Salomon Women's Speedcross 5 Gore-Tex Waterproof Trail Running Shoes - Lightweight Hiking & Outdoor Adventure Footwear for Women - Perfect for Trail Running, Hiking and Mountain Climbing

Me gusta, tal como lo vi ese pedí, y eso me llego. graciasLoves the design and his materialThis is my first purchase of either a trail running shoe or the Salomon brand. I purchased them for hiking in the Teton mountain area. I was beyond impressed with these shoes!My first thought when trying them on were that they felt a little big. But when I put on my hiking socks and walked in them, they were actually spot on as far as size.They have "aggressive" treads on them. We did some hiking in rain/mud going over rocks and up and down hills. These shoes performed excellently. I never slipped.Speaking of wet and mud, I got pretty deep in some areas. In spite of the rain, my feet stayed dry and I was astonished that after nearly burying my foot in mud, after a quick walk through tall grass on the way back to the car there was virtually no mud on my shoes. The photos I'm sharing are AFTER wearing these shoes in two different mud situations and without any extra cleaning effort on my part aside from walking through grass. Very Impressed!Comfort is a big deal for me. I work on my feet and have had to have surgery in the past to relieve foot pain. I did not experience any pain from these shoes. They offered great support. I did not experience the muscle fatigue in my feet and legs that comes from compensating for ill-fitting shoes. My first impression, putting them on in my living room, was that they were not very cushioned. But out on the trails, I found them to be quite comfortable. The treads themselves seem to absorb much of the shock.I appreciate that this shoe is offered in a larger size. I searched several brands and there are very few that offer a Women's size 12. I've had to buy men's shoes in the past and it's hard when shopping online to know which men's size to try and they are, of course, styled toward men's fashion.Overall, these shoes far surpassed my expectations. Especially when the heavy rain started. Well worth the money spent.This is a comfortable shoe, protects your footNow 5th pair of Salomon trail running shoes and they’re my favorite? No break-in time, just put on and run! Rain, dirt, mud, all good!Truly couldn’t ask for better shoes.No break-in time necessary. Fits perfectly to size and so comfortable for hiking.These shoes are perfectMy old Speedcross 4s finally gave up the ghost after 3 years. They owed me nothing! So I decided to replace them and had a dilemma. New Speedcross 4s were available immediately but there was a wait on the Speedcross 5's I decided to wait for the new Speedcross 5s and I am so glad that I did. They are slightly wider and more padded than the Speedcross 4 and the extra comfort is truly amazing. I had to size up a 1/2 size to accommodate the narrow fit of the 4's and did the same for the 5's but it was not necessary. The 5's have the same amazing grip when running. Just back from a 10k across the Brecon Beacons and the shoes were so good I have been moved to write this review! I got the waterproof shoes as I hate wet feet, but there are pros and cons on waterproof v non-waterproof I suggest you go with whatever you prefer.This is the second pair of Salomon speedcross I have purchased. They are very comfortable and great for trails and hill walking too. Still to test out on a sogggy wet day but they look like they will stand the test, well made. I always go up half a size in trail shoes so the 5-5 fit me perfectI am normally a size 4 and bought a 4.5, this fits perfectly. I have only tried these so far on very wet grass so couldn't comment on other surfaces but I am impressed with them so far. The quick lace makes putting on and off very easy. I like the pocket to tuck in the lace strap.ExcellentProduct: I'm a fan of Salomon's equipment. These (epic) trail running shoes are: lightweight, great quality, water resistant and have proper grip. The tying mechanism is a nice touch too; keeps your shoes secured and it's time-efficient.I ran in -25 weather, through the woods post-snowfall, and didn't feel the cold nor did I falter to the terrain. I recommend warm socks too though :)Fit: Personally, it fits half a size too big compared to the norm. So if you're in-between size, scale down.Shipping : expeditious and well packaged.Photos: the running shot may be staged but the shoes are real!
