How does the Speedcross 6 differ from the Speedcross 5?

The 6 keeps the same Mud Contagrip concept but revises the outsole so it sheds mud better and grips wet surfaces, and it gets a new ripstop upper with Sensifit construction for a closer fit.

Is the Speedcross 6 good for road running?

Not really. The tall, soft lugs are made for dirt and mud, and on pavement they feel slow, wear quickly and make noticeable noise.

Does it fit true to size?

It runs snug and narrow. Runners with wide feet or thick socks usually go up half a size; those with narrow feet can take their normal size.

No. The ripstop and mesh upper is breathable and drains, but water gets in. Salomon sells a separate waterproof version for wet weather.

What is the drop and cushioning like?

It has a 10 mm heel-to-toe drop and a firm EnergyCell+ midsole. Expect a responsive, ground-feel ride rather than soft, max cushioning.

What comes in the box?

One pair of shoes with the Quicklace system already fitted and the lace ends tucked into the tongue pocket. No spare laces or insoles are included.

About the Salomon Speedcross 6 Trail Running Shoes (Women's)

The Salomon Speedcross 6 is a women's trail running shoe built for loose, soft, rugged or uneven surfaces. Its Mud Contragrip outsole provides grip and traction, and this version is updated to shed mud better and grip wet surfaces.

The EnergyCell+ midsole foam provides energy, rebound, cushioning and durability. The revamped upper uses Sensifit construction for a precise, snug foothold. The ripstop fabric is durable, keeps debris out, and is lightweight and breathable.

The Quicklace system tightens with one pull for easy on and off, and it keeps loose laces from tripping you up. The shoe is made for backcountry running and for hiking.
