tex vaTriant seems to fit slightly differently around the heel, as I notice they consistently have different hotspots versus the regular ones. The overall fit is the same though. The grip is excellent on these shoes, it used to be better than anything on the market, but it still is among the top. I find they generally give me 150-200 miles of rough trail running/hiking before the tread wears off. I wish they lasted longer, but they are great during that time. If you are lighter, and less aggressive, they definitely last longer. The narrow front coupled with the low cushion there is great for precise footwork, and minimizing side-to-side torque on your ankles. The heel has more cushion which is great for soaking up harder impacts. The low cushion up front also helps with feeling what you are running on, but still offers enough protection from pointy rocks. There are lighter shoes out there, but these are really comfortable for distances over 20 miles. Longest I have personally hiked/ran in them was 40 miles with 16,000 feet of elevation gain, and they were totally fine. I wear a full size down from my regular shoe size (normally 10.5, I wear 9.5) This is because I do not want my foot sliding in the shoe at all while running downhill, and I find that the shoes stretch slightly over their lifetime.

Amazing Fit, Feels Great

I'm been using this shoe for hiking, trail running, and even coaching youth baseball! It's by far the most comfortable shoe that I'm owned, my feet feel great in this shoe. I'm buying another more hard core hiking shoe for longer adventures, all do to how this shoe fits my feet.

Runs Small

Well built and waterproof. They fit a little too snug for my normal size. I’m not sure if I’d need a wide or a half size bigger.

My Favorite Hiking Shoe

I love my Speedcross 6 GTX’s. This is my second pair and I love that they are comfortable right out of the box. I’ve been training on a lot of loose rock and slippery trails and these shoes are up to the test. Their grip is unmatched and they glide over the terrain with ease. Highly recommend these trail runners for hiking and backpacking and for running over all types of trail surfaces.

Much Tighter Than The Speedcross 6

I have worn these three times, thinking i just need to break them in. I love my original shoe’s, but this GTX model is way too tight. I cannot wear them for more than 30 minutes without excruciating pain from the toe box area of the shoes. I thought I was upgrading, but I should have just got the original 6s again. I have four other Salomon shoes, and they have all been great, However, with these GTXs I am unable to deal with the pain when wearing them.

I Love These Shoes!

Great shoes even on the most demanding of hikes. Amazingly comfortable, supportive, and grippy. So lightweight you hardly know they are there. The fact that they are waterproof too only makes them better. I went a half size up and they fit great with my hiking socks on. Worth every penny if you value your hiking shoes.
