Nickb45 Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 I just got a pair of Speedcross 3's in the mail on Monday. Dry fire went good in them all week. Live fire practice went good today, a lot less slip on gravel when trying to leave a position and they planted really good when I stopped in a position. I will see how they do tomorrow at a match. They are by far the most comfortable shoes I have worn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeerBaron Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 Btw the adidas kanadia tr7 are on sale atm on Amazon. About $40 a pair in most common sizes. I already have 2 pairs but might buy a third. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosiershooter Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 I just bought 2 pair of speedcross'. One from Aliexpress and one authentic. It will interesting to see the difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeviSS Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 I just got a pair of kanadias. I wear EE in New Balance and Merrell, but I thought I'd give the standard width kanadias a try. I think they're going to work so far as long as I don't lace them too tight. They look good and have a pretty aggressive tread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
e-mishka Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 (edited) Wore kanadias to the match today. A bit of rain in the morning. Worked great on muddy grass and gravel. Feet did not hurt after 6 hours wearing those shoes. Ill see how they perform at area 5 Edited August 24, 2015 by e-mishka Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EngelMacher Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 My speedcross 3s probably wont bump me to GM, but I feel WAY safer when stopping hard on worn out gravel. I'd always slide a little bit or lose my footing with my Merrils, but the Salomons stay planted a bit better. Plus, I loved the speedlace system so much, I chucked my old everyday shoes for a nice green pair of XA 3D Ultra 2s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BMaus Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 (edited) And they are getting cheaper ($9 pair) http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/172002858344?_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649&var=470880877028&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT Pretty sure they are replicas tho. 3 pairs on the way (to compliment my genuine SC3 CS) Edited November 19, 2015 by BMaus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeerBaron Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 At $9 inc postage they would most certainly be replicas but more likely a scam. Plenty of guys with their $20-$40 Ali express versions never had anything show up. Personally when the genuine ones can be had under $100 that's enough for me. I don't need a dozen pairs. To be honest the sc3s offer great traction on grass but for I much prefer the adidas kanadia tr7s. Got those on sale at a local store for something like $50. They are much more comfortable for all day wear. Excellent grip in mud etc but still great on wood or concrete. For anything not too slippery I prefer even more my Nike air Pegasus 29+ Trail. They are still trail shoes so still have deep tread but much better all round support. The sad part is Nike don't seem to be making trail shoes now. I'd say the speedcross are the best shoe to have on in about 20% of conditions. The nikes the best in 30% and the adidas in 50%. For certain conditions speedcross are awesome but the kanadia tr7 cover a much wider set of surfaces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BMaus Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 (edited) Ebay has pulled the $9 listing. There is also a similar $16 listing that will probably get pulled soon. Sorry about that guys. Seems to be a few other sellers with what looks like 'genuine' replicas for about AU$40 plus AU$25 postage. The TR7 have a good soul but the colours are boring. Have you seen anything similar but brighter BB ? . Edited November 22, 2015 by BMaus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dansedgli Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 I bought the salomon speedcross pros to replace my worn out regular ones after having a fall. They feel good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeerBaron Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 (edited) Well to be honest the colour schemes were not a high priority but for the more fashion forward types bmaus, you can order a kanadia tr7 in basically any colour and pattern you like. You could make a one off pair. http://www.adidas.com/us/mi-kanadia-tr-7-custom-shoes/4001317_M.html#is_configurator Dan: the speedcross pros look like they might be a bit more versatile than the sc3. I rarely use my sc3s. Edited November 23, 2015 by BeerBaron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike821504 Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 (edited) Kind of an FYI, the Speedcross 3 CS is running $81 and the regular Speedcross 3 in blue/yellow is $75 at Amazon right now......

aandabooks Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 I tried on the Salomons and they are way too narrow for my foot. Just ordered a pair of New Balance Trail shoes. At least I know now that Salomons are not for me so I can quit thinking about whether to spend the money on them. In New Balance I normally buy a 4E but decided on the 2E since they won't be everyday shoes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daft Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 online sale today, cyber monday, their website. I like the way the dirt looks after a few people trump around, looks like a bird conference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davsco Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 yeah even the one model of salomons that are designed as 'wide' were way to narrow for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeviSS Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 yeah even the one model of salomons that are designed as 'wide' were way to narrow for me. Me too. I think we need to email them and suggest they start making wide sizes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rowdyb Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 Any good indoor shoes? on smooth concrete? I have found indoor soccer shoes to be the best here. And I've also taken a can of hair spray to the match and hit the bottom of my shoes with some aqua net right before I shot as well. I looked at indoor court shoes for various sports. Basketball, badminton, indoor volleyball, hockey, soccer, racquetball and so on. Indoor soccer shoes seemed the best all around and the easiest to find at a brick and mortar store near me. I also don't wear them anywhere but at matches. So I never walk in oil or antifreeze or whatever in a parking lot. I've fallen flat on my face running at an indoor match on concrete and I never want to do that again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zzw26n Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 Thank you Rowdy for the insight. I'll give indoor soccer shoes a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirtchevy841 Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 I tell you what I wore my nikes for awhile and was hesitant on spending the money on a pair. I finally broke down and bought a pair. So comfortable and traction is great. Salomon great shoe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
