Willz Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 I like the Speedcross but I'm less than impressed with the tread life. My current pair I've worn since Jan 2015. The soles are nearly slick now. I made it a point only to wear them at matches. I'm still leaning toward full cleats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jellyb Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 (edited) They are like football cleats but with comfort sneaker feel to them. Also, check Inov-8 Mudclaws are very nice. Edited January 5, 2016 by jellyb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Novock Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 comfortable, and great traction. Hard to be fast on a big stage if you cant get footing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathanb Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Finally broke down and got s pair. I have to say I'm impressed with the comfort level Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FULLMETAL Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Wish they would make a wider option Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msrkydex Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 I can tell you this. I broke my pinky toe yesterday. Was able to shoot a 6 stage uspsa match with no problems. The moment I took em off I could hardly walk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradsteimel Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 I had a pair and promptly sold them. Granted, they are light weight... but they are definitely very narrow. You may get buy with buying a larger size to accommodate a wide foot, but my problem with them was the spikes were just not aggressive enough... especially when you compete in loose sand (Florida) or in muddy conditions. Rubber football spikes are better for these conditions. But, i will say, for stages on wooden platforms that might be wet/damp, those rubber soles definitely give more traction than my football spikes!!

polymerfeelsweirdman Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 I've worn mine in the desert, in the mud, in the snow, in the rain, you get the idea. They actually make for really good cold weather shoes. They are a purchase I have never regretted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilkMyDuds Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Last month I bought a pair of Inov8 RockLite 295 standard fit (their "precision fit" is the standard width, and "standard fit" is 2E) and could not be happier. After 8 hours at the range, my bunion don't feel a thing. Great traction on all surfaces. My 2 pairs of SpeedCross and 1 pair of FellRaiser now sit in the garage collecting dust. If anyone interested, I can sell them to you, all in size 9, barely worn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbopower18 Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Every shoe manufacturer usually stops at sz14 which is bad luck for me so i wear Nike cleats. After a few times of almost busting my ass on dew covered grass i had to get some traction! Solomans are popular whith my local guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidwiz Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 i'm going to be a contraian and say that I have had a bad experience with my Salomon boots - the treads dry-rotted and their customer service dept has been giving me the run-around - told me to email pics to a specific email address which bounced as not valid. IMHO, the Inov-8 Mud Claws are waaay better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polymerfeelsweirdman Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 What I'd really like is just to have some flat black or sneaker type colors like white with red accents rather than the crazy colors these types of shoes come in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foxbat Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 Just had my latest pair on stretchers for two weeks. Yes, I now, nylon does not stretch as well as leather, but it DOES stretch, and the difference is really nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MRBACKHAND Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 check out Amazon for the best price. i picked up a few pairs of the X ultra 2 for $75 each. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sam_b Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 I never could get salomons to fit right, I ended up using Altra lone peaks which have a wider toe box for a more natural foot shape. They are a full mesh upper so they dry quick but sand and dust can get in and make your socks/feet dirty but that's a trade off I don't really mind. I really like them for hiking, and shooting. SO much that I have been wearing them almost on a daily basis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CTJer Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 Decided to give the Speedcross a try. Very impressed so far after a month of use. I needed some footwear and I'm picky about my feet. These things are damn comfortable and get some good traction. I can see why they are so popular in the sport........even though i only see a handful of guys wearing them at my local matches.

CTD_P2A Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 After finding several pairs of North Face's version of waterproof, easy clean,trail running shoes for under $100, I can't justify spending money on the Solomons anymore. The cheap Solomons feel cheap and there are plenty of other options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

v1911 Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 (edited) I picked up some speedcross 4 for $75 off of amazon last week. Edited July 10, 2017 by v1911 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oddjob Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 I paid $80 for a pair off Amazon. I wore the Speedcross 4 for the first time this last Sunday. Wow..... Very comfortable. My feet were not sore and they actually felt decent. My Nike football cleats are now a backup pair of shooting shoes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More comfortable to a foot that's halfway between D and E widths than (I'm "semi wide" if that's a thing)... And they come in plain ol' gray. There are two colors to choose from on that site. Terrific traction for the price and they run true to size. Edited July 11, 2017 by MemphisMechanic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those look pretty good I have also looked at the asics online and they seem nice too Next pair I get might have to be speedcross 4 goretex though, it seems like they fixed all the things I dislike (and my range always gets disgustingly muddy) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
