Description

For your quick, calculated steps during a race or heart-pounding solo mountain loop.

The race course may follow a long and winding mountain trail, but you welcome each coming mile thanks to the aggressive, lightweight Salomon SpeedCross 3 Trail Running Shoe. With less bulkiness to slow you down, this race trail shoe provides just enough cushioning and and excellent grip to keep your strides strong and true whether or not you're racing toward an established finish line.

  • The Lightweight Muscle chassis features two layers of EVA in the midsole for reducing the constant impact of running, without more junk to slow your pace
  • Mud, slick rock, and fresh snow are no problem thanks to the non-marking Mud & Snow ContaGrip rubber outsole sticking you to the terrain
  • An anti-debris mesh and water-resistant textile upper with mud guard help you master the trail, even if it's not in perfect condition
  • Sensifit outer design uses a one-pull Quicklace system to ensure the shoe wraps tightly around your foot and doesn't move throughout your many miles on the trail
  • Ortholite footbed cradles your foot with shaped foam and an EVA heel cup for additional impact absorption

These really are great. I had a very special need, probably not what the designers of these had in mind. I do a lot of fast walking with my very energetic Jack Russell Terrier on steep trails of either loose gravel or slippery mud. At a mere 14lbs, she is a bundle of energy especially with a squirrel in her cross-hairs. And while I'm trying to balance on a steep down slope and she's tugging away, I need something that really grips. And these really grip. They are extremely comfortable. I did 8 miles and 2k ft of elevation last weekend and they just feel great up and down. Lacing system yields a really snug fit. Salomon does have a reputation for being narrow, but these swallow my orthotics and are just super comfy. I thought about getting the climashield version, but when with these instead. The are a tad warm, but the others would have been too much. My only complaint - next time I won't get the baby blue color.

Do these shoes hold water or does the water...

Do these shoes hold water or does the water flow out of them pretty good. I run lots of mud run where myt feet are totally submerged. Just looking for something that doesnt hold water. thank you

They're going to hold quite a lot of water. It's not a very open mesh. I'd look at something like the La Sportiva Wildcat.

Are you saying this is a good thing? 6 weeks, 3x a week is a lot of running - especially on slick rock. Most shoes would be done in that period and these look like they could go another six!

WHAT KIND OF WARRANTY COMES WITH YOUR SHOE? AND WHERE CAN I FIND THEM IN CINCINNATI?

The shoe comes from Backcountry with an unconditional lifetime warranty. You can return it in any condition at any time for any reason for a full refund. As to buying it, Backcountry.com products can only bought online or at their warehouse in Salt Lake City, but shipping is fast and free. If you buy it at a local store, the warranty won't apply and you'll only have the 1-year manufacturer warranty.

I love this shoe...sure to buy this again in the future. I've had these since June 2012. Whether it's summer trail running, hiking, backpacking, or even winter trail running, this shoe grips like no other. Running downhill on icy surfaces is no big deal, as the rubber "cleats" prevent mostly all slipping and sliding when other shoes wouldn't. Right out of the box, the shoe has a great fit and comfort, which only increases with time.

My reasoning for 4 stars: Strictly because it doesn't come in GoreTex. GoreTex would make this shoe the best trailrunning shoe on the market in my opinion.

Select the shipping speed that will have it arrive by then. In your case one, maybe two day shipping for future reference.

I was searching a pair of SpeedCross 3 in my size (eu48) in my country and could not find in any shop. Finally decided to make it through the net overseas and didnt regret it at all. Quick delivery (2weeks) on a Greek island. It fits like a glove and even I wear it only a week now I really love it. Great off road runnning footware.

The past two spring/summer/fall seasons this shoe has been my only shoe for multi day self-supported fast treks in the back country with a 20 lbs. pack.

The shoe fits very well and wears very well as I have had no blisters even when the shoe has become wet during stream crossings or many miles in the rain.

The shoe dries quickly and is very easy to keep clean.

The shoe is very tough and has suffered no damage from the New England granite and Pennsylvania iron stone.

Traction on soft pack, sand, grass and mud is excellent.

Grip on rock surfaces and boulders is excellent.

Shedding mud as one continues to trek is excellent.

I have worn many soft shoes over my trekking history and this shoe has been the best performer of them all.

I have found that the sole's thickness will allow you to feel sharp rocks but as long as I limit pack weight to less than 25 lbs. and use trekking poles I have had no issue with bruising or pain from wearing such a lite shoe while trekking.

It was pointed out to me by other trekkers that the Speedcross 3 was very narrow and would probably be less stable on the trail. I have found that being narrow allows the shoe to provide much less sidewise leverage should the heel or ball land off center on a small object and that a very light increase in pressure on the opposite pole completely stops the ankle twist. I can move through boulder gardens much faster with this shoe than others who are wearing traditional hiking shoes.

After racing two 50 milers and many training runs, these continue to be my go to shoe for longer than a 50k and for any race/run where conditions are sloppy.

I've only been running trails just under a year now and had been using my road shoes. I looked hard and came across the speedcross and couldn't pass up the deal (Thanks, BackCountry!). Luckily, thus far I cant imagine running in anything else. They provide the stability, traction, and control I need. I overpronate, but since I'm running on uneven surfaces, the neutral stance of the shoes provides enough control any affects I may have are minimal.
Pros: stable, great traction, great cushioning, cool color (bright yellow), good lateral support, laces cinch up well...still have to tighten at times--but no complaints yet, the removable insoles make cleaning the shoe a breeze...and help air out with a breeze, and good fit--I have 11.5, and tend to be a 11 and then some, and have worn as big as a 12 in my Mizuno's, but these offer plenty of room and good fit, and my toes don't slide forward...that's a good thing (got tired of blue-toes).
Cons: yellow gets really dirty quickly, the sole plate is not super-protective (but likely the way the shoe stays light and flexible over all terrain). I have run with them along side of train tracks where you run on the large gray gravel, and unless you stay forward or on the balls of your feet when you run your okay, but if you fall back on your heels the large rocks can strike you in the mid-foot, the lack of strength in the mid-foot can make you wince a little. All said, stay forward...better agility this way as well. The only other thing is these do not have any water-resistance (which I didn't expect since I didn't get the 3CS's), so know your feet will get damp if you hit the water or early morning run with wet grass.

Overall, I'm super impressed and looking forward to trying these out on a race one day...that's the goal. Thanks BC!

I have only ever had one other pair of trail running shoes and they never fit well and so it put me off trail running. However, recently I have been interested in trying it out again so I purchased these shoes. It really was breathe taking how comfortable and light weight they were as I ran, and as soon as I got done I couldn't wait to get them back on and use them again! For most my shoes I wear a 9.5 some brands I have to size up but these Salomons I didn't have to, 9.5 was a perfect fit! Highly recommend these trail running shoes!
