jeremy kemlo Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 Just got a got a pair of the new Salomon supercross. https://www.salomon.com/en-us/shop/product/supercross.html#color=14678 For those of you who have tried the Salomon speedcross and thought, if they were just a little wider, then the supercross will be that shoe. The supercross has one of the widest toe boxes that I have seen on a Salomon shoe. I also like the tread pattern better. They have very grippy lugs that are v shaped and larger diameter than the speedcross. So if you have ripped the lugs off the speedcross and thought if they were a little bigger then they would hold up better, the supercross is your shoe. The supercross are also more flexible than the speedcross. The soles of the supercross feel softer than the speedcross yet still feel springy-more of a rebound effect. The rubber on the bottom of the sole feels soft and grips well on Concreete and Falt line. Supercross need no break in. So unless you have narrow feet the supercross shoes looks to be a great choice. They are also cheaper than the speedcross. If I could change one thing on the supercross and speedcross it would be to have a lower drop from heel to toe. Both are a 10mm drop. I would like it to be a 4mm drop but that’s me. One other thing. Since Solomons are usually on the narrow side I have ordered a half size larger. I am thinking that I will have to go back down to 11 1/2 for the Supercross as the size 12 Feels a little big. I know this is a newer line of salomon shoes but if anyone has any long-term Durability update I would love to hear it. I will also update after I use them for a while. Another shoe that looks interesting is the Saucony peregrine 10 ST. If anyone has tried that shoe and would like to give some feedback that would be great.

Chili Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 I wish they made more of these model in Goretex waterproof. A lot of our matches see the grass covered in dew in the morning and it's nice to keep the feet dry! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davsco Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 if they only had a MOTOCROSS model... i mean, that's what you want for OUTdoors. supercross is INdoors (well, mostly). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jowbow Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 Thanks for the review. I was looking for a good shoe recommendation, so I ordered a pair! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoyGlock Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 Got it awhile back. Now on my second pair. Much comfy than speedcross Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kryo Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 I've had my speedcross 5s since last April and use them for every match and every time I hit up the range. They are going strong and seem to have a lot more life left in them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PCKLST Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 I really like the Speedcross wide so may have to give these a try all of their standard (non-wide) models have been way to narrow for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got a pair shortly after this topic was posted. Was on sale so I figured I would try a pair even though I typically need a wide width. The shoe is wider than their regular shoe but it comes out to a normal medium width. Now if these came in a wide width they would be perfect. Haven’t been able to use them on the range yet due to the shutdown. Like the large knobby tread which aids in making them feel softer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shred Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 Are these long in the toe? I got some the same size as I wear in Speedcross and there's way more length in front. So much I'm wondering if I got a mislabeled pair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ordered a pair of Supercross and Speedcross when they were on clearance a couple weeks ago and ended up returning the Supercross because they were too big.

clw42 Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 I actually ended up getting a pair of Alphacross for $64 direct from Solomon. They have regular laces, but they fit well and for the money I thought it was a very good deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuey Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 I ended up with the SpeedCross. They fit me better. They both are good shoes, but it was all about the fit and comfort in the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speedcross for me is a size 12? purchased supercross in 12 and they are too long. Never even took the tags off. Should gave purchased 11.5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A little long but since it’s narrow for me, it should work okay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjb45 Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 Mine are on the way from REI. I am hoping for a bigger toe/width than my Speedcross. I have a pair of GORUCK boots which I like but not for shooting. For being an RO they are fantastic. The toe box is big to accommodate for your feet swelling. Comfortable all day long.

Desk-Jockey Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 Like the supercross too. Tread is very aggressive and great for off road. The tread will wear down fast on pavement though so be thoughtful if you want them to last. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kamber Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 (edited) Very familiar with Salomon products from deployement use and I'm a big fan. Just bought a fresh pair of Speedcross 5 Wide in 10.5, Speedcross 5 GTX in 11, and a pair of Supercross GTX in 10.5. Unfortunately, they don't make the Speedcross 5 GTX's in wide. Will comment on fit differences when I get them in. I plan on returning whichever GTX model fits worse. Edited April 24, 2020 by kamber Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
