Salomon Speedcross 6 review: what runners say
Fit
Narrow fit by trail standards: version 6 is wider than previous iterations, but internal volume remains low. One user reports slight heel movement.
Feel
Firm cushioning, stiff midsole feel. Responds well in corners and offers ground feel at the heel, but energy return is low.
Durability
Durability noted as a strong point. The rubber lugs, refined from version 3 to 6, hold up on mixed surfaces. Specific mileage not determinable from the corpus.
Best for
Technical trail, mud, gradients above 25%, wet grass. Overkill on compact dry dirt. Suited for heel strikers; not recommended for midfoot or forefoot strikers.
Weak points
Very poor breathability. Weight and stiffness in version 5 were recurring criticisms; version 6 improves on both fronts, but the midsole remains firm according to multiple sources.
