Decision. And not to be elitist about it. Are you out to run some trails or be a trail runner? Speedcross calls the question as it commands Earth, wind and water to do its bidding. Not an overstatement as Active Junky found unstable steeps, broken breezy ridges and mud holes were causes for – acceleration: Walk past this 30mm/20mm midsole height Salomon model if leisurely miles are the goal. Pro plants the flag with every step in marginal conditions while making easy trails, well, boring. More cushioned than expected, the shoe’s tendency to heat up is notable even in cooler conditions. The antidote is simple. Find some water and plow through it. Bonus points awarded to this Contagrip-outsoled model for smooth-cruising welded seams, friction-free eyelets and one of the smartest lace tensioning toggles we’ve seen (aka quicklace).
