Salomon Speedcross

The Salomon Speedcross trail running shoe

The Speedcross has been Salomon's grip benchmark for years, the trail shoe most runners reach for when the ground turns soft and wet. It pairs an aggressive, deep-lug outsole with a secure, foot-hugging upper, built to bite into mud and hold the foot steady through fast, technical ground. The current Speedcross 6 comes in standard and GORE-TEX versions, in men's and women's fits.

Deep chevron lugs bite into soft ground

The Speedcross outsole carries deep, aggressive chevron lugs spaced to dig into soft, muddy ground. They grip on the climb and shed mud as you go, so traction holds rather than clogging up. On the wet, churned trails common across Irish hills and forests, that bite is what keeps you moving with confidence.

A SensiFit upper locks the foot in

A secure SensiFit upper wraps the midfoot, cradling the foot from the midsole to the lacing for a snug, locked-in hold. That security stops the foot sliding on side slopes and fast corners, where a loose shoe loses grip. Combined with a quick, secure lace, it gives the connected feel that makes technical descents easier to trust.

A protective build for rough trails

The Speedcross is built to take a beating on rough ground. A stable platform and protective upper shield the foot from rocks, roots and debris, while the outsole wraps slightly at the toe for extra cover. It adds up to a shoe that feels planted and protected when the trail gets rocky and unpredictable.

Men's and women's fits across the line

The Speedcross 6 comes in both men's and women's fits, each shaped to the foot rather than scaled from a single last. That makes it easier to find a secure, comfortable match whatever your foot shape. It is the current generation of a shoe Salomon has refined over many years on the trail.
