Jesus Christ !!!!!! This is the craziest review on you tube... It's wildest! After all this roller coaster ride, your analysis is worthwhile!!! Thoroughly enjoyed the video.. Kudos🎉!!!
I bought a pair of speed cross 4 about 2 weeks ago. They felt good in the store but were very uncomfortable in the toe box on my first run/ hike. I soaked them in hog water, put them on and laced them tight, and then walked about 5miles on the treadmill before letting them dry. Now they fit like a glove.
Dude! What an epic video! Music was epic and great edit! This video makes me want to do a few things: A- travel to Ireland B- buy running shoes C- start running D- Buy a GoPro Hero 9
Don’t know why I’m watching a video about running shoes, not something I’m interested in. Guess your videos are just so good, could be a review of a brick and I’d find the video interesting. Love the drone shots
I've run in speedcross 4's and 5's for the past 4 years. Just ordered a pair of the wildcross gtx! Great video! I run trails in New Hampshire. Can't wait to get them in.
Looking forward to your feedback! I have run SpeedCross also for many years now. Wondering if WildCross or other Salomons have the same or even better comfort. My only issue with the SpeedCross is the wear out of the soutsole...
I've had speedcross 4's for ages, but I'm on a pretty strict training course for the Excalibur marathon at Moel Famau if you know that one... You sold me the wildcross haha
Can you run on the road in these shoes? I have some trails near me but would have to go about 3miles to get there. Also, if I didnt fancy a trail run could I get away with these on a road?
Have you ever tried On shoes? I just got the trail waterproof ones and they are waterproof but not gore tex so the water gets out much quicker. But I have to do what you did and go for a muddy wet run. That looked so much fun. Thanks for sharing.
I haven't no. I wear non-goretex shoes in summer, but in winter my feet are freezing in them. The Gore Tex traps the water that gets in, it heats up and feet stay warmish.
Thanks - didnt know about that shoe as much prefer a wider toe box. Your slo mo is awesome - mine pixelates when I slo it down. 1080 120fps GP7 - is that the right setting? Maybe dull light conditions.
ooh man 😀 after soaking up the she's in all possible variations of water and dust no and grated would help you to keep your feet dry >] by the way what a nice easy 5 miles run ... Irish people are crazy 😀
What are your opinions on the quick laces? I’m a bit skeptical as I’m used to old school laces. I have a pair of boots with the quick laces and I’m worried they aren’t beefy enough for trails
Hi Stephen, just come across your great video. I have a couple pairs of SC4 GTX and have to size up from a UK 8 to a UK 9 to find the right fit. Interested in getting a non-GTX version of the SC5 or the Wildcross. Are they sized the same? Do you think I would need to size up to a UK9 if the toe box is much bigger? Cheers, Kev
I was grinning throughout this. I have wide feet and the women's SC wide are too narrow. Perhaps I'll try the men's Wildcross to see if they're any better.
Haha thanks Kat 🙂 These are definitely wider than the Speedcross, I used to get pinching after longer distance. Not any more, love running in them! I think there’s women’s Wildcross too, although half the time that just means different colours
That was a far better video than I was expecting. I thought I had seen mud in my runs this winter. Oh no, southern England mud is no match for what you have there.
@@StephenJReid thanks and I didn't mean to sound negative about my expectations, just was expecting a usual sit down and waffle shoe video. This was an awesome test and vlog.
Great video ,how do you find the shoes size wise I find my Salomon boots on the smaller side I need a larger size ,would you say this was the same for these or are they a true fit Cheers Darren👍
In what way? More or less? They feel a similar thickness. Not a huge lot, but I like the ground feel. Paranoid I’ll go over on my ankles on a really padded shoe
@@StephenJReid I have wide feet so didn’t get on with speedcross. Plus they also hurt after a few miles as they didn’t have too much cushioning. I think the bogs and water was a real test for your shoes though
These are much wider. Furtherest on a hard surface I’ve tried so far was 8.5miles with no issues. But yeah not the most padded. More suited to off trail
думаю оба варианта ту плохо работают. вода через верх заливается, ноги мокрые. СпидКросс вообще лучше для зимы... или я не прав, подскажите, кто в теме плз.
I'm not a runner, this video was epic. Beautiful scenery! Watched because I was interested in the shoes... Stayed for the scenery 😎
Thanks Robert. I love that route, it’s got everything in 7miles. Shoes still going strong by the way!
Get involved runnings for everyone and makes you feel so good

Haha, thanks Steve! Start working on that list!
The colours, the music, the humour... I love this! Only came for the review, but I think I'll stay. +1 sub
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it 😁😁😁

Haha, thanks David. Some day I'll review a brick. Oh actually that's a great idea.
I've run in speedcross 4's and 5's for the past 4 years. Just ordered a pair of the wildcross gtx! Great video! I run trails in New Hampshire. Can't wait to get them in.
Still my favourite trail shoes! 🙂

Sounds daft, but the wildcross now look more like a trail running shoe, wider toe box, better grip pattern etc..
Nice video mate
That’s a good point! Although as someone pointed out, a narrower toe can mean more grip on some climbs as it digs in easier. Depends on surface
Love your videos mate looks like you had amazing fun
Thanks! 🙂 Love that route, it's such a fun one.
I actually came here wondering whether to buy wildcross or stick with speedcross, left ordering wildcross with a new favourite running channel 😂 👍 👟
Thanks Mark! The Wildcross are great, my favourite trail shoes I’ve worn so far.
I've had speedcross 4's for ages, but I'm on a pretty strict training course for the Excalibur marathon at Moel Famau if you know that one... You sold me the wildcross haha
Loved that! Great vid Stephen.
Thank you!
Love this video from South Korea
Hey there! Glad you liked the video. South Korea? I love Kimchi btw 😁
I’m sorry but this review is amazing…I just kept getting Braveheart vibes! I was waiting for him to pull out a long sword! 💪
Haha! Thanks! FREEEEDOM!!
Such bizarre terrain but gorgeous. Well done gents!
Thanks Jeff. Was it the summit you found bizarre? Like the moon
The amount of water, mush, mud and gorgeous landscape. I would need a pack mule, nurse and flare gun..ha. great film!
@@jeffloflin6316 haha, it’s a lot squeezed into a very small area. Maybe I should get a flare gun 😂
Omg the muddy bog areas. Like something out of The Princess Bride.
So much mud!!!
Can you run on the road in these shoes? I have some trails near me but would have to go about 3miles to get there. Also, if I didnt fancy a trail run could I get away with these on a road?
I’ve run on road a bit in them, entirely possible but not as comfortable as proper road running shoes.
Have you ever tried On shoes? I just got the trail waterproof ones and they are waterproof but not gore tex so the water gets out much quicker. But I have to do what you did and go for a muddy wet run. That looked so much fun. Thanks for sharing.

thanks! Hmm I thought mine did look pixelated! I find it looks better in brighter conditions though
ooh man 😀 after soaking up the she's in all possible variations of water and dust no and grated would help you to keep your feet dry >]
by the way what a nice easy 5 miles run ... Irish people are crazy 😀
Just a wee casual run😂 Although I’m not Scottish, this is Northern Ireland. 😁
That looks like a fun run! 🤣
Oh yeah, it is!
Duro¡¡👍😎Sigan así, buen contenido
¡Gracias! 🙂
@@StephenJReid no hay de qué. Hi from Dominican Republic🇩🇴☀️🌴
🙂 Hello Greico in 🇩🇴!
@@StephenJReid YESS. Soon I want to buy a Gopro, at least the hero7. To give my content a leap in quality. Gracias por los videos de Rnning.
Hope you can compare Wildcross and Speedcross 6 (wide). Thanks!
great footage!
What are your opinions on the quick laces? I’m a bit skeptical as I’m used to old school laces. I have a pair of boots with the quick laces and I’m worried they aren’t beefy enough for trails
I’ve worn holes in shoes with quick laces and the quick laces still worked
Salomon needs to add a rock plate to their speed cross
Would be useful in some places but would add weight too. I wear different shoes in more rocky areas.
Hi Stephen, just come across your great video. I have a couple pairs of SC4 GTX and have to size up from a UK 8 to a UK 9 to find the right fit. Interested in getting a non-GTX version of the SC5 or the Wildcross. Are they sized the same? Do you think I would need to size up to a UK9 if the toe box is much bigger? Cheers, Kev
I feel like the Wildcross is sized larger, my normal size was perfect in it. But everyone is different. Quite often I order two sizes and return.
I was grinning throughout this. I have wide feet and the women's SC wide are too narrow. Perhaps I'll try the men's Wildcross to see if they're any better.
Haha thanks Kat 🙂 These are definitely wider than the Speedcross, I used to get pinching after longer distance. Not any more, love running in them! I think there’s women’s Wildcross too, although half the time that just means different colours
Looks like awesome fun! Looks like epic terrain to run around barefoot
Hmmm not sure I'd fancy it in bare feet, too much barbed wire and spiky plants 😂
@@StephenJReid yikes barbed wire?!
Thats real mud! 😂💪
yup! mud mud mud
Do you think that I can use them for Spartan race and for hiking for El Camino?
What kind of socks should I wear for a summer hike? Specific brand?
I wear thin socks made of merino wool in the summer. Not overly fussed on brand, but decent socks are worth the investment
I use my speed cross for running and hiking, what do you wear in the more rocky terraines
Hoka Speedgoats are my go to for rocky ground
That was a far better video than I was expecting. I thought I had seen mud in my runs this winter. Oh no, southern England mud is no match for what you have there.
Haha thanks, this is definitely one of the muddier routes I would run. Antrim hills are very boggy.
@@StephenJReid thanks and I didn't mean to sound negative about my expectations, just was expecting a usual sit down and waffle shoe video. This was an awesome test and vlog.
Great video ,how do you find the shoes size wise I find my Salomon boots on the smaller side I need a larger size ,would you say this was the same for these or are they a true fit Cheers Darren👍
Thanks Darren. I went up a half size in these as I wear thicker socks in winter and seems to be perfect.
@@StephenJReid Cheers thanks for the advice 👌
👍
What camera and tripod are you using for these shots?
GoPro Hero9, GoPro Shorty handle
You have ankles of steel, and way to much fun for an adult.
My physio would disagree 🤣
Do you think if there is an important diference between sc5 gtx against non gtx
Yeah, the GTX ones are waterproof. Keeps them warmer in the winter. Even if water gets in over the top, it warms up and stops my feet going numb.
Has the cushioning improved. Never liked that about speedcross
In what way? More or less? They feel a similar thickness. Not a huge lot, but I like the ground feel. Paranoid I’ll go over on my ankles on a really padded shoe

Would anyone recommend the WildCross 2 for Swim Run? Do they drain water well?
Gopro8??
Hero 9

Boggin after that
Sure I rinsed off in the river 😂
@@StephenJReid boggin then foundered
If you’re cold you’re not running hard enough 😂
@@StephenJReid i only run from the peelers
nice sir
Thankye
Mate those shoes are useless on Trotstan. Wellies only
Haha, you try running in Wellies!
Is this place even on earth?
It's the moon! 😂😂
Trotstan is THE worst hill in all N. Ireland. Sad as its the highest in Glen's of Antrim but is poor ground
Define worst? I actually quite like Trostan. I think Angnews hill is worse, caused me a lot more grief anyway 😂
These shoes are a waste of money. I have regular shaped feet. After 35 kl in 2 sessions my big toes
