SALOMON WILDCROSS 50 MILE SHOE REVIEW | Best Winter Trail Shoe? | Run4Adventure

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen and welcome to another Run4Adventure shoe review!
It's been quite a while since I've spent any time out on the trails in a Salomon trail running shoe so it was great to get my hands on a pair of their all new Wildcross!

The Wildcross is a super aggressive trail running shoe designed to handle technical, muddy, wet trails so perfect for a British summer! 😊

We've put 50 miles into the shoe on a mixture of terrain so sit back and see what we thought about this new grippy trail running shoe from Salomon.

Love the channel! Just recently got into running and all of my purchases have come after your reviews and info! Thanks so much!

Another excellent review, I am a big fan of Salomon stuff but yes its got its flaws and it is good that thing that you mention them in your review, like premature breaking in flex point. Wildcross seems like it is upgrading the Speedcross legacy. It is definitely worth checking out.thanks

[FWFWFWF]

Well done Lloyd, as always. I used to own the Speedcross 4 but found them just too narrow for me - hopefully the fit on these is a bit better.

[jeffloflin]

Very similar to the Salomon Xa pro v8 which is my favorite because it checks so many boxes and fits. The contragrip outsole which both models share is excellent. Great review!!

[alanwetherelt]

Another great review Loyd.. quality shoe, all them rabbit holes out on Mexico towans, have to keep my eyes pealed just walking out there . I'am sure you have run 1, 000s of miles over the towans .

[tymckeown]

Another great review Loyd, these look like a great pair of shoes for the winter cross country and it'll be nice to have a pair that don't split at the upper flex point 😀

[tednruth]

😂🤣hilarious outtakes. Quite partial to a bit of salomon, definitely consider these when my speed cross ware out!

[alexandreparadis]

Great review... but it cost me money! I was looking for a shoe like this one, so I just went and buy a pair! Thanks! I just can't wait for my next run.

[rolandschegg]

Great shoe - bought it based on this very video - and it works just great for me! (snow, mud... in Gore-Version) - yesss!

[georgeredbranch]

Great review. Only thing l don't like, but put up with, the bloody shoe lace system. I've had 2 different Salomon (Speedcross) where the laces snapped on me, once in the middle of a race, second time during a 5 day self support hike. Had they have used good old laces, would have been no problem. But like you said, " you either love them or hate them " (the laces)

[joaopaulooliveira]

Hi! Great video and review. In terms of sizing, I find that the Speed Cross needs to be 9.5 UK for me (I’m usually 9 UK). Would you say that for the Wild Cross I should stick with UK 9 or follow the Speed Cross sizing and get a 9.5 UK? I read that the Wild Cross is more true to size. It would be great to hear about your experience. Cheers!

It's a while since I ran in a Salomon shoe but have to say I am tempted by the Sense Ride 3. A certain Mr K Jornet says it's his go to shoe, so if it's good enough for him...

[Kelly_Ben]

This will be the first winter where I run outside in a very long time. I've been very nervous about getting the right shoe for snowy slushy icy conditions, as a nasty slip and fall is what stopped my winter running in the first place. These look promising! My speed cross are so narrow in the toe, I just wear them for casual wear now. Should probably sell them.

[hazza]

These look great, would you choose these or saucony peregrines for the winter of devon coastal trails? Thank you very much for the review.

[wesleybarnes]

I have a pair. They’re amazing, love these shoes! So stable. Accurate review. However, for durability, I did 35km, the left shoe sole started coming lose on the left where they bend, the toe rubber too. Returned for another pair, holding thumbs they keep up, else I will consider the Sense Pro 4.

[samphirekirby]

Fab review - I know it's not what it's designed for but how was it on tarmac? there always seems to be some to get through and I hate the Speedcross on wet tarmac, it's like ice skating!

[ryanlafferty]

Thanks for the effort Loyd, always enjoy the reviews! How do you think these would handle dry, rocky, technical ascents? I’m after a new shoe for mountain runs, but the talus around here (and my clumsy foot strikes) tends to tear off lugs in a hurry.

[Northernerdownsouth]

Great review as always. In terms of fit, where would you put it in comparison to the predict Ra?

[edwardmitchell]

Looking at these or the speed cross 5. I had the speed cross 4 however they were a little narrow. Need something aggressive for the UK mud. Are there any other similar shoes? Cheers

[adamandlorraine]

I love my speedcross 5, but now tend to prefer running in zero drop (Merrell trail glove 5). Are there any Salomon low drop? I like their cushioning as the Merrell get it a bit tough on the feet over 5km for me.
