In addition, the stability of the shoe has been improved and the heel part wraps around the foot and ensures a clean ride with a stable stride at all times. The drop is 10 mm and the biomechanical fit puts the weight on the heel. The midsole features EnergyCell+ high rebound compound for excellent energy return. Natural Foot Movement High-performance trail running shoes with a comfortable moulded fit, strong grip and reliable GORE-TEX® waterproof protection. I crossed through the bottom of the trail in ankle deep water and beds of mud coming up and out of the that part of the trail unscathed. Great shoes for running away from chasing dogs! The Speedcross 5 are a solid mix of protective and sensitive underfoot, with the forefoot offering great trail feel and the heel giving a lot of foam cushioning.

The Speedcross 5 needed no introduction to my feet. I laced them up and hit the trail. We had non-stop rain for days so I was a little hesitant to take in some trail miles with a new pair of shoes. It is suitable for soft and muddy terrain, as well as for paths with uneven surfaces. They offer the perfect balance between durability and adhesion.

Our Policies

Two of the strengths of the Salomon Speedcross 5 are its grip and stability. The sole is equipped with longer, sharper and deeper lugs, with an updated geometry that improves the grip of the impulse and optimizes the braking, regardless of the state of the ground. This running shoe moves more naturally than its predecessor, perfectly imitating the movements of the foot for a more efficient and comfortable step. This has been achieved through the renovation of its blade, which is completely welded without seams, and the dissociated SensiFit straps.
