👟 Salomon Women's Speedcross Running Shoes in Phantom - Ideal for Athletic Women Review

So if I want to address the comments I've seen regarding the size first. I have size 7 shoes and I have size 7 in these shoes. Maybe I could go 1/2 down but I thought the size I got was great. The sensations seemed heavenly. I sincerely regret not having found them before purchasing another brand a week or two earlier. I walk this mountain trail every week and I have never slipped in these boots. I really don't think you will be disappointed.

I was very disappointed when I received the shoes and found that the size on the packaging did not match the size chart provided by Revain. Unfortunately I just moved to Hawaii and live in a hotel without a car (military family) so there is no way for me to just send them back. It's a shame because I was really looking forward to wearing these shoes as they come highly recommended by local tourists here in Oahu Hawaii. I am attaching photos and screenshots of the size deviation. I sculpted…

I was so excited to receive these shoes. I regularly run Salomons and ordered these because I wanted a waterproof option for winter. When they arrived I couldn't find anything on the shoes or the packaging that said it was goretex. I searched for the shoes on the Salomon website and was able to zoom in far enough to see that the shoes should say GTX. This listing clearly says this is for the GTX version, but this is NOT what I received and this is NOT what the listing shows when you zoom in…

The last pair of Salomon shoes I bought were too tight and cramped my toes. I have Rheumatoid Arthritis so this doesn't work for me but I took my husband's advice and decided to give it another try. These shoes are AMAZING. My feet don't feel constricted in the boot, my toes don't touch and I walk better than ever since I got rid of my old Salomon shoes. If you have been put off by previous Salomon shoes, this model is perfect. I like that they are all black because I can wear them to work…

I work ten hours a day in a hospital. INCREDIBLE SUPPORT. I've bought at least seven pairs of Salomon SCs over the years since the SC3, including a pair of GTXs. They were made in China. Unlike a pair made in Vietnam (poor quality), THIS pair has a more flexible and breathable fabric. Great arch support! The lining around the ankle is fuller, does not scratch the skin. They are narrow compared to the XA pro 3D. I order 1/2 size up for all SC versions. Unlike previous iterations, the SC 5…

I have never tried Solomon shoes and was mainly looking for WATERPROOF shoes (gtx) for daily walks with the dog in any weather. The description matched my needs, so I bought it. I was pleasantly surprised at how good looking they were and how cute they were. I didn't see any markings on the shoe or box to indicate it was a GTX, which I found odd. I threw some water on the shoes to test them and it was clear it was NOT a GTX. Shame on Revain for the wrong description on their site. I wasn't…

I was and still am a size 8, real and real. I have a pair of Merrell hiking boots and I carried a half size over (8.5) socks. Fits perfectly. Not so much with these. You're spending money, so make sure you fit right! I thought maybe it's men's sizes? But that's not the case. Super weird. Just listen to what the reviews say. I was confused because some people say one size smaller and others say half a size smaller. I went down half a size and made the wrong choice. I received the shoes and they…

I have been wearing Speed Cross Solomons for about 8 years now and they have never let me down! I've had 4's (not Gortex) but have now worn them out and bought the Speed Cross 5 a regular size 9. They fit perfectly! I live in Tucson and am an avid runner. I rode a 10km technical course with all types of terrain to really test it! I was very confident that they would do what was expected and they really did! I tried them again today and they are great! I feel like they have a little more toe…

UPDATE 2020-1020 So - the fit is still great. The pockets are still big. BUT - tread wear was seriously lacking. Within 4 full months of purchase, daily use on paths and sidewalks - we are in the attached photo. I slide over wet concrete and cobbled sidewalks and cause a real mess on a hyperextended knee that fell out in a snowboard slip a few years ago. Now they go in the bin and I change my assessment. Overall fit and wear was good while it lasted. But be prepared, if you spend as much time…
