I purchased a pair back of these back in June 10, after running my first fell race in torrential rain with the (impressive) Nike Air Zoom, which are great in most conditions but being Gore-Tex (waterproof), the deep puddles of water went in over the top and didn’t come back out again! Listening to other more experienced fell runners these Solomon’s came out as favourites, and I’ve got to agree. They are so light yet so durable (reinforced in all the areas that matter), they grip & shed mud superbly and they are easy to get on & off with the unique fastening system. I’ve done several fell races in them now and always found them to be excellent be it through mud, down wet grass or wet tarmaced lanes.

Second pair for me now, they are so great - easy to put on and just run with a good grip yet feeling like youre in slippers. Great terrain response.

As a runner its very annoying when there is snow from november until march, cause running in snow in general runningshoes is not ideal. So i then bought the salomon speed cross 2 and it has been a dream since. They are very comfortable, easy to enter, they are very light and they give you a very solid grip when running i snow.

Have had the Salomon predecessor before this pair of shoes.
With this speed cross 2 i am even more happier. Entering the shoe is much easier wirth Speed Cross2. For 3 weeks now using them for: field hockey training on astro turf and playing golf. They have a terrific grip, very comfortable and are very light.
Absolute value for money; great investment.

I bought these shoes from here last winter and I can honestly say these are the comfiest shoes Ive ever bought. Admittedly I dont use these for fell running but Im on my feet all day and they are perfect for that. I have been walking and biking in these shoes and they give excellent grip even on wet ground. I cant recommend the salomon speedcross 2s enough and cant wait to get them in green!

The Speed Cross 2 is a great trail shoe with a slightly more aggressive tread which is great on wet surfaces and mud. I used to use the XA Pro 3D which I found a little bulky and heavier but the Speed Cross has been a great investment for me.

As a runner these shoes were bought for fast offroad work. I have had Salomon shoes before but with my last pair (XA) I found the tongue was irritating my shins whilst running. The tongue on the Speedcross 2 is much softer and no issues found. They are very comfortable, quite light and an eye-catching colour. Too late to try them in mud but they give very good grip on wet grass and general trails.
