I have owned two pairs of these shoes. I love how they feel and wear them more for walking and hiking with our dogs, often on hills. My big disappointment is that the tread on soles wear extremely in certain spots. I didn't notice how quickly it happened on the first pair because I didn't look at the sole until I had had them for about a year.I bought a second pair, have had them only a few months and the raised tread in several spots has worn completely down. Super disappointed as these have been my favorite Salomons. I have a different model too, which has a different sole, and has worn far better, but I don't care for them nearly as much.
Hello, I am very happy with my speedcross 4, I can train with a lot of confidence and security. I have the Mission X model that I bought some time ago and I never felt happy or comfortable with them. Now I am waiting to have the money to buy the backpack trail with bottles for water, gaiters for tennis and many things more little by little. Thank you, Salomon, I am very happy
I wear these for dog agility which requires sprinting and sudden turns often on wet grass. These are great and fit well. I am a size 9 and the fit is true.
I love this shoe for the fit and comfort and I’m an every day runner, who runs on roads and trails this is an awesome shoe with plenty of support and cushion HOWEVER the sole wears out extremely fast and then there is no traction for the trails I’ve purchased Speedcross3 and they only lasted 4 months so when the speed cross 4 came out I was hopeful they made improvements but I already need a new pair they only lasted me for the summer if price doesn’t matter to you and you buy shoes every couple of months then I highly recommend these shoes. Otherwise for the same price Merrill makes a great trail shoe that last a lot longer but is a little heavy on the feet. Better for hiking but heavy for running
I have been using speedcross for years. This year we had a considerable amount of snow and I was really impressed with my latest pair. No more cold feet and uber grip in the wet, snowy forests. Its my go to shoe for snow, wet and cold marshy areas.
I have been wearing salomon speedcross 4 gtx shoes for the last 2 years and I am impressed with them. The speecross 4 gtx keep my feet warm and dry on snowy trail and muddy plus they have the best grips for running and walking on slippery trails.
My husband has purchased multiple pairs of Salomon trail runners, and swears by them as the best shoes he's ever owned. He bought these Speedcross 4's for me as a gift, so that we could venture off-road together. When fitting the runners, they're a little tight to get on, but are the right length (5.5 UK) and feel comfortable. However, when I go for a walk, I feel pressure on the outside sole on both feet, which makes them quite uncomfortable to wear. I suspect the fit is too narrow for my foot, and having tried them twice, I'm sad to say I can't wear them again. Sorry.
I bought these months ago and they are the greatest shoes to keep your feet dry while walking or jogging on snow covered trail and muddy trail. I own a few pair and keep one of them for daily use.
Bought these to replace my much loved old speedcross vario shoes which have seen me through many many miles. However, they just don’t fit the same. The lacing system means you can’t adjust where you tighten, it’s all or nothing. Consequently the shoes slip on my heel rubbing blisters as they are too loose, and are too tight over the top of my foot. Really wish I hadn’t worn them out for a run thinking they would be the same as before, as I would be returning them. There is nothing wrong with the shoe, they just aren’t the same fit as before.

These shoes fit me well, they are pretty consistent with their sizing among their product lines. I get the same size every time, they fit right out of the box, no problems on their first 9 mile trail run with lots of elevation gain and loss. The traction is stupendous. I got these mainly for my rainy winter runs. I trust them on the slippery rocks, roots, and mud.
