SPEEDCROSS 6 GORE-TEX

I wear Salomon trail running shoes as my man everyday pair . https://a.co/d/0gyodgYk

Salomon Speedcross GTX have never failed me, I thought the 6 series damaged a bit easily, but if you go direct with Salomon you have a 2 year warranty to fall back on

Trail running shoes with gore tex. Examples: Salomon speedcross 6 gtx or Nike Pegasus trail gore tex. I use/used both and have great traction in snow, mud and icy conditions.

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.

Salomon Speedcross 6 GTX. I wear these year round. Get the GTX version - breathable Gore-Tex lining provides reliable waterproofing.

I guess you have to try them on. I also have wide feet. For some reason, mine fit perfectly. When it gets icy, I put cleats on over them for a little bit more traction. On hiking buddy got them too. Neither of us have twisted an ankle. Maybe we are lucky. The only time she has fallen was when she tripped on a branch running away from a bear!

I think once the type of shoe has been established it comes really down to preferences. Different models and manufacturers fit different to different people so the most important is finding something that feels comfortable. Something to consider is the sole of the shoe. Personally I like something that has really bites into the ground, but courses around me all tend to have turf teepads and quite soft ground for the most part, but I could see them being bit uncomfortable on harder and more grippier surfaces. But besides the basic point of trail running shoes there are no right or wrong answers, it is all about comfort, preferences and price point. Edit: For reference: I’ve been liking Salomon for myself, currently have Sense Ride 5 that I wear in the dry summer time and Speed Cross GTX 6 for wet/colder conditions and to some slippier courses in general.

I’ve used Salomon trail runners for nearly 20 years as my go-to every day shoe at home and while traveling. Currently I have the Speedcross 6 in black and they look great even off the trail. I have the Gore-tex option as I generally avoid traveling in warm climates and they provide better protection in light snow/slush. For warm climates, the regular non-goretex breath much better. For actual hiking and trail running, I prefer shoes from La Sportiva. I’ve found their tread to be better when scrambling on rocks and off trail and the rubber doesn’t seem to wear down as quickly. Most of their models tend to be more colorful so I don’t use them as much for casual wear. I’ve had a couple of pairs of On running shoes as well. They’ve been the cool trendy brand for the last few years but I wasn’t impressed with their quality of materials. Both pairs I owned the fabric on the top of the shoe near the last eyelet started fraying and tearing after only a few months of wear.

Salomon Speedcross is superb. Got the GTX 6 which has GORE-TEX and is basically an all round dad shoe for smashing about in mud, running, hiking etc. The grip is really very exaggerated so not one for road running, but in mud and wet grass they’re amazing.
