Trail running shoe with a rough profile. The Salomon Speedcross 6 Gore-Tex is a trail running veteran, now in its sixth version. It is a shoe for demanding trail running on almost all surfaces, especially on wet and soft trails. The shoe is well made and offers reliable protection against scree and sharp stones. The tongue is completely welded to the upper material, avoiding seams and reducing the risk of chafing. Thanks to the integrated Gore-Tex membrane, the shoes are also waterproof. Salomon relies on the tried-and-tested Quicklace lacing system, which is very easy to use and ensures a secure and comfortable fit. There are lace pockets on the outside where the Quicklace can be safely stowed away. The midsole offers soft, gentle cushioning without compromising power transmission and responsiveness. The 10 mm height difference between the heel and forefoot area is designed for long distances, with a heel height of 33 mm.
The coarse sole with 5 mm deep V studs is the trademark of the Speedcross. The sixth version also impresses with optimum grip, especially on wet and soft surfaces. However, the shoe is less suitable for very hard, dry trails. The Speedcross 6 Gore-Tex offers good support in the heel area and has a medium-width forefoot area. It also has an Ortholite insole and soft cushioning, which ensures a secure hold even on technically demanding trails and provides the necessary comfort for long distances.
