As a regular enthusiast of off road running over the years, I felt I needed to trial the
salomon speedcross 3 mens trail running shoes we had now started stocking. Usually I don't need much wearing in of shoes, and these with their nice soft fitting uppers were no exception.The Salomon Speedcross is a fairly low profile dedicated trail shoe, with what I considered enough grip to keep me upright on steep and muddy trails but also some cushioning to cope with harder packed firm based trails like forestry tracks or the firmer paths of our local Pentland Hills just outside Edinburgh where I run regularly.I spent a couple of days walking around in them to get a feel for the fit. The quick pull lacing system I had not used for a while, but once mastered again enabled me to easily pull laces tight to feel my foot was held well in place and wasn't going to slip from side to side on uneven ground. The heel fit was good even though I had gone for a half size bigger than I take on some shoes in expectation of the longer training runs and races I had hoped to do in the coming weeks and months.A few days break in the Highlands was ideal time to test them out, and satisfied from my walking around in them, I set off from Killin village in Perthshire. On a damp winter'safternoon in search of the forest trails above the village on the Lochearn side of the glen. As I steadily gained height through the pine forest I deliberately meandered up the trail, running not just on the hard packed tyre track sections but also the grassy and mossy central divide and the verges, both of which were soft and in places soggy after the recent few days rain. The grip seemed fine and although there was an abundance of them, I felt no effects of loose stones or pebbles digging into the balls of my feet, which is such a feature of Highland trail running.
