Is the Speedcross GTX fully waterproof?

Yes. A Gore-Tex membrane makes the upper waterproof and windproof while remaining breathable. Water does not get in through the upper, though it can enter over the collar in deep water.

How does it differ from the standard Speedcross?

The GTX adds the waterproof Gore-Tex membrane and an updated floating tongue. The outsole and Sensifit fit are the same Speedcross formula, so expect the same aggressive grip.

What terrain is it made for?

Soft, wet and mixed ground: mud, loose gravel, wet grass and soft snow. On pavement and hardpack the deep lugs feel slow and noisy.

How does the fit run?

Snug and precise through the midfoot thanks to Sensifit and Quicklace. Runners with wide feet often need to size up or look at a wider model.

Does it work for hiking as well as running?

Yes. The grip, waterproof upper and protective mesh suit wet-weather hikes and fast packing, though the firm cushioning is tuned more for trail running.

What is Quicklace and can it be adjusted?

Quicklace is a single cord pulled tight and stowed in a pocket on the tongue. It adjusts in one pull and stays set without tying.

Our take on the Salomon Men's Speedcross Gore-Tex Trail Running Shoes

The Salomon Speedcross GTX is a waterproof trail running shoe built for soft, wet and mixed ground. Its aggressive Contagrip TA lugs bite into mud, loose gravel and snow, and the Gore-Tex membrane keeps feet dry while staying breathable. The Sensifit upper with Quicklace gives a close, precise hold, and the floating tongue adds comfort over long days. It suits runners and hikers who spend time on wet, technical trails; on hard packed or paved surfaces the deep lugs feel slow and noisy compared with lighter all-round trail shoes.
