Who should buy the Salomon Speedcross 3 GTX

- You want a solid waterproof neutral shoe.
- You want a multi-terrain shoe for long-distance or marathon use.
Updates to the Salomon Speedcross 3 GTX
- Added a new ripstop upper to adapt well to the foot’s shape and movement
- The stitched overlay cupping the heel is slightly larger and sits lower than the past version
- Enhanced stability on uneven trails
- Added little nubs on top of the arrow-shaped lugs to add more traction, especially on mud and snow
All-around grips with the Salomon Speedcross 3 GTX outsole
The outsole uses Wet Contagrip technology that delivers incredible traction even in mud and snow. Salomon utilizes arrow-shaped lugs facing opposite directions for a truly versatile grip.
Placing nubs on several parts of the aggressive 5mm lugs is a very neat way of enhancing grip on the most difficult and challenging trails.
Smooth rides with the Speedcross 3 GTX
Same as in the popular Salomon Speedcross 5, Salomon mixes standard injection-molded EVA and its proprietary LT Muscle midsole foam in this shoe. The midsole produces a really nice blend of responsiveness and cushioning for short or ultra-long runs.
Cool and dry runs with the upper
The Gore-Tex waterproof membrane keeps off water with still enough breathability for cool and dry runs. A new ripstop upper adds durability while keeping the shoe well-ventilated.
Salmon's Sensifit technology
The Sensifit technology is basically the combination of the overlays, the lace, and the midsole to provide a secure and very comfortable fit. A Kevlar-made string allows runners to adjust runners to find their best fit in an instant.
