Salomon - SPEEDCROSS 6 GORE-TEX

Some will say otherwise but I think you can't go wrong with the Speedcross 6 GTX.

Gore-tex Salomon Speed Cross 6’s

Can’t compare the fit but my first (I’m new here) trail shoes are Speedcross 6 goretex by Salomon, they comfy, keep your feet dry when the mud is deeper than expected. In France we get some good price for them (around 100 quids)

New to running and trail running this year too, this is my experience: I bought my Goretex (SpeedCross6) early this fall on a nice discount, I’m very pleased with them, just finished a 15k race this Saturday in non-stop rain, no wet feet. They are comfy but indeed get warm when outside temp >15°C, so I have a new nonGoretex pair for next season. I’m near Paris FR, -5/10°C winter temperatures, it is very muddy outside but I would say less than 10cm deep mud puddle is a no issue to keep my feet dry.

I have the Speedcross 6 (GTX), and they have been perfect for snow and muddy conditions. I find the drop and midsole too harsh for long-distance running, though. Anything longer than 20km, and my feet start hurting. They also run narrow, so do try them on first. They are light and fast, but somewhat of a waste on less technical terrain.

I have the Salomon Speedcross 6 GTX and it's super comfy and super grippy! I'm flat footed but I didn't need to switch out my insoles since the standard insoles are already comfy 😄 Since it's a trail runner, it's not the most stable for the ankle but it's flexible enough to go through tight spots and hold on to little rocks when scrambling. It's also protective enough na thorns or sharp rocks didn't cut the sides or pierced through the shoe! The only issue I have lang is the GTX version isn't really for PH weather since mas "kulob" siya due the the waterproofing material (tested it during a stormy hike and totoo naman na waterproof talaga 😆) so mas mabilis uminit sa foot area and might be prone to blistering if you're not wearing the right socks (would reco wool socks for moisture wicking)

I wear xt6, xt4 and acs daily around town and for light hikes. I have some speed cross 6 gtx I wear for slightly more rough trails but prefer boots if I can for ankle stability.

I've found the Salomon Speedcross really super. Some folks find them slightly narrow. I have both the standard and Goretex edition and they gave been really super for mud, hills and all a trail can throw at you. My only note is if your route is trails and roads they are quite solid so the road section is not so nice but I suppose it's the flip side of why they are good on trails. I really feel that my foot is in the Speedcross where as my Hoka Tecton X2 are good but in comparison I almost feel like I'm running on them as opposed to feet in them and supported. You're going to get lots of different answers to your question. All the best

I have ▶️ Hoka Tecton X2 - Trail speed ▶️ Salomon Speedcross 6 Goretex - wet days trails ▶️ Salomon Speedcross 6 - Dry days ▶️ Asics Novablast - Track work ▶️ Asics Nimbus 25 - All road runs other than races ▶️ Nike Vaporfly 2 - Race day only (roads) ▶️ Adizero Pro 4 - New race day shoes (roads) I know I have too many but I really value the grip on the trails and how the road shoes work for me.

I have worn Salomon Speedcross GTX for years. My last pair I got in July 2024 and I put on them over 2,200 miles (in a year). I said it was time and now I have a new pair but I still wore my oldies today. Habits are hard to break.

I've been using the last two versions of Speedcross GTX. I love them for hiking and trail running. But these are not made for running on hard surfaces. Waterproofing works great, they do not slip on wet rocks, great traction.

I use the Speedcross GTX for trail running. They’re great but the gore-tex is pointless unless you wear a gator as they just fill with water otherwise. You’d be better wearing a non-gore-tex and a waterproof sock to be honest. Wouldn’t want to climb a mountain with terrain that could turn my ankle though. Boots are always best for that.
