This is a lightweight beast of a shoe. That’s meant for the mud. The gnarly lug pattern just begs to chew up that softish trails around the upper of the speed cross is synthetic. There is no leather on the shoe. It’s got a running shoe profile, the uppers welded, so there’s no stitching. There are no seams. This gives you better durability and an overall better fit. This is in-line with Salomon’s sensi fit construction, which is all about cradling the foot.

To give you an almost customized fit. The mesh is anti debris, so it will keep out all that nasty stuff that would otherwise make you very uncomfortable and also cause your shoes to break down faster. The upper has a quick lace system for easy on and off and there’s a nice little lace pocket so that cord doesn’t get caught up on the trails. The midsole is Salomon’s energy cell plus midsole. This is a unique compressed, foam midsole that balances weight and rebound as well as shock absorption.

It’s a nimble system that feels great under the foot to add cushion Salomon gives you a molded evie a ortho light sock liner on the inside of the shoe the outside of the shoe. The outsole has these gnarly Chevron lugs, this contig rip taa compound is meant for a serious bite. These shoes take aim at nothing but those loose soft surfaces.

This is the Salomon speed cross, for it features a synthetic upper with anti debris mesh, so basic protects your foot and stops any kind of little rocks, I’m bones or any mud. Getting into your shoe. The upper also uses cents a bit technology. This wraps around your foot for a really secure fit. The midsole is made from lightweight EBA, so it keeps the weight of the shoe down and offers a lot of cushioning and impact absorption underfoot.

The outside was made from contra grip, which is a really sticky rubber, and it also has really aggressive lugs. This gives you lots of grip when you’re moving at pace on very terrain. They also come with a quick lacing system, as you can see for easy on Easy Off. The drop of these shoes is ten millimeters. This is the difference between the height the hill in the toe.

It’s quite aggressive and therefore has quite a lot of cushioning under the heel. These shoes have a lace pocket. So once you put your shoe on, you can just tuck the laces in there like so and just keeps them out of the way for when you’re running they also have a molded ortholite footbed. This gives an extra layer of cushioning underfoot for extra comfort.

Additionally, they have lightweight protection around the toe and the heel. So you can see here and just there. This makes the shoe more durable and just protects your foot as well. These shoes are great for technical trail, running and off-road running, and those are looking quite nice for quite an aggressive shoe they’ve got massive lugs, so they’ll definitely make give you loads of grip on kind of unstable kind of muddy or rocky terrain, they’re, not great for kind of everyday use or general Road running the lugs on these shoes aren’t designed for use on tarmac, so they will wear down very quickly and they’re, not so they’re not really suitable for that kind of use other than that, if you’re after a technical trail running shoe, that will be great for pretty much anything.

This is the Salomon speed cross before.

For a vlog I see so many vlogs out there that look super polished and I’m literally on my bedroom floor, but we’ll see how it goes so. I start something’s a bit different I wanted to start a kind of vlog thing, but where I get to chat kind of with the camera, were you guys really about about running so trail running? In particular, a mountain trail running a bit about me.

I am a runner among many other things and I really like trail running and mountain trails, I’m an ambassador for the brand Salomon for running and I love it and for a lot of people. That is the most bonkers thing is lemon will find running crazy, boring or really hard. But some of us that’s crazy. Few really really flippin love it and I. Guess I! Just wanted it a space to chat about that really about how it kind of is accessible to everyone, I think and kind of what I go through what things I do.

I run a lot I do a bit of training and I, try and get ready for some events, occasionally pike, mountain races and it’s really a huge part of my lifestyle, so I guess I just wanted to share it with you, like you’re, my friend and just kind of explain. What is what it’s about ready for me and and maybe hopefully, you’ll take something from it too, even if it’s just that, it’s been impossible for you.

So how would I start this? Well, I thought I talked about just really. Basically a piece of kit that I really like I do love these shoes. They are like this sexy pair. They they are so muddy. These are the Salomon speed cross, four and so I do I work for Salomon and obviously gonna talk about their kit because I use it, but I also wouldn’t use it unless I loved it.

So there are some things that I like more than others, but this is a good chance to explain the kind of kit that I use in these vlogs and yeah. Why not start with speed cross flow? Your trail shoes things you need to put on your feet to run up mountains that something for me they’ve been a real, solid, shoe pretty much from the beginning I. These were the speaker threes for the version before them.

When my first sort of much-loved shoe the real kind of these are my real trail. Shoes and I kind of haven’t ventured too far for them. I’ve tried other shoes, but these I kind of always come back to you now. For me, the reason is, and things that you should look out for is get a good grip, especially for stuff. Like technical mountain trails, anything off-road is going to be a bit more unpredictable and they’re more unpredictable.

You get the better grip you need, so these have contra grip, which is Salman grip. It’s super, sticky, really good friction on rocks and just gives that extra support be sure, you’re going downhill understands, and so for that that is just for me. They were kind of the reason why get through these shoes and keep wanting more there’s a few other nice little features there, which I really like Palamon shoes have quick lay systems.

So if we’ve had problems of laces at school, these are really good. They just simply come buckle like so, and then once you tie it, it just fits really neatly in this little compartment at the front. This is really good for quick adjustments on the trail and they’re really comfy I find that the cushioning is really good around the sides of the shoe. Just it’s a really support and cushion the foot.

So for me it’s got that extra kind of grip. It’s got the quick lacing it’s well cushioned and also I have quite flat feet a bit like an elephant, I guess and a bit of arch support. So these are quite a high heel drop, which is this part here the difference between the back of the heel and the the front of the foot. This has got quite a high heel drop and that’s just I find quite supportive on my flatter feet.

Cuz I said they’re not for everyone, but as someone who use these from pretty much the beginning of racing and longer trails, I really recommend them as a great start out shoe, so you get on with them, see how you like them, but in terms of, if you want to step up that grip, these are a really good option and I guess. For me, shoes are probably one of the most important bits, if not the most important kit, because your shoes are what are going to protect your feet.

Fundamentally, your feet, you’re doing a lot of work. Most of the work I’ll give you the rest of kind of in your head got cobwebs of that in a different blog. These yeah really recommend and yeah they’re a good shoe. This is the first kind of vlog of this dial. It’s a little bit roar again and but hopefully it’s a chance just for you to kind of see a bit at the inside of running and if you’ve got any questions or anything do please get in touch.

Let me know if I can cover anything. Was there anything interesting, you’d like to know I have a great to take you out on some runs, maybe at some point and yeah we’ll see how we go.

America and today we have another pair of Salomon boots shoes. Let’s find out. This is speed, cross four and they are pretty popular, so I decided to give them for our ultimate survival boots. Review. I, know. I know there are not boots, but nevertheless would they be good for the ultimate survival situations, let’s find out so very quickly. You know if you are looking to buy this speed trail running shoes.

If that’s all you’re interested in I personally might test everything I’ve done. If you don’t want to watch the whole review, I absolutely love them, they work perfectly for what they are designed now, if you are interested to find out whether they’re good, for you know the ultimate survival, keep watching. So what are we doing this review with this ultimate survival? So we judge the. You know: shoes boots by a few different criterias criteria, number one comfort.

Now, whenever it counts to the comfort levels, Solomons, they always have. You know they always hit the mark perfectly. One of the reasons is because they do have that special inner sole that is called ortho light and the ortho light is basically that you know the feeling that it gives you sort of the G le, but at the same time, firm feeling it does take a lot of impact. Whenever you are running it does feel really good.

You know it’s it’s it’s. It makes it very comfortable to wear the shoes for extended periods of time and the tests that I’ve personally done in order to test them was three mile run and then a five-mile walk right after pretty much without stopping, maybe just to drink some water and the overall wear time of all of this was about eight hours. Eight hours wearing this shoes non-stop without taking them off, and let me tell you they are you know just like a lot of other Solomon’s shoes and boots that I have reviewed.

They are absolutely amazing whenever it comes to the comfort level. Now it’s not just a wall slide. However, that contributes to the comfort another thing: it is the bottom sole. It is so flexible and, as you can see, I can you know it really does not take any effort in order to you know, bend it and that that’s really what contributes to that running process. Whenever you run it, you do have to run on your.

You know on your toes and not get a lot of impact on your heel, so that you know your ankles, don’t stress your knees on stress and this in this shoes, it’s very easy to do because of that very flexible bottom sole. So, whatever it comes to the comfort level, I would say this: this shoes they do get. You know a solid nine out of ten. Why nine? Why not ten? Well, here’s the thing, because, because a little bit of because of that bottom sole and as you can see, it is very aggressive and it does have a very long grooves that are sticking out we’re gonna talk about it in in an in the criteria about the outsole, we’re gonna talk about it later and I’ll mention why it’s! It does kind of take away a little bit from the comfort okay.

So number two is the proofing and protection, and whenever it comes to proofing, there is really not much proofing. This boots are not gore-tex, they are not waterproof. So keep that in mind. You know if you’re interested in in waterproof make sure you’re looking for something that has GTX in the name, because that’s what it stands for stands for gore-tex, which is waterproof sort of a fabric that they implement into the design whenever it comes to the protection, there is a little bit of that hard rubber here, a little bit of something hard here.

It’s not really rubber, it’s more of sort of a patch, so it does give you just just a little, because it is still pretty soft and that’s really it now. The bottom sole is not very thick, so you know it’s very. It’s very tough rubber. So there’s not a lot of chance that it’s going to be penetrated by something like a sharp Rock, but the nail will definitely go through without any problems. Keep that in mind.

You know whenever you’re running just make sure your your you use your looking where your step- okay, let’s just keep that in mind, number three, the quality and the design features now quality wise. If you can check out the read the link, the Amazon link is in the description below and you will see that there are a lot of positive reviews. People love this shoes for their purpose for trail running and the design features that I wanted to mention here is my favorite quick lace system, which is absolutely amazing.

I do love it so much I wish every you know. Everything was with this quick lace system, because all it takes really to you know tighten it is BAM, that’s it. So it’s really really easy to put the shoes on. It’s really easy to take them off. I! Think! That’s! That’s! That’s really good and, of course, this a lot of Solomon’s shoes they are equipped equipped with the system they call center fit these ones do features that as well.

Basically that feeling that creates sort of wraps around your foot. You know it feels really good and it gives you stability as well, especially whenever you’re running you do feel that now, let’s talk about the number four and it’s the outsole traction and stability. Now I’ve mentioned something about the outsole. This aggressive grooves. They do serve their purposes on surfaces like you know, wet grass.

Just you know your regular trail surface is kind of like woody mix of branches and leaves and stuff like that mod they do perform on all those surfaces very well. Sandy surfaces perform amazing, but here’s the thing whenever it comes to the flat surfaces like, for example, there’s desk or you know the tile or the marble, because these grooves are so long as you can see, I don’t know, I can show you they are.

You know they. They are soft and you definitely do feel that whenever you step on the you know flat surface like this, you do feel sort of that extra movement. That is not supposed to be there so sort of like you’re slipping you’re. Not it’s just a little bit like a half inch movement. It does not feel very good, especially if you’re trying to run it, feels very wobbly. So keep that in mind these shoes. They are not for flat surfaces, you’re, not gonna like them on you know, on the tile on.

You know, even like a flat concrete or something like that. It’s it’s not as noticeable, for example, on tarmac on as well, but it you know still, you do get a little bit of that wobbly nest, because this grooves are long. You know and because they are so long and I, you know they do band and that’s what gives to that imbalance so on the surfaces and flat surfaces, not good on the trail surfaces. Absolutely amazing.

Keep that in mind. Number five is the temperature. Now, of course, as you would imagine, you know they are not winter, you know in any sense, so don’t expect them to. You know, keep you warm, but at the same time you know in the hot temperatures I live in Florida and I was testing them in about 100 degrees. They do. They are very, very breathable. They are very light. It’s very it’s very comfortable to run in them in the hot temperatures your feet do not or overheat, so they are for hot temperatures.

Keep that in mind. Number six really quickly is the sizing, no problems with the sizing at all. They are definitely true to the size. No complaints here, number seven is I. Think the most important one is the balance of application and what I mean by that is. You know if this were your last shoes that you put on and- and it was something that had to do you know your survival depended on them and you had to run out of your house and you had to run and walk and climb and fight- and you know do all of this job do all those different things that you can possibly imagine to survive.

Would these shoes be good now, I think they do well, they do serve their purpose. As you know, in the trail, in the woody, it really depends on the areas where you live and how you plan your survival. For example, if you do live in the woods somewhere- and you know, if you plan to run out of your house and run through the woods and get to somewhere safe, where you need to get this shoes, obviously would be very good for that.

But if you are looking for all sorts of you don’t know what the terrain is going to be in you’re. Looking for all this difference in areas like me, for example, running through tarmac running through, you know, wet grass one day and another day running through the mall on the tile. They might not suit you very well just because of that very aggressive bottom sole and this very aggressive, long roofs that are pretty wobbly whenever it comes to flat surfaces.

So keep that in mind and the very last one is the price. Currently, this booth are selling on Amazon somewhere between $95 and a whopping 230 dollars, but it really depends on the color. It really depends on the size and the availability and what cellar you were buying the front, but you can’t get them as low as 95 dollars, for example, this particular pair that I got was I, believe hundred and ten dollars, so pretty good I think you know for for the price, it is pretty good, especially if you are a professional.

You know trail runner, trail hiker, and you do that regularly. I think you’re gonna, absolutely love this boots and for the price you get all of these cool features like this extremely aggressive bottom sole. You know this lightness, quick lacing system and all of that stuff I think that’s pretty competitive. So let me know what you guys think in the comments below I know. This is not your usual, not your typical boot review, but I thought it was something cool to you, because this boots are pretty popular.

After all, they have more than 2000 reviews on Amazon, and you know people people do like them. People do get them and they are. They are pretty amazing for the trails, if have any requests. Let me know the comments below I will be happy to address them and if I can you know if I can’t get my hands on the product? I’ll definitely review that. So thank you very much guys for watching. I appreciate it. If you found this review useful, please subscribe.

This is a still growing channel and you know you know, give me a thumbs up and I’ll see you guys in the next video.

Hike down well great, it’s a stretch, video tracks down here, anywho I am at the bottom. You may have heard the expression before what goes up must come down. What goes down has a hiker. Let’s go back up so right now, I’m gonna start my ascent back up this to show you where I came down. It’s literally that to the top of that right there and I came along that way. So that is not the way I’m gonna go back, looks a little more gradual, so we will see anywho while I do this hike up I figured.

It would be a good chance to talk about one of the pieces of gear that I always hike with, but have not mentioned yet that is I see if I can show you. My Salomon speed cross fives now get some shots just show in a minute kind of closer to the ground, how I’m hiking with these, but a little bit of the philosophy behind why I hike in trail, running shoes and not hiking boots I grew up hiking in hiking boots. That’s what my dad got me to hike in when I was a boy.

That’s my I hiked in until I was a teenager, and then something happened when I was like 18, ish and I went a couple times, hiking on some pretty simple, fairly easy hikes with some friends and I wore just like tick gross I wore just some old, like cross-training shoes that were the ones I had played volleyball in and that since gotten new one, so I wasn’t worried about him getting ruined or anything like that and I found that when I was hiking in those, it was way way way more comfortable.

For me, well has a terrifying spider with an egg pouch gross. It’s got bees on there too. All right. It was way more comfortable for me to hike in light-weight kind of like running, focused juice compared to heavy rigid boots. Now part of that is probably largely because of my environment. Here in Southern California, it’s a different terrain than a lot of other places. So if you live somewhere else, this may not apply to you as much, but for me, I find that I prefer to be agile and be weighed down, even by sacrificing some of that rigidity.

So then, after years, I was just hiking in Nikes or a 6 or whatever my oldest pair of like running or court shoes were oh yeah, finally was given. Luckily a pair of trail running shoes, the first pair I had were some ultras. They were great warm for a couple of years, put a lot of miles in them and they were fantastic. It was all the benefits of having a lightweight like court shoe, but with a sole that was meant to go on rock and dirt and had real traction.

So I did a lot of research for a long time and ultimately, eventually I landed on these Salomon speed cross shoes. Now these shoes have been a game changer for me, I liked my I think they were called ultras I liked those shoes like I, said they were a big step up, but these Salomon’s are just they’ve been perfect for me. I’ve had these: let’s see it’s been about six months now and I’ve definitely put at least a hundred miles into him, probably more probably a lot more but I’ll be conservative, I’ll, say a hundred miles of hiking in these shoes and with all of that distance they have been phenomenal.

I didn’t even really find that I had to like super break him in either, which was great. They they didn’t, give me blisters right off the bat or anything like that. They were just awesome right out of the box and they’ve held up incredibly well. They get dirty, but they take an absolute beating and they are the perfect amount of rigidity while still being really lightweight and just having a perfect perfect sole on them. So I’m gonna wrap in do a little bit of footage of me kind of down low.

So you can see them the way they look while I’m hiking in them. Hopefully that works and then I’ll do a wrap-up when I get to the top, but yeah these shoes are nuts so more to come all right. So it’s currently 92 degrees. It’s almost noon, and that was not a trail to get up it. Just wasn’t I literally just bushwhacked. My whole way up that face just pushing through stuff I had to cut a few sections. Oh my goodness, it’s a is way too hot right now. Oh I definitely should have stopped and rested along the way, but the angle of that hill I was just purely clearly in the Sun.

The whole way, there’s no shade and I, don’t like just sitting in the Sun I think I said already: it’s been five six months with them. Yeah six months now and I’ve got easily over a hundred miles, maybe more like 150 in these shoes, and they just keep taking everything. They haven’t gotten any less comfortable. If anything, they’ve only gotten more comfortable, the soles are holding up perfectly I slip. One off so I can show you it’s a it’s. Just they stay in great shape.

All they get is dirty. They haven’t worn down at all. I I don’t even have to wear funky socks with these. My favorite socks to wear with them are just my literally Stan’s classic socks like lightly padded ones, just a Salomon, conquer grip anyway. That soul is money. I think the focus of this trail running shoe I know, there’s different, like degrees of them and four different terrains and stuff I want to say this. One is like the preferences, Rock and uphill I.

Remember when I was researching them. The angle of the sole can have a slightly different degree, depending on what type of surface you plan on running on whether it’s a lot of uphill, a lot of downhill whatever it may be. These were focused on uphill, which I like as I dig hill climbs, not that one that I just did but usually I love hill climbs. It’s just fun to push yourself and get your heart. Beating and flatland isn’t test fun to me and downhill hurts many so yeah.

These have just been incredible: I’m gonna loop in in a minute some footage of me walking in them, so you can see them in action, but I got to cool down for a second that was just way way too intense. So I’m gonna crank this AC back up, get myself five and then I’ll wrap up this video outside again, alright, so first things, first I should probably show you how they go on. These have a really unique lace system and they have a bunch of debris in them from I was just doing anyway.

The way that these laces work- it’s really nice, I, totally dig them so literally I just kind of give the tongue that tug like that, and then you can cinch like this, give it a pull, pull that cinch down and then there’s this little pouch. You can tuck all of the lace into and then you’re good to go. These I was worried before I got these, that these cinches wouldn’t stay tight, that the ratchet the latch thing would kind of come. Undone on its own, I have had zero, loosening and, like I, said I’ve got miles in these.

It’s not like I’ve done, one test, hike and- and that’s been, that these have been through the wringer and yeah all of the seams and seals are holding really well. I’ve got like a few scuffs, where I’ve really scratched them bad, but I’ve like kick hard into sharp, twigs and stomped through stuff, and these have held up really really well, and so let me spin, the camera see if I can find a good way to show you me kind of moving around in them. So these shoes are dope.

I I really can’t emphasize enough the difference that I made when I switched from hiking boots to trail running shoes, I, guess there wasn’t in-betweener there where I was wearing like cross trainers, which was nice too, especially at that time. I wasn’t doing hikes as intense as I am now, and so it was usually pretty fine. But now with how much like really I go up, some pretty sketchy stuff where it would be unsafe. For me to have inadequate footwear, the amount of traction that these give me makes it just so much more comfortable to go up really steep stuff and loose terrain and to get over rock and when I’m like climbing up a face free climbing by myself, it’s better to have the right Footwear, so I’m really glad that I have these Salomon I think they are speed.

Cross I really should have known that before I did this video, but I wasn’t thinking about it before I came out here. I just thought man I, haven’t haven’t talked about these at all, so yeah 5 out of 5 stars for sure. For these shoes they just they’re breathable there light they keep my feet relatively cool. They protect my feet from everything. I’ve kicked through stomped through run into they’re, good for jumping and landing in. They have good arch support, they’re comfortable, oh yeah they’re.

In my opinion, the perfect shoe to hike in especially for a day hike and I have trail running them as well and they’re built for that, so obviously they’re great for it, but I hike way more often than I trail around now. The only situation that I could say I would want boots in is probably if I was going to be doing like a backpacking trip with a heavy pack on I’d want that extra support I’d want support around my ankles that kind of thing, but when I’m just hiking with my day pack, it is more than adequate for me to have this amount of support on my feet and, if anything, I think it’s probably I’m, not a scientist, I, don’t specifically know but I.

Imagine it’s better for my feet to have some flexibility and be letting my feet do the work instead of just relying on a totally rigid sole, because this gives me a better workout and I’m able to kind of articulate my toes a little better and I feel like I have better balance in them, and it’s just in my opinion, a much better way to hike for the types of hikes that I do at least so there you have. It that’ll, be my review on the Salomon speed cross fives.

Let’s pray, I’m right on that name: anywho they’re great shoes. There you have it.

Hello, my name is paul with golden blaze, videos and I’m here to share with you. What’s going to be a new favorite piece of gear, it is a salomon trail running shoe. This is the speed cross 5 and it’s very highly rated from what I’ve read online and yeah. I’m really looking forward to trying these on the trail. I thought I’d show them to you brand new before I got them all muddy. Um I took up trail running this past summer, want to get a little more cardiovascular in maybe speed up my hiking pace and backpacking pace, which I still do both of.

I just wanted to mix it up a little bit and throw in some trail running, and so I didn’t buy. You know trail runner, shoes right off the bat I went with my x ultra 3, which is really a hiking shoe and hey. It worked great for me and it’s still comfortable. I just ran in these a couple of days ago and um. I like them, but I thought hey. If I’m gonna stick with this trail running, which I’ve been doing now for about six months, that I’d get me some true trail running shoes, so they are um very similar on the soles so put that up there for you, um, the dirty ones.

Obviously, the x ultra 3 and then the new speed cross. The speed cross looks like it has a more aggressive tread, it’s still a contra grip thread, which is a material for salmon shoes. It’s very grippy, you notice. It’s got the v’s which point this way for helping to push off and get better grip and then on the heel. They are reversed, which helps you on the down step to break and the shoe not slide out from under you. But contra grip is a what I really like about salomon, it’s very grippy, very cushy, and this tread looks like it’s going to be great.

Another thing to show you is what they call their energy cell heel. You see the little marking there, that is, to help give you cushion when you’re stepping down onto your heel and then it’s supposed to help push you back off with um, with the energy released on the rebound um. Another thing that’s great about the salomon. It’s the same thing on the x ultra 3 is our lace system. You’ll notice, this kind of upside v shape on the sides. Those are like fingers that come up to the to the lace points on each side and that really cradles your foot good and man.

These feel comfortable right out of the box. It does have the quick lace system and uh right now. I’ve got the the little pull tab tucked up underneath the tongue where it stays, but it’s real nice you just pull to loosen and then, when you want to tighten the shoes, you just pull it back down great system, same thing to have on the x ultra 3, and I really like that holds really well helps. You tighten your shoes quickly, especially if you’re wearing gloves and cold weather, and then also they have the ortholite sole, which is very cushy.

Very comfortable helps wick away moisture, and what can I say I just love solomon’s shoes. I can’t wait to get these out on the trail, I’ll, try and shoot some video from you out on the trail and then I’ll come back after I’ve, worn these and give my final say, but so far I’d say just right out of the box. These things feel great and I can’t wait to get on the trail I’ll check in with you, after that, thanks so good morning. Finally, on the trail to try out my new salomon speed, cross running shoes and it’s a beautiful morning, it’s right at 50 degrees on one of my favorite sections of the mountain sea trail and uh, doing about six and a half miles a little over 1500 feet.

Elevation. If I remember right so, let’s try these things out check in with you later do first trail run got a muddy. Um ended up doing eight miles. It’s such a beautiful day and the shoes felt great. I really like them very grippy. The tread does extremely well very comfortable right out of the box. I did wear them for about 30 minutes on the elliptical, and then today was my first day on the trail. The break-in time was basically nothing. They feel great um ran my fastest mile uh today, which uh wasn’t trying to do that, but it just happened to work out that way, but anyways highly recommend these did some rock scrambles stepped in a puddle um had some creek crossings, wet leaves only thing I didn’t run into today was snow and the shoes still great so highly recommend them still love salmon, stuff check them out, and thanks for watching the videos and hope you’ll subscribe and stay tuned for more thanks for watching you.

This is a real-life winter test of the Sullivan speed cross for trail running shoes. One of my biggest problems in the winter is that I just constantly have cold feet. What am I running so that’s why this year, I bought a pair of the Salomon speed cross for GTX gore-tex trail running shoes, they’re, waterproof, they’re, warm so in theory. They should keep my feet, nice and toasty, and to help with that, and because you choose are no good. If you go out running snow, you just kick snowed on the inside of them where it melts and makes your feet frozen.

I also bought their trail running gaiters and held in place with Velcro, and then they just seal up the ankle. I don’t stop snow getting in over the edge I’m melting inside the shoes. My tackle Inara Forest Park in Northern Ireland we’re going to six seven mile run I, don’t hand. The big question will be. Are my feet? Still warm, oh, come side this before I get into the run and get reviewing and talking about these shoes a little bit more I’ll be interested in knowing, if you’re a runner.

If your trail runner, what what shoes is it that you wear when you go out and under you wear Gators I’ve, never I’ve, never really run snow before and so I don’t know am I going over the top. They don’t really need them so post post in the comments. What what shoes do you wear and how would you read them and if you were to be cross force? Let me know that too, and let me know what do you think of them as well, because of the snow, the Forestry Service have closed. The main car parking are today, so I’ve had to go and park I’ve had to go and park in a lie by on the road.

I come in three or four throw in the pocket, but in just a second I’ll be emerging on the snow igloo. That’s what I called you I’m gonna, be running right time for and then back out by the waterfalls back wants to get to the other side. Just because of the way the Sun is this time of year. That’s gonna get quite damp even quite icy on her foot where the snows melting I don’t have it quite slippy on the way back up, so we good to see how the shoes perform if I fall in a ditch and that’s not going to be a kids look at that.

If I’m running in oh nice, I didn’t fall over bonus, point yeah I find that if I’m running wearing these shoes- and it’s over about six degrees, Celsius might be actually get too warm borderline overheat. So there’s that to consider ha I love this bit. It’s like a roller coaster. The conditions up here could not be more ideal for me. I love, running sunshine, I, love running in snow I, love running when there’s no wind and I love running when it’s close to zero, and it’s all four of those.

Today, oh and five I love running in amazing locations, fights come up on what is probably the nicest you inkling I’ve. Look at this: it’s just something about ramen, it’s! No! Let’s just it’s magical 30 minutes in my feet are warm and toasty. They feel like there’s a heat source and my feet. It’s a speed cross force, definitely turn this job. I’ll fight the good eye on the steps nice -. This will be interesting to see if I, if I make it down here in one piece when RFA’s also known as the queen of the glance and that’s partly because it was named after the legendary British rock band and their areas around here, known as Bohemian, Rhapsody, Creek and fat bottomed, girls, milk at the main, waterfall and gone ARF- is also known as the mercury slide.

Those are those are true. True things hey, you know what I want to break free from these trees and just be in the open, because then you can’t stop when I, that’s called I think my trail running times would probably be faster. If, if I had no interest in video photography, the battery on the answer, 361 acts is running low, so I’m gonna put it away before I. Do I want to show you this? This is my homemade, more compact, invisible, selfie stick for running I bought what is actually supposed to be a gimbal extender and then using the trick.

I did with a 3 meter alone. Selfie stick I chopped the top of it, so that it’s more narrow like this, so it comes out visible in the shots and that’s what I’ve been filming all the 360 stuff with for this and then the other thing I found that bought this. This is a little cheap plastic tripod that goes on the bomb. This one’s made by an Dewar and I’m, just meaning to set at the ground for doing gimmicky shorts like guy running around it shot I’ve not been paid to review these they’re, my own shoes I bought them for myself.

Oh look, a waterfall, oh I saw it. I saw well, let’s simply understand, Oh, okay, I think that’s who comes the worst of it, terrible Shimla I’m having to walk on the most horrible of help heartless. But it’s just it’s just too icy to run be dangerous, Alec, interesting! Oh, they don’t provide grip on slick ice for them. I, don’t think anything short of metal, mail, spikes or yak tracks is gonna help with that. This is one of the glowing RF ba fees that we’re going to encourage people to do a little bit more wild, camping and hiking, but due to budget constraints that didn’t have enough money for a fourth wall, or indeed a door.

So they’re not really. Once you see anybody speaking of fourth walls, this hill here, which is the last hill in the north up to the car park, is known as the hell of H, because that’s the side you make when you’re halfway up, that is the seat of shame so-called because of the shim you’ll feel. If you give up and sit on it when you’re supposed to be running, hit, hit hit this hill, but I am going to learn to love it or at least tolerate it. Muffit the carpark, there’s a soul in sight here.

I know, I said that our view is the best feeling on earth, but maybe it’s this one. So verdict I’ve been out running for nearly an hour, I’ve done 36 miles and my feet are dry. My fear. Warm I’m with the big Gators on absolutely no snow gotten to my ankles I am I’m. Actually, I am delighted with how well he’s done. This is exactly what I got before and they performed exactly yeah really happy with these I’m going up. So it’s a GoPro off not about really done. I know we’re about two miles back to the car, so that’s pretty much it yeah.

If you’re looking for a pair of trail shoes in one room, what I’d recommend absolutely selamat speed cross four and if you’re gonna be running in snow grab a pair of the Gators and stick them on. Let’s stop snow, getting down into your ankles. If you liked this video please hit like please leave a comment. Let me know what you wear or even let me know just what gr you wear if you’re out running in the snow and please subscribe, if you want to get more videos like this and I, will see you on the next video, which might be a review of a light or phone cover, we’ll see, – snowman stand in the garden chandi charlie I’m, one of them Ted.

Just not carrots, you.

Solving equals four: this is the black Everglade slipper spring Holloway, and they are size, nine and a half years. Forty three and one-third European, and then you came nine. These babies we’re gonna talk about some sizing. First of all, I would believe these are true to size if I were, if you, if you compare it to a Nike and Adidas I, wear for two and two-thirds in adidas and I wear for the tree in night. So if you wear that this woman and I normally don’t work for the three and one-third in adidas, because yeah a little bit too big, this fits like a Nike funny tree I would say spot on right after box I think they are a real nice.

She I had my first running these in mountains a couple of days ago and when I took him off, I was outside for maybe two three hours before I came home and then I walked on, because I had to walk to the city to get to the mall and in the morning it was really nice and firm and great done. It’s fits like a glove after a while I got a little bit pain in this part here and a little bit. This part here on the right foot and a little pain under here, because the shoes are so stiff.

But then again it’s a branding mountain running, so I definitely need to break them in so I’m. Not scared of this being like and painful shoot to where it’s like just robust issue that you need to yeah breaking I gotta, follow for a decent price and I’ve seen fives speed, cross, fives and I. Don’t see that necessary, necessary to spend a little bit more because I don’t think they upgraded this who, like they did from the tree today, for, for example, I think this is just as good as the 5, maybe I haven’t put it all and I see some reviews and some people said spread out something to sizes, but to me like I’m, not like this professional runner, a run like the road, maybe two times a week now and I try to run in the mouth into the treehouse a week so five days a week, but none long runs.

Maybe 40 minutes to max maybe 5k, sometimes maybe 7k. Sometimes it’s just really fashionable to, and he looks great and like I have a lot of she’s like a lot of shoes and our sneakers every day and like for fashion and I would say. I haven’t been this excited for shoe. You know, I know that I’m liking. You too, like Salomon I, never had a Salomon shoe before, but the trees I think it looks better because it’s a little bit, not not a statistic and the colorways for the trees are insane, but they don’t make I think there are production so, but either way, if you it’s not a great shoe for the summer Erin, but for the wintertime just for snow and everything you come where this is a passion like I know a lot of people just wearing for corner walks and stuff, but I would recommend this like if you into fashion, you know how to start this shoe is nice, so to be fair.

I would recommend this for, like in the summer time, in the winter time, when it’s a lot of snow outside, because so quickly notes and when I was running. This shoe was really good. You never looked that good because it’s like a running trail. It don’t look like it feels that comfortable. But it’s really nice. It’s really been nice being the French, so yeah I will do a little outfit relief. You guys yeah! That’s it thanks.

So these are the deep speed cross force. First of all, I do own. Almost everything Salomon makes for whatever technical, their hiking climbing, not much of the higher boots. I do own a bunch of cell phones because it was gonna, be relevant, so I brought in foul razors I brought in the speed cross. 3 I’m gonna show you what they look like I brought in my XA Pro 3-d ultras I do really bruise them. This kind of should tell you that I really use them. It’s not like just I buy shoes in review, so you’re gonna get an accurate one and I’m not compensated by anyone.

So these are all my shoes, my archers. Nobody gives them for free to say anything, nice or bad about themselves. Ok, so, first things! First, if you have that speed, cross 3 and you want yeah, let’s say they’re in bad shape and you need anymore and you want to go with speed cross 4. If you’re used to speed cross 3 speed cross 4 now gonna be good for you. I’ll tell you why? Because this is a trail running one, it says racing material on the speed cross freely, but that’s not what it says on the shoe.

What Solomon did to the shoe the travel running shoe is more guided. What I mean by that is speed. Cross 3 is like a sock. You wear the shoe superlight ultra flexible, like I kid you not like it is kind of fold. I mean it’s the back. The the heel part of it is really soft. This part really bugs me on certain issues: I, don’t like too much guidance in the heel unless I’m doing like technical, climbing or anything I want to run I want to wear a shoe like a sock.

You know like one of those things that way you put your toes in I, don’t like them, but I like this one. So it’s really thin material. The top of the material is the same except the trail running shoes of gore-tex, which I don’t suggest, buying gore-tex you’re gonna get wet regardless of its gore-tex or not so you’re, better off with some kind of material that dries quick. Instead of trying to keep water out. You’re gonna get water in that regardless and it’s gonna be tougher to get it out and if you have gore-tex so okay, so I bruise these shoes- you can tell these- are my speed cross 3 s I mean they got a lot to tell you can see the punctures here.

Look at the heel, I really bruise the crap out of them there’s no more teeth. If you wanna, compare no more great. Almost look at this I mean I’ve, been everywhere with these things in salt, water, muddy water, off-road anywhere climbing on certain rocks, I’m, not saying rock climbing, but you know I used them for everything. I think they. It came to an end. Gonna use them for gardening now, so it was time to upgrade when I got the forest. I was kind of disappointed because you see this flexibility and light weight.

It’s gone this shoe. Let me use the other one. This tells you all the gore-tex and all the fancy stickers and everything on it. I’ll put it right there. This shoe here is nowhere near flexible I, put a muscle in it right now. Look about the shoe bands from I want my shoe bending from here. You know why, if it doesn’t Bend from here, the heel doesn’t give when the heel doesn’t give doesn’t matter how the shoe fits your your heel will go up even though, like quarter inch up and down up and down moving in the shoe, the shoe does not Bend.

If it doesn’t give your heel is gonna have to go up, so it’s a natural way of running. You know you has to give, but this is not good enough of a give year. It’s not even flexible. This is so stiff at the bottom that the shoe doesn’t bend at the right spot, and for me this is super. Guided I kid you not I mean solar, won’t change this! It’s like going backwards. Why would they do that? I was just so ready to wear these shoes but I’m sending them back to get another.

One. Obviously I need some [ __ ] to run. I got my thigh races, but they’re, not like really runners. This is so guided like it’s almost unconscious uncomfortably guided like I’m, not gonna. Do rock climbing, with this I know, I, understand that it has to have a stable heel for trails but is extremely guided I, don’t know why Salomon would do this. I mean this was like one of their bestsellers. Now you can always search for a speed, cross, 3 and still gonna find it I, don’t know if you’re gonna find the same I’m, definitely ordering a speed cross 3 before it’s completely like discontinued.

I may even get two of those, because I really love the way that shoe fits. So the four like I said the bottom is completely stiff. This part is like not even bending I kid you not. Obviously the material is a little thicker feels a little stiffer. It’s not as soft like speed cross 3, because it’s gore-tex gore-tex may come handy if you have like little water. But if you live in Florida, you know you’re gonna dip in water ankle deep, but at any point so I really not care about gore-tex I, really don’t care if my feet gets wet, but if you think that you’re gonna just step in some puddles and get off gore-tex is fine, because it’s keep it’ll keep the water out.

But if you’re gonna go in ankle deep boaters gonna get in there, regardless its gore-tex or not. So who cares about this cortex, so she can save on that? Go for the regular one. So if you don’t like guided shoes, meaning the shoe will not take the shape of your feet, your feet has to fit in the shoe, which is like a terrible idea. If you’re gonna do a lot of runnings as far as the cushion goes, it feels good. It’s almost the same thing: I mean they just changed.

The way lightweight, muscle, lightweight muscle, it’s kind of like I can tell the difference. Man. This thing is like much lighter. My speed cross 3 is are like super lighter, and this one is a little heavier on the side. I don’t want to get into like too much details about the weight. I mean, obviously it’s negligible, probably, but you can still feel it if you’re gonna run a marathon. Obviously in the woods it may matter for you, so the blocks work great.

Obviously this is like a very innovative system. I still love it, I, really don’t care about other kind of ties, I actually, like dread tying my other shoes, if I have regular sneakers too. Obviously, I really look for these. This is a very innovative system. The problem is one of them, don’t even work out of the box. That’s another reason that I’m returning it it gets stuck halfway inside is ortholite it’s thin, but it works perfect. So you do really not need anything else in there just used, but what comes with it? The the design is pretty similar.

Obviously you can see the three you can see. The four shoelace is kind of red on this one, a ton of the shoe is a little more I want to say, like puffier, so he’s kind of bulkier here when you, when you put your shoe on this, is a little thinner and I like the way it fits. Actually, it’s much softer material right here, so I really don’t care for gore-tex I kid you not like it has up a lot of weight. Obviously the visibility marks are like same here.

You can just see in the dark a little bit in the back of the shoe they’re coming from as all to s and all that so but, like I, said, I tear these uh like I, wear them on the trail really heavily, so you can see what it was and what it came to. So that’s this is my speed cross 3. This is my fellow racers I’m loving this shoe foul racers like one of the best they discontinued I. Don’t know why they keep discontinuing the shoes. I love super flexible, I mean super lightweight.

Very aggressive grip. I am loving. These shoes like they are good. Looking shoes super nice and everything, but I can’t find them anymore self, and then these are my eyes: lose the crap out of these also probably I’m leaning towards these. Instead of speed, cross four and then I’m gonna get a speed cross, 3, Pro I’ll find them somewhere, X, April, 2 or 3 D. These are gray shoes I kid you not they’re in the heavy side, they’re completely flat right now, like if I get up.

If the surface is wet, forget about snow or any kind of slippery service, just wet I can’t even walk with these. It’s just does it doesn’t even feel like rubber anymore, some kind of other material pulled out of this thing like it. It lost this grip completely I, wear them for gardening. Like I said, you know, cleaning the dog crap from the yard or just mowing the yard, and all that so I keep throwing them in the washing machine and they’re coming out like clean at least not super functional bit so getting back to our feet cross for you can probably find these under hundred dollars right now and I got them for ninety two dollars on Amazon make sure the retailer is real.

Don’t buy these knock-offs these shoes last you forever I mean I’d. Like I said you don’t want to save on these and trying to buy a $20 Chinese knockoff. So are you gonna pay about 90 to 110 to 120? If it’s too good to be true, you know, that’s not real, so be careful with those buy it from an authorized retailer all right. Well, that’s it! If you have any questions, let me know and I will try to answer them for you. So it’ll probably help you hopefully it’ll help you to get a better idea which sure you want speed, cost rewrite -, because for right there foul razor right here discontinued.

You can still find the speed cross. 3 and our Ultra XD 4 right there. So let me know if you have any questions thanks for watching. Let me know which one you like the most.

Yo, what’s up everyone, I hope you’re, quick video well, actually might not be that quick, but I’m gonna do a video on the salomon speed cross fives and I wanna talk about the features of the shoe and how they all come together to affect overall performance of the shoe things like comfort and support, and I’m also going to talk about how they perform out on the trail and if you can even wear these, it’s kind of casually bumping around town.

I’ve been intrigued by this model. Ever since I saw the collaboration between salomon and uh boris john uh, not boris johnson, boris sabiri of 11 by bbs. Sadly, the 11 by vbs ones are incredibly hard to come across. In my size, I wear a us12 and I can’t even find them used in ux 12, but I went and opted for the all black pair, which you really can’t go wrong with, and I absolutely love these shoes.

I was really drawn to the functionality of these shoes. However, I was also drawn to the overall aesthetic of them as well. They seem very futuristic like they could be out of a cyberpunk dystopia or even like a star wars movie or something. So that’s really right up my alley. So I’m quite keen on that.

One of the more unique features about these shoes is the very aggressive chevron lugs on the sole it’s designed for very loose and uneven terrain and I’ll go over more later on this video, when I actually am out on a run and I’m just sharing my fresh thoughts on the shoes, but to keep it short and sweet here.

The traction is absolutely amazing. With these. However, my only real concern with these shoes is because the traction lugs are so aggressive. If you wear these too much out on normal pavement, you might cause a little bit premature. Wear it’s kind of like if you had a pair of mud train tires on your jeep and you like they perform really well off-road.

But if you drive way too much just on pavement, it will cause premature, wear so kind of double-edged sword there. If any of you guys are watching, have any long-term experience with these speed crosses. I would like to know how they’ve held up for you in the comments below anyways moving on to the midsole.

It is their energy cell branded midsole and it’s designed to be very responsive and it’s very light as well, and even when you’re out running you do kind of notice the rebound on it and the midsole does go kind of up in our cups around the heel, just to give some extra support and protection, but in combination with the ortholite insole, it really does add a whole other degree of comfort to this shoe and I have a lot of comfortable shoes, but I have to say this is probably one of my most comfortable shoes.

I went true to size and I have zero complaints with it. What’s nice about these salomon shoes, if you do have wide feet, they do offer wide versions as well. So again, I would just go true to size and if you got wide feet, they got you covered. Salomon does have their branded scentsy fit support upper and that’s all the zigzag lines you see here in combination with the lacing system.

It does provide really good support for your foot and I’m not sure what exact material it’s made out of visually. It does kind of look like a fiberglass like material where it’s a bunch of synthetic fibers kind of woven and welded. Together I mean obviously it’s not fiberglass, but that’s visually, that’s what it looks like, but that material goes up all the way from around the heel through the zigzags and up into the toe cap and this whole upper.

It is a welded upper meaning that there’s no stitching on it I mean other than like. You know the eyelets there. Now I did not go for the gore-tex version. I just went for the standard mesh version. It is more breathable than the gore-tex and it’s cheaper too. So really, unless you live in a very wet climate or plan on running in the mud, I would just go ahead and opt for the standard version.

Salomon says it’s an anti-debris mesh, so hopefully it doesn’t get all clogged up when you’re running through the dirt and everything I haven’t noticed any uh dirt gang clogged in there. So that’s a good sign. Also. There is a nice little toe cap here just to help protect your foot when you’re out running on the trail also also probably helps protect the shoe as well increases the durability of it, for if you were to catch your foot on a rock or something the quick lace system works really well, it’s probably one of my favorite features about this shoe, so it’s super easy to operate.

Just put your just hold the end of the laces and put your other hand on the toggle and then to tighten it, just pull the toggle down and the laces up and it tightens throughout the shoe and then to loosen them. Just do the inverse of that, of course, but once you have it tightened to tuck away all the excess laces there is this pocket here, so you can just go ahead and tuck the end of that in there, so it doesn’t get caught on anything or doesn’t flop about, and it creates a much cleaner look to it as well.

I find that once you tighten the shoes to your liking, it’s really easy just to slip them on and off. So you don’t even have to mess with that something I was a little bit concerned about was because these laces are thinner and they’re really strong too, but because they’re thinner, when you really do tighten them down, you might feel it against your foot.

However, the tongue is nice and padded, so you don’t notice that at all very comfortable anyways, those are pretty much all the main features of this shoe. So here’s my impression, while I was out on a little trail run, so I should jog hike because I’m a little bit out of shape with my cardio and everything all right.

I apologize for the audio and, if the phone’s a little bit shaky, this is my second trail run with these speed crosses and first impressions out on the trail, the traction is incredibly good. The really deep lugs are very noticeable dude. Look at my fuzz around my head jesus. So all the traction lugs work really really well, it’s the traction is on par, if not better than a lot of my dedicated hiking boots, and even the lugs like on the toes when you’re going up, really steep stuff or you’re running, you do notice that it does help.

So it’s not just for show or anything. Another thing, that’s very noticeable is the comfort, the insoles and the midsole very comfortable. Virtually no braking period whatsoever, and also the lacing system does a really good job of supporting your foot even uh, when you haven’t really broken them in or had them that long.

So I know that, lastly, the breathability, it’s really nice, I don’t notice my feet getting hot at all and a reason why I didn’t go with the gore-tex ones is just where I live. It’s uh, it’s pretty dry, so I would rather have the better breathability than the gore-tex, which is still breathable, but just not as much so it’s also a little bit cheaper too these shoes and uh so yeah.

Those are my initial trail impressions and you get better at a trail running because when I first started today, I didn’t pace myself whatsoever and I just had a coffee, maybe 15, minutes before and uh kind of felt, a little bit sick to my stomach. Another thing I want to touch on is when you’re going downhill.

You know like sometimes when you have like some some kind of loose gravel and everything, and your foot like slips out from under you. The traction legs that are kind of reversed actually do a really good job of holding your foot in place. I mean these things are practically cleats for off-road, so um yeah, that’s something that is really nice, because I always hate when you’re hiking or running and you’re going down something like a steeper hill like this, and then your foot like that slips out from under you uh.

I mean it can still happen in these, of course. So it’s features like that, like the really good traction and support that really pushed me to get these instead of working out and running in my like normal, like nike free, runs that I would normally run in because I’m not sure about you guys, but I would much rather run through the woods instead of on a treadmill or on the side of a road, so um yeah, even though these are trail running shoes.

I do think you can wear these casually just kind of bumming around town, especially if you do have like a techwear wardrobe. So here’s just a very simple fit. I threw together with these, I do have my on from levy a mess to pants and skull your dry skin, very nice fabric, probably my favorite pair of pants, just a uniqlo airism t-shirt, and then the rosen x minerva over shirt very simple fit, but I really think these shoes match the whole vibe of the outfit.

Someone who, I think really pulls off the salomon speed crosses really well, is lucky eatos. He got a white pair and he kind of did a little diy drop to make. It look like a 11 by bbs model and he wears a lot of like arterix valence um, some really clean gray, man style, but I think these look really good, even if you’re completely dripped out an acronym or anything drapier, very versatile shoe pretty easy to wear, no matter what your style is now because this is a more futuristic shoe.

In my opinion, I think a little bit more futuristic outfits kind of match the vibe a little bit more, but that’s just a general rule. My opinion, of course, anyways guys. I’m gonna go ahead and link these down below um, including the gore-tex versions, even just because I know a lot of people really do like gore-tex I mean myself included is just like, like I said in the video, it’s just very dry where I live, so it made sense just to get these, but I do use an affiliate link.

So if you guys do use the link, I get a teeny teeny bit of commission from the sale, so I’m just being open and transparent with you. It doesn’t add anything to the price whatsoever, but anyways guys. I hope you enjoyed that video. Thank you to everyone who does subscribe. I really do appreciate every single one and I will see you guys in a video pretty soon so see ya.

Bonus video bonus, video hold on hold on there. It is there it is I got it. I got it right. The Salomon speed cross four, and this is one of those running shoe reviews that just fell through the cracks in 2018 I’m, not sure what happened. I’ve owned this shoe for almost a year now and I haven’t done a full review on the shoe I’ve done a couple. Other videos, they’re gonna pop out in the next 20 seconds upper right hand corner the unboxing.

The first impressions I’ve done a ton of running in this Salomon speed cross for in 2018 and for all of the Salomon fans out there. By the way, did you know in spring 2019 so about I? Think it’s March or April they’re, releasing the Salomon speed cross 5. So it’s coming, but this is the 4 I’m gonna, give you my full thoughts and review today and and just a quick heads-up just so you know this is a very aggressive, lug driven running shoe and when I say lugs what am I talking about.

It’s these the tread and the grip on the outsole of the shoe. Here. You can see it right there, so that is, that is the hallmark of this speed cross for, in my humble opinion, so let’s get a couple more miles in them and then up here in the mountains by the way I’m at Deer Creek outside of Denver Colorado. It’s amazing up here, it’s amazing and then we’ll get you the full review and the bonus video and the bonus video with the Salomon speed cross 4.

It is in my hands. Right now ran in it today. This is the second video publishing today. If you missed the first one, it’s all about overtraining upper right hand, corner and the challenges as runners that we might have with overtraining, so go check that out, if you’re interested in getting the discussion going on that topic. But this video is all about this shoe and let’s dive into a few specs about the Salomon speed cross 4.

First of all, the heel is a 30 millimeter stack height in the back here, yeah, which is pretty high for a for any shoe really and then in the toe box. It’s 20 millimeter, which gives this shoe a 10 drop. Pretty aggressive right, putting you up on your toes because your heel is going to be lifted off the ground and I like it. I like it for the uphill, especially it helps you.

It helps relieve a little bit of that torque that you’re putting on your Achilles and your heel area um, because it’s yeah, it’s just it’s. It’s like putting a little lift on the back of your foot, um, so I like it and with this shoe I think oh yeah eleven and a half ounces which Salomon I’m gonna, call you out right now, calling you out right now, listen to what Solomon said on their website.

The Solomon speed crossed for GTX is more than a running shoe. It’s -, it’s an institution for enthusiasts who want lightweight and aggressive grip on technical, soft trails. Salomon I, don’t quite understand what you’re talking about here lightweight at eleven and a half ounces, uh I would beg to differ now. I, don’t feel like it feels too heavy and I’m not sure that eleven and a half ounces is that a size.

Twelve. Is that a size, ten and a half I’m not sure what what size shoe? They didn’t list it on the website, but that is definitely not lightweight in my books but I’ll. Forgive you for that. Little interpretation of the shoe Salomon with respect to the outsole in and so what stands out the most about the Salomon speed cross, for it is definitely this rubber outsole um, as we’ve already discussed many times with a shoe.

The lugs on the bottom of this guy are just incredible: they’re off they’re they’re off the charts off the chain as I like to say, meaning you are not gonna fall. I was running on ice today and yeah the ice. You know it’s ice, so you’re not gonna, get your best grip, but even hard packed, snow, I felt completely safe running in the shoe, but perhaps more important and I know.

Salomon is kind of making this shoe for softer trails and in Colorado we have a lot of hard packed trails because we don’t get a lot of rain here and you know Europe where Solomon is based. There’s a lot of trails over there that are softer based or I’m thinking like Northern, California or definitely the East Coast in the Appalachia is like just softer trails that might have more mud a little more leaf action that breaks down into that yeah, just a softer pack trail.

This shoe is gonna. Do amazing, however, I’m also talking about I love, this shoe for Colorado because of the protection you receive through this rubber outsole, it’s basically like a skid plate on the bottom of your foot. You know you have skid plates on the bottom of a truck or a big. You know big off-roading, Jeep I, don’t know if I feel very comfortable on the trails going over.

Some of those rocks that I’m going over right now on your screen in a Nike, Terra, Kiger or frankly, even a lot of Hocus shoes. Even though there’s like a lot of cushion there um the the the risk of a rock kind of poking through into the bottom of your foot, it doesn’t feel good I’ve done it many times, and so no issues in a Salomon speed cross for with pokey rocks on the upper of the Salomon speed cross for definitely not breathable at all.

It’s designed to get wet it’s so you’ve got a lot of rubber, especially through the outer wall here, all the way even to toward the back, but especially around the toe box. So not a breathable shoe at all. You’re, not gonna want to wear this in hot hot temperatures, that is for sure, and very durable. A little bit of wear and tear I’m noticing by my pinky toe so and listen I’ve, put 250 miles into the shoe on hard hard terrain.

It’s the classic Salomon lacing system. On top through the upper. It’s the quick lace system, it utilizes, durable, Kevlar fibers that adjust easily but again Salomon I’m gonna have to disagree with you that this is my biggest complaint about this shoe more than anything else is that the lace- and this is I- know it’s a small detail, but it’s an it’s very annoying.

The shoelaces are very stiff now and maybe I need to wash them or. But you can’t really take these. These laces out of the shoe but they’re just very stiff and it’s hard to lace up the shoe. So I just want to point that out and that’s my frankly, that’s my biggest complaint about the shoe so I’m willing to live with it, but I would not quite agree with you on the lacing system.

Analysis that I’m finding on your website. The shoe is probably going to run a half size small. So beware: if you’ve got you know, you may want to do a half size up. Just just warning you on that I am noticing it’s a little. It’s a little more snug than most shoes that I own and or you know, maybe you just need to wear a thin sock if you want to keep the same size, which might be a good idea if you do plan to run in this shoe at some point in the summer time, and a few more points took me about 50 miles to break this shoe in so it’s you know right out of the box.

It’s not gonna feel like it’s ready to rock and roll it did. You know it is on the stiffer side, more firm side of the running shoe lineup and that leads into one of the greatest benefits of buying any Salomon, but especially this Salomon. The speed cross for is the durability after 250 miles over crazy rocky trails. I think this shoe is just getting started now. The price point brand new, 160 bucks, but I did just find it for a hundred and ten dollars on Amazon Shh.

Don’t tell anyone, don’t tell anyone, so you can find this at a pretty decent price, bearing in mind that the speed cross 5 is coming out in the spring. So you may just want to wait for that, but I think I will put another hundred miles into this easy and bump it up to 350 miles easily. If I wanted, I could I could not buy the speed cross 5 and just keep riding this guy for I would I bet I could get 500 miles out of this shoe, and so, as far as value, you know, I paid full price up front.

160, bucks and I mean we’re just we’re just getting started a year into owning the shoe. So that is a huge, huge bonus for Solomon and the Solomon engineers and then just the material choices that they’re choosing to make in order to produce a higher quality product and I appreciate that because yeah they’re more expensive but you’re, probably gonna, get more life out of it.

So I’m gonna give you an overall score for the shoe and then just make one last point: eight and a half out of ten eight and a half out of ten no brainer. That’s a great score for my in my books, um but I, Solomon, I’m gonna, say your website is like a 5 out of 10 I. Think you’re you’re doing a little false advertising here, and this is just me being raw and real and transparent with you guys, I won last slight drawback is the cushion you’re not gonna, want to run.

I would not run more than 20 to 25 miles in this shoe like a big mountain day. I think this is better for, let’s say 10 to 15 miles in the mountains. The cushion is just not there. It’s not a Hoka, it’s not an ultra, it’s a it’s more aggressive and it’s it’s just a it’s a firmer as we are, as I already mentioned, it’s just a firm shoe and so just be aware of that, as if you’re considering this shoe that it’s um, if you like a lot of cushion this is not your shoe.

If you don’t necessarily if you like that ground contact feel a little more. So this is your shoe, like you feel, like you’re, really digging into the ground, and that’s where that those lugs come in and just this, the the drop from heel to toe it just is it’s dit you’re digging in as you’re climbing the mountain and the key word number four for the Salomon speed cross form and the question of the day for this video.

Do you have any desire to run on rocky trails with a lot of vertical, like is that party or do you enjoy that and if not um have you tried trails before that? Are rocky and you just didn’t like it so I’m, just trying to gauge where you guys are at with rocky, not just trail running, because there’s a difference between trail running and then rocky trail running where I like to use this shoe.

Alright, that’s the second video in the books, love you guys, I hope you enjoyed and learned a little something about this shoe again. It will be coming out. The five in the spring I’m yeah, yeah, yeah I’ll, be I’ll, be getting a pair I! Think it’s April, so I’m gonna put that on the docket. It’s it’s! The shoe is changing in the spring a little bit in the heel area.

More updates on that later see beauty, work out, I’d love to again.
