"Both of us usually size up a 1/2 size when we buy trail shoes(New Balance for example) but we actually have to size down a 1/2 size with Salomon."
"Salomon has done such a good job with these that they are all I wear.....for running trails, road, in the gym at work."
"Good orthotics for heel and cushion support, the tread is nice and grippy and good for standing too like all day cooking in the kitchen, and they are so lightweight, it is like not having any shoes on at all."
"What a stunning colour... very confortable, very lightweight, took a few tries to work out the laces but theyre more secure than normal shoelaces."
"I have narrow feet so, since these shoes did not come in narrow, I ordered a half size down from my usual 9.5N."
"I'm the most loyal Salomon Speedcross 3 runner, but this stuff new shoe is a waste of money and causes injuries! Over the past several years, I've owned countless pairs of Salomon Speedcross 3 shoes for long-distance running on both the streets and the trails. It's the only shoe I run in, no matter the terrain or 90-degree running weather range here in Michigan. However, if you're a loyal Salomon Speedcross 3 wearer like myself or looking to try out some Speedcross shoes for the first time after a recommendation, BEWARE OF THIS SPEEDCROSS 4 VERSION! For the past few months, I've attempted to make these shoes work by running in them once per week to "wear them in," but I'm officially done! When I wear my old Speedcross 3s out running, I don't feel this pain in my heels or Achilles at all, but the one day per week I've been wearing the Speedcross 4s I've consistently experienced the new pain. My fiancée (who received a pair of the Speedcross 4 shoes as a Christmas gift before I figured out that these shoes were hopeless) is also quitting these shoes for good after just 6 weeks."

I mean, look at that action figure lacing system, and my tires have less aggressive tread than this shoe, the little colored words on the sides made me think of sponsor labels on a top fuel dragster. The lace system seems odd at first but after a few times I figured it out so I can do it without taking my eyes off the TV. It's tricky at first but if that thug tries to take them off of you he will be stymied by the lace system long enough for you to run away up a nearby mountain... another plus. Nothing too terrible but dark blue on a 90 degree day in the sun is a bit warm. I suppose if I wore them for what they were made for I could cool them by running across a glacier or alpine stream. I'm sure I will appreciate that heat trapping during the other 320 or so odd days of usual cool and wet Ohio weather. I got some very minor dampness towards the end but my last pair of shoes would have sloshing water bags after ten steps so these were great. Plus the snug collar kept the grass clippings from getting into my shoes and turning my socks into rattan mats by the end of the day. While the treads are excellent for quick cuts in turf or dirt they can be a bit slick on smooth wet surfaces. In the reviews people talk about the longevity of this shoe in terms of miles or, in some cases, races. They seem like someone actually designed them to work and last rather than just adding pretty swooshes or springs of shocks on a mediocre pair of nylon/leather sacks and called them shoes. Granted, I was in a tram on the way up and on a wooden switchback walkway on the way down but I felt like I could outrun the other people if I had to. Plus they have the added benefit of making me look like I am a crazy trail runner...a very careful and clean one, but maybe they will think I am on the way to my first race. I didn't run any races, I didn't climb any gravel quarry trails but I hit a lot of asphalt and concrete. I was just at a resort in San Antonio Texas last week and the valets at the entrance checked them out as I walked in. I got a lot of looks on Riverwalk downtown too...but that might have been because I was wearing shorts and showing my blindingly white Ohio winter skin."
"The no-tie lacing system is very effective and does not slip loose; especially with The drawcinch tucked into the toungue pocket. As others stated, for the lugs to bite the terrain, they are softer than standard show soles."
"I also love the lace garage feature in the tongue of the shoe, its pretty genius and all shoes should have them."
"These shoes just shrug off dirt and mud leaving them pretty clean no matter what you do and are most excellent in snow."
"I have been wearing the new pair for about 2 months now and since then multiple knobs of the tread have turn off and seem to tear off if I step on a curb wrong. Yesterday I was walking through bed bath and beyond and the rubber tread pad sepperated from the shoe again just like the first pair."
With a redesigned midsole and upper, our new GEL-Venture 6 delivers excellent shock absorbing comfort, so you can take on the trail. Rear foot GEL Cushioning System: Attenuates shock during impact phase and allows for a smooth transition to midstance. Trail Specific Outsole: Reversed lugs provide uphill and downhill traction on all types of terrain.

"A TRUE THING OF BEAUTY!!!"
"This show is perfect for those with foot issues since it sole is firm and gives great support, the 4E width give greater stability and keeps me from rolling my ankle if I step wrong, and I can replace the inserts easily (but out of the box they feel awesome so I will not need my favorite inserts)."
"Great pair of shoes for my wide feet."
"I like the ASICS Venture series shoes."
"This is first time that I try Asics shoes, it turn out to be the best on when I work out in gym; very soft and comfort with this model."
"Good for low-priced running shoes."
"I got the extra wide shoes."

"The gold contrast works perfectly with the black on white."
"The one thing about ordering Adidas online is that you should probably try on the shoe in the store to see what size you really are. For some reason that translates to 7 1/2 in Men's Adidas and possibly 8 or 8 1/2 in Women's?"
"My daughter purchased these because she works retail and is on her feet all day."
"My preferred style of shoe for the last 10 years."
"He said they fit a bit snug but not worth changing a size."
"The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because the tongue likes to slide to the side."
"I normally wear a straight up 14 in whatever shoe I buy but when I put these on they were buldging out at the sides a bit and it is not offered in any wide sizes."
