Can confirm. The Salomon Speedcross shoes are amazing for muddy, wet terrain (I've been using the 2 Pro and 4 since 2019).
Salomon Speedcross has excellent grip on wet rocks and mud. Comes in both GTX and non-GTX version, but I’ve only tried the latter since it dries quickly anyway and I wouldn’t do waterproof shoes in above freezing weather. I hiked the TMB (with a heavy-ish backpack) and ran the Alta Via 1 (with just a hydration vest) in these shoes (different pairs since this was in different years) and found them to be perfect for both. Had a decent amount of rain and lots of mud on both, and the shoes kept me stable and moving quickly. I haven’t sized up but as I move toward running (hopefully) 100k races, I might have to since I assume my feet will swell after the 50k or so mark. I’ve completely switched to trail runners for both hiking and backpacking and find the only drawback is that I have to buy shoes more often. But if you can afford that, the comfort is worth it!
Seconded. Great shoe for hiking and trail running. Never tried the Goretex version but Salomon does make them.
I’ve found the grip on Salomon Speedcross to be excellent. I also prefer the non-GTX version since it dries much more quickly.
I like the Speedcross, it’s what I’ve worn for every ultra I’ve run. Great in mud/dirt but also fine in mountainous rocky terrain.
Love Salomon Speedcross trail runners for muddy/slippery terrain. I’ve never lost my footing and can sprint downhill when running super muddy, technical trails! Or just enjoy the hike if I’m not racing 🙂 The lugs are aggressive but that’s what makes them so great on the mud.
3 in rotation. Brooks Caldera for most of my trail runs; a pair of Timp 4’s hybrid road/trail (bumped down from 1st string once the tread started to wear) and Solomon Speed Cross for extra traction when it’s wet (rare, since I’m running in the Sierra foothills mostly).
Terepfutó cipőt használok túrázáshoz: Salomon Speedcross Viszont ez inkább erdőben jó, sziklás terepen nem a legjobb. Tényleg egy sportboltba kellene bemenned es megnézni neked mi a jó. Spuri is jó bolt, vagy Óbudán a Sarkcsillag sport bolt. Ez kifejezetten terepfutós bolt.
Salomon speed cross. Loads of grip and water proof.
I loved the Salomon Speed cross as I could run down on wet grass and they were still gripping, but their durability is very short. Amd simce they are very tight I started looking for other shoes and now I use the Altra Lone peak. Less grip I'd say, but they fit perfecrly as they follow the natural foot shape, and they last mucj longer. Cushion is good and they're drop zero. Not going back
