Review: The King of Trail Running Shoes. - I do a lot of trail running and hiking, and after going through several pairs of shoes, I've finally found the Salomon Speedcross series to be the best. Over the last couple of years I've gone through several pairs and about 2000 miles and they've remained my preferred shoe. First and foremost, sizing is on point but these fit narrow compared to a lot of shoes, even the wide version doesn't truly feel "wide." If you have a large/wide foot, you may want to try a pair on before you buy. However, with that said, that narrow fit usually translates to stability due to how snug around your feet they fit. Additionally, the tread on the shoes translates to the best grip I've encountered on a trail shoe which leads to a lot of confidence on the trails and hills whether it be rocky, smooth, slippery, or wet. The insoles are comfortable but in wetter conditions they can potentially curl up when descending steep hills. Additionally, I deal with a lot of foot pain, so for that they tend to run a little thin. I typically just replace the included soles with thicker, thermomoldable ones, which in my case, have consistently been the Viktos brand "Ruck Recovery" insoles but there are plenty of other options out there as well. Speaking of the tread, it's pretty durable. Through mostly dry, hard packed, southern California terrain, I'll average about 400-600 miles (or usually 4-6 months) per pair. With that said, at around 400 miles the tread around the ball of foot is usually worn down enough to consider replacing them just for the sake of potential slipping down less than stable (hard-packed with grainy pebbles/rocks and loose dirt) terrain. Also worth noting, it's not recommended to use these on pavement or asphalt, the lifespan of the tread will go down significantly if you do. So keep that in mind if you're using these in mixed terrain environments that may include paved roads. All that aside, I've yet to find a better all-around trail shoe.
Review: Great shoes, minor issues, but being resolved - EDIT/UPDATE: I've gone on about 5 hikes now with my replacement shoes, and I can confirm that these seem to be holding up great. The separation on the other pair was hopefully an anomaly and hopefully no one else experiences this. That being said, I love everything about the shoes, so raising my rating up to a 5! Highly recommend! I wanted to hold off to rate my shoes until I've used them a few times hiking. I want to note that i'm more of a day hiker, and stick to 1-3 hour hikes total (sometimes longer). I am NOT a runner. I've taken these bad boys out 3 times now, and I absolutely LOVE them! Very comfortable, they fit perfectly (i'm a wide foot, and got my size in a wide and they fit true), and when i'm on the trail they have incredible grip to go up and down steep inclines. The ONLY letdown for me was part of the shoe is separating from itself near the toe of the top right shoe (see pictures). This seems to be simple glue there, but with only 3 times of use I felt that just wasn't acceptable for the price you pay for these. The good news is, I reported it to desertcart and they are sending me out a new pair. I will try to do a follow up with you all once I test those out for a bit. I'm hoping it's just an anomaly. If the nest pair doesn't do that, I will update to a 5 star for sure. I do still highly recommend these shoes, and I also loved them so much i got another pair for my stepson! If you are in the market for some hiking / running shoes for the trail, these are a no-brainier!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Built for Brutality – Crushed a Spartan Ultra in These
*by O***M on June 11, 2025*

wore the Salomon Speedcross 5s during a Spartan Ultra, and they absolutely delivered. From steep, muddy climbs to rocky descents and everything in between — these shoes gripped like a mountain lion. No slips, no rolled ankles, no regrets. The aggressive lugs cut through mud and loose dirt like nothing else I’ve worn, and the Quicklace system stayed locked in the entire race — even through water obstacles and thick mud. Drainage was solid, and they never felt waterlogged or heavy. My feet stayed secure, supported, and blister-free for over 30 miles of punishment. Comfort-wise, they’ve got the right blend of cushion and structure. Enough responsiveness for running and just enough give to not destroy your feet by mile 20. They fit true to size and molded perfectly to my feet by race day. If you’re tackling obstacle course races, trail ultras, or just want a rugged, reliable shoe that’s built for chaos — the Speedcross 5 is worth every penny.
