Salomon Speedcross 6 GTX Trail Running Shoe - Women's Black/Black/Phantom, US 8.0/UK 6.5

What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"I put the Speedcross 6 GTX through a full Pacific Northwest winter of Saturday morning trail runs, and the GORE-TEX membrane kept my feet bone dry through creek crossings and hours of steady rain. The Mud contaGRIP outsole is legitimately impressive on soft, saturated ground where most shoes spin out, and the single-pull quickLACE system means I am out the door and moving in about ten seconds."The trail is ankle-deep in mud, the rain is coming sideways, and you are still moving. That is exactly the scenario the Salomon Speedcross 6 GTX Trail Running Shoe was designed for. This shoe has a legitimate legacy in technical trail running, and this iteration builds on that reputation with a lighter construction, faster mud evacuation from the outsole, and a GORE-TEX membrane that keeps water out without trapping heat. Underfoot, the EnergyCell+ midsole delivers a lively, responsive feel with enough cushioning to take the edge off rocky sections without making the shoe feel sluggish. The Mud contaGRIP rubber outsole features deep, sharp 5mm lugs engineered specifically for soft, loose, and saturated terrain, biting into the ground and releasing cleanly so mud does not build up and kill your traction mid-stride. Sensifit construction wraps the upper around the foot for a precise, locked-in hold, and the anti-debris mesh keeps grit and trail debris out of the shoe where it has no business being. When conditions are at their worst, the Speedcross 6 GTX is at its best.
