Review on Enhanced Performance: Salomon SPEEDCROSS 5 GTX πŸƒ Women's Trail Running Shoes for Excellent Trail Running Experience by John Boyce

Revainrating 5 out of 5

If you have narrow heels, these shoes are NOT for you!

I don't like writing negative reviews but I will write one to warn anyone with 'ugly' feet like mine. If you have narrow heels and a wide forefoot, these shoes are *not* for you! I bought this shoe after colleagues loved it. I very much regret this. The shoes are almost rectangular so if your heel is about the same width as the toe box you will be fine but my heel slips everywhere. I tried wearing double socks but it pinched my forefoot in the toe box (and my heels were still slipping). There is no extra hole pre-punched to change the laces to prevent heel slippage. The bow doesn't suit me either. I have low, short arches and the support in these shoes was too much for me and they hit the heel too hard rather than the arch. I've tried snapping them in hopes that they would slip less after breaking in, but that's worse (and now I can't get them back, ugh!). $150 wasted. If you have narrow heels and low arches these shoes are not for you!

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • Band
