Best Neutral Mid/Long Distance Shoe on Market
I can't say enough good about the Solomon SC platform, which I have trusted as my primary shoe for 15 plus years. The speed cross six are not exception to the incremental and thoughtful improvements made with each successive model. Unfortunately for me the price is increased significantly with the...

Didn't hold up
I wore these 3 times and the bottoms were falling off of them. They're comfortable but not made well. I wouldn't recommend these if you are looking for durable foot wear.

Great fit and function
I bought these to try as golf shoes and they work wonderfully! Looks like I have a new shoe line for golfing.
Great Shoe! Holds up well in varied terrain...
Had various other Salomon model shoes but this one works best on my Oak/Pine, rocky/muddy/sandy trails in the California Sierra foothills. Sizes pretty true, I went a bit larger to wear thicker socks in colder weather and tighten for thinner socks in hotter weather. This model does not 'baby' your feet and ankles like the thicker soled models so really builds your muscles and tendons to handle mountainous terrain.
Great on multi-surfaces!
My Sense Ride 4's were showing their age, and needed a replacement. I have spent the last 2 winters (In icy cold Edmonton, Alberta) running on a pair of Cross Spikes with the built in studs, AMAZING shoe for winter runners by the way. So I thought I'd give the Speed Cross a try, as they are a non-spiked version of what I have been loving. This logic didn't disappoint as they fit well, feel supportive and provide me with a good balance of cushion on the trails, as well as feeling connected to the ground. Right out of the box I took them on a 12km trail run in the river valley and it held its own on a bit of pavement to get out of the neighbourhood, some compact dirt, roots and loose rocks, and even some frozen (and on the way back home thawing) mud, as well as a bit of snow and ice. Excited to run my first trail Ultra in them in a couple months! *Can't give a durability rate as I've had them less than a month, so will leave it in the middle at 3 stars. Otherwise, amazing shoe.
Very Comfortable
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.
Great Spartan Race Shoe
I've owned my SpeedCross 6 shoes for a year now. I ordered them for a Spartan Trifecta weekend, I did not order the Gortex version because I wanted the shoe to drain water well and they did. The shoe had excellent traction in the mud and snow that weekend and I was glad to have bought them. They clean and dry very easily and the shoe was very durable. The only reason I did not give a 5 star review was because of the tread wear. I can't have more than 30 miles on these shoes and the tread is almost gone. While I wish I could get more then a year out of the tread I fear a harder tread would compromise traction which is one of the best traits of this trail shoe. I've ordered my second set for this year's Spartan race.
My Go To Shoe
I have an A width foot and the Speedcross is one of the few shoes that fit me out of the box. I have been wearing this model since the speedcross 3
quality shoe
excellent off pavement and in snow less ideal on pavement because of the heavy tread but still usable. If i bought again i would go for the goretex tho. but super comfortable and practical
Comfiest shoes
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!!
