We test the Salomon Speedcross 6!
This year, sixteen years after the launch of the first Speedcross shoe, Salomon presents the Speedcross 6. We at skistarshop.com have of course tested the latest addition to the Speedcross family on the mountain's rocky trails and unpredictable surfaces.

About Salomon Speedcross 6
The Speedcross 6 is lighter and has more ground contact than its predecessors, but at the same time holds on to the classic roots. The renowned grip comes from an updated outsole with Y-shaped studs, which together with the light weight makes the shoe even faster in wet and muddy conditions.
The classic Speedcross comfort still holds up well. The shoe has a hugging upper that offers stability as well as functionality. The SensiFit construction makes the fit precise, while the EnergyCell+ midsole provides underfoot cushioning.
In terms of looks too, there's no mistaking the Speedcross 6 as another member of the Speedcross family. The tyre-like construction that inspired the very first model has become part of the shoe's DNA over time, and is also present in this new model.
Skistarshop.com tests the Speedcross 6
A bunch of us at skistarshop.com laced up the shoe and headed out for a test run on the mountain's challenging trails - a run where no one was left disappointed. Below you can read a selection of our opinions:
Louise, Content Editor:
"As a relative newcomer to trail running, the choice of footwear is something I put a lot of thought into. Being able to rely on factors such as grip and stability feels especially important when running environments are unfamiliar to me. The Speedcross 6 feels fast, robust and reliable. I notice it in the way it supports the foot but at the same time feels fast and unhindered when I run. Great job Salomon!"
Andrée, E-commerce Operations Manager:
"Salomon's Speedcross 5 has long been a favourite shoe when it comes to trail running, which of course made my expectations for the Speedcross 6 high! But they certainly live up to the hype - if anything, the grip feels even sharper and the shoe even lighter."
