Have you ever seen a shoe that just looks fast? That’s a good way to describe the Speedcross 4, from winter sports equipment maker Salomon. The company began in 1947, in a family-owned shop in the French Alps. The Speedcross 4 is made for tough weather conditions<\/a>, It is just one of many durable tools Salomon provides, with other products including snowboards, ski boots, distance running apparel, and more. The company’s focus on quality and attention to detail makes their gear recognizable and always in demand.<\/p>\n

The Speedcross 4 improves the grip of its 3 predecessors in the product line. Thick lugged soles keep you secure on technical trails. Tree roots and rocks never get a chance to trip you up. But the rubber soles are thin enough that you do not feel locked in. You can feel the ground beneath you, aiding in balance and helping you sense where your body is and where you need to go at all times. Though it’s designed for a back to nature experience, this is not a minimalist shoe. Ample cushioning reduces soreness and fatigue, while the thick textured uppers keep you warm and dry no matter how far from town you wander.<\/p>\n
