Overview
Salomon’s Speedcross 5 is designed for runners who like to go fast on and off trails in tough conditions like mud and soft/wet terrain. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the performance of this quality running shoe with low-to-the-ground maneuverability and exceptional grip.
The sole of the Speedcross 5 has larger lugs with more space and an updated geometry, delivering better push-off and braking grip, in all surface conditions. The heel unit creates a cradle for your ankle, ensuring clean foot strike and stability through each stride. Its completely welded upper with dissociated Sensifit arms moves more naturally with your foot, and dials in the comfort.
The rebirth of Salomon’s legendary trail shoe promises good things to offroad runners everywhere!

Salomon Speedcross 5 is up for the test in 2019! US runner Seth James DeMoor put the shoe through several runs before giving his Youtube video comparison between the Salomon Speedcross 5 and the Salomon Speedcross 4. “At first, I did not fully realise the big differences between these two Salomon running shoes… the update is impressive! The upper, the outsole, and the heel collar are the three main updates that I focus on for this comparison between the Salomon Speedcross 4 and the Salomon Speedcross 5. Salomon is upping the game with this iteration of the Speedcross line-up.” Enjoy the video.
