Speedcross Series

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).

You’re gonna just have to try some and find those that *you* like that perform and last the way *you* want. I like Terrex Swift waterproof grip (Continental sole). Great support. Have had three pair. Adidas replaced one for free because the sole separated. But, in general, they didn’t last very long. I like Salomon Speedcross 5. Not great for wide feet though. Lasted longer than Terrex and lighter. If you toe drag, you’ll easily wear a hole. I may buy another pair if hit a sale. Nike Pegasus Gore-Tex Trail. Super light, great waterproof. Lasted well, especially for the super light feel. Not as much lateral support as some others. Toe tread eventually separated. Extended life via shoe-goo. Would definitely buy on sale.

Salomon Speedcross 5 or 6 are trail running, waterproof shoes that work nicely for DG. The fit tends to be somewhat slim, so best to try them on for proper sizing, which could be a number different than your norm.

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

Salomon speed cross. Loads of grip and water proof.

The downside of trail runners to me (Solomans) was I would sometimes get foot bruises on sharp rocky ground. I switched to hiking shoes (Merrell's) and I feel it's a better compromise between trail runners and boots. Pretty light and more comfortable.

My Solomans had a rock plate (thank you for pointing out my omission), but I feel a big difference with my Murrell Moab's. To each there own, I know trail runners are the favorite, the Moab works better for me (I have dainty feet, I guess).

I've had a pair of solomon speedcross 3 for about 10 years that I've been in love with. With a good pair of socks I think they're pretty good for the winter.

I've owned a few Solomon shoes. The speedcross are great trailrunners but I've regretted every other pair of Solomon's I've bought. Those look like they'd be suitable for walking around a park in the city. I wouldn't stray far from the pavement in them.
