GingerRunner.com reviews the Salomon Speedcross 3 trail running shoe. This is one bad-ass trail shoe. The shoe itself is extremely light, ruggedly built and durable. I wish the shoe was more minimal, and allowed for more flexibility in my natural running gait, it is my current rugged trail runner.
This pair was provided by Salomon for review.

After watching this review and reading dozens of others...I just broke down and got it. I am finding it a pretty impressive shoe, particularly because you can now get it for under $100. It is quite awesome in muddy conditions and grips well in most everything else. I would not recommend it for on-road to off-road running, but find it GREAT for trail work.
Bought a pair of these this week, only 3 years after you reviewed them. Sweet trail shoes !!
Bought this shoe and wore it in a Spartan Race last weekend. I couldn't have been more happy with the performance, especially on hilly/muddy terrain. Big fan now. I do agree with the shoe being narrow at the toes.
I picked up a pair of these a couple of weeks ago at an REI garage sale, and I love them. I'm not a road runner, but I'm getting into trail hiking via my love of hiking, so a non-minimalist, very structured shoe is very good for my style. Great review.
Here from the future - the 6 just came out and it kicks soooooo much ass.
I'm coming up on 400 miles with this shoe. I've ran one tough mudder and two spartan races. The shoe has held up surprisingly well. I wish the heel didn't have the huge drop. I love the colors and design (minus the 12 mm drop).
Best shoe I've owned to date. I have some wide-ass feet but somehow this shoe works for me. Comfort level is beyond what I expected.Thanks for the review
I live in Colorado and run on Pikes Peak with decomposed granite trails. This is by far my favorite trail shoe. It grips like no other and I never fear losing control over the side of the mountain. I've had no issues getting from the road to the trails. The lugs are soft and allow for brief pavement running. I have over 300 miles on my first pair and they have been retired for yard work.
Todd Short dejan ivanov have you run in yours on concrete instead of the trail? If so, how was the experience?
Fine on the road for short distance as far as stability; however, I wouldn't do long distance on concrete because it would eat the tread like I eat Jellybellys.
Interesting review since I've had the shoe for a couple of years now. I'm turning towards "minimalistic" running and this shoe feels wrong in that department but as you say it's really nice on some terrains.
I also definitely agree with that the front is too narrow and that the toebox just doesn't leave enough space. This kind of rugged shoe with the kind of material that they use on the outside, I think prevents the foot and toes from stretching out the material leading to more space in the front. So I've had some problems with it being too tight in the front, leading to pain.
It should probably get a 5 out of 5 for quality. Another nice feature with this shoe is how well it handles water and mud. After a run you can easily flush them clean with water and they dry up in an instance.
Have you had the same pair for a couple of years? Wondering how long they will last me if I'm doing casual on and off road running.
One of the best shoes in the market!!! Size run small, go half a size up
Can you do a review on the Speed Cross 4 GTX please?
Northern Ninja Runner or the 5 now
Hey GingerRunner.Great review.Bought the shoes and love them in Canada's rough winter season. Might have liked to hear you speak about lacing system (unikk),front shoe sealed from water and mud and I totaly agree with Guillermo below.If you buy on line absolutely must go half a size up.Keep up the reviews,your one of the best on YT.
Great review. Is this also recommended for everyday use around the suburbs?tnx
The grip sole looks like a beast. The rubber protection is a terrific design. I don't care for the color...are there other colors? Heel drop is thick for the heel-to-toe runner, I'd imagine. Too narrow. I love wide toeboxes and wide shoes in general. Can't take away from the score due to its beefy build, because it is a light running boot as you mentioned.
@jeffdustin the heeldrop is actually only 9mm not 12mm, the speedcross 2's were a 12mm.
BOUGHT THESE. THANKS, GINGER!
Have you tested the nee Speedcross 6? They blow all previous gens out in comfort and grip. Been a Speedcross fan and wearer for years.
Yeah, super happy you mentioned how narrow it is. I just got a pair... I have big ogre feet but damn.
Most entertaining shoe reviews I've ever watched.
Subed!
Just ordered a pair. Hoping that i love it like my previous salomons and order another pair
Great review. What a hoot! "Party hardest!" :-) Going to check these out... have always been a Salomon fan. Saucony doesn't seem to be producing aggressive trail shoes - I have a Saucony-shaped foot, so I guess we shall see!
Considering getting one cause they are on 50% sale this week. How does this hold up getting river dipped? Im concerned with the rubber soles coming off from regular moist exposure. Tight on the budget and i think these are amazingly nice to look and wear, but i hope they stick around longer on my shoe rack. These would be my first trail shoes.
Just purchased this shoe 5/2/12. very aggressive! I would like Salomon to design this very shoe in a 4 mm drop if possible.
Hey @TheGingerRunner, have you had a chance to run in the Speedcross 4 yet? I'm eager to hear your thoughts. My favorite shoes of all time are the Sense Pro and after I watched that you loved them too, I figured your taste is pretty trustworthy! ;-)
the shoe is good for snow, and muddy trails
Great review man, really informative. I really liked the Speedcross 2 and I'm thinking of getting the successor. One thing though, maybe I should get a pair of shoes that can handle different terrains better; the sole of the Speedcross is made of rather soft rubber and I always had a guilty conscience while on asphalt because I was worried that it'll wear off really fast (and it felt like it too). Do you think the Sense Mantra would be a better choice?
I have run in Salomons and I have to say: I hate the lacing system. I can never make it stay as snugged as I demand and have torn it out to replace it with 1.5mm cord to tie in a basic bow.
I also found their toe box to be too narrow. If my current model (XA COMP 7) weren't being used as backpacking shoes I wouldn't have them at all. Switching, for trail running, to something else.
You've reviewed the Pearl Izumi N1 trail in the past. I have both the N1 and N2, and am considering the Salomon Speedcross 3, how would you say the Pearls and Salomons compare in, mostly fit, but performance as well. One thing I have noticed with the Pearls, is the sole does not last particularly long. Thank You!!!
How did they do on wet rocks and such?
And have you thought about doing any reviews on the Inov-8s? Great great shoes!
Hmm, not sure if I should get the Goretex one or normal one!
I really hope you can make a review about scott supertrac rc shoes.
Any idea how well this shoe holds up in the gym? Thank you 🤞
do you feel a lot of rocks and gravel on the fore front of the foot? look like the only cushion is on the heel? my feet are kinda sensitive.. so?
well i ran a 45km straight on trails and the threads just got destroyed, i was runnign on hardpack and the shoe didnt like that
You are looking for the Fellcross.
I'm crazy about buying this in Brazil. But it's really, really hard. Hard to find some colors, the climashield version, and when you find, hard to pay. More than twice expensive than in US, something like 280 usd. Someone has any tip, hint to buy this by here?
Estou louco pra comprar esse tênis no Brasil. Mas é muito difícil. Difícil pra achar algumas cores, a versão climashield, e quando encontra, é difícil de pagar. Mais do que o dobro nos EUA, algo em torno dos 600 reais. Alguém tem alguma dica pra comprar por aqui mais em conta?
Speedcross3 or fellraiser? the best is ?
thx
Will it be slippery on a large wet rock?
how about 2016?,is it still good compered to other similar shoes today?
just bought a pair today
Are they good for running on sand?
Do you know the heel drop? I am pretty used to zero to 4mm, just wanted to know what it might be feeling like, looks like a beefy heel....
12mm. look for the salomon sense mantra
how does sizing run?
Are these kind of shoes good for casual wear as well? Or should i be looking for ones that dont have the giant lugs on the bottom? I really like this look of shoe, and im tired of going through standard tennis shoes every few months.
For me Salomon shoes are too flashy for causal wear. You'd look like a Christmas tree. But hey, it's only my opinion. Cheers
wearing the lugs on hard surfaces will wear them out really quickly. it is not meant to be a casual shoe. you will be tossing out 120.00 if you buy them to wear around town because the tread will adios in no time.
Pretty sure the Speedcross 4 is nearly the same..... right?
minimal? try vibram 5 fingers?
Can they be used in the winter (wisconsin snow) or would it be too cold?
+DurpenHeimer I just bought these for winter running (I'm in Canada)
Check out the speed cross 3 cs version. Better insulation.
Ohh i agree mr ginger runner. Hehe I just done a review of this shoe on my channel! I live it! Pop on over to see my other trail shoe reviews :)
How times change. He said that he is looking for more of a minimalist shoe, but now runs in Hoka One One's. Complete opposite.
evlsv620 I run in many shoes, a lot of which are zero drop, not necessarily max cushioned or minimalist. A lot has changed in the shoe industry and manufacturing practices since 2012 :)
What is the color name if someone can tell me please thanks
+Oz Zapata Gecko green I think
Got them does the job of walking ;)
how does it do on grassy terrain?
great because of the large lugs
Why do people pronounce it "Solomon"? Shouldn't it be Sa-lo-mon?
+JustifyJustin Because it's French.
Scored them for 64$ Gortex
running is a sport.
Pillow factory....really?! 😂

You look tired my friend
You, sir, have a weird sense of style...asian anime style perhaps? This is an odd shoe...I don't liek it.
