Obstacle Mud Runner - issue 20

12 Salomon Speedcross 6 I highly rate the Salomon Speedcross 6 trail running shoe. It continues to offer excellent grip, comfort, and durability as the Speedcross range always has done. One of the standout features of the Speedcross 6 is its aggressive outsole, which is designed with deep 5mm lugs to provide maximum traction on a variety of terrains, including mud, rocks, and loose dirt. The lugs are designed to be wide enough to prevent dirt and debris from clogging the sole, ensuring consistent traction throughout your run. In terms of comfort, the Speedcross 6 has a plush cushioned midsole that provides a responsive and supportive ride. The midsole also has a flexible design that allows the shoe to bend and move with your foot, reducing the risk of injury. Additionally, the upper is made from a breathable mesh material that helps keep your feet cool and dry on hot and humid days. I can’t wait for warmer days to come! It’s fair to say we commonly encounter water obstacles during an Obstacle Course Race, and nobody wants to be running with a squelch on every stride, so these are non-waterproof and intended to let any water that gets in, get out again. When it comes to durability, the Speedcross 6 is built to last. The upper is made from a tough, abrasionresistant material that can withstand the wear and tear of demanding trail runs, with anti-debris mesh that stops debris getting in and the outsole is designed to provide long-lasting traction. The classic Quicklace fastening creates a single handed one-pull tightening meaning you’re ready to go in a flash! In conclusion, the Salomon Speedcross 6 is a topperforming trail running shoe. Whether you’re a seasoned trail runner or just starting out, this shoe will provide you with the grip, comfort, and durability you need to tackle any terrain with confidence. I tested these on 3 x 5km trail runs and 3 x 10km runs in varied conditions and they didn’t disappoint. For more details go to https://www.salomon.com REVIEW : Salomon Reviewed by Donna Jenner-Hall
