THE SPEEDCROSS IN ITS FUNCTIONAL UPDATE Higher, faster, further - true to the functional vision of the shoe long established among trail runners and tactical athletes, Salomon is once again scratching its own records with the 6th version of the Speedcross 6 Forces: With the proven recipe, but even lighter materials and an improved grip, the shoe is now even less susceptible to dirt. In the tactical "Forces" version, it is also cut particularly wide in the forefoot area, so that more space and thus comfort is offered even during lengthy missions. OUTSOLE One of the most important changes to the Speedcross is its sole, which is made from Salomon's Mud Contagrip. As the name suggests, the rubber sole features maximum grip on loose, soft, rough and uneven surfaces. With deep and sharp lugs, the sole is designed for the best grip, which also drains mud quickly for ideal grip even on wet surfaces. MIDSOLE Tried and tested and therefore unchanged is the Speedcross 6's midsole system, which uses the typical EngeryCell active foam to offer particularly high energy return combined with excellent cushioning and durability. The sole is welded to the upper material so that the classic Speedcross comfort also promises the necessary peace of mind in tactical use in the new version. UPPER, FIT AND LACING With its Sensifit construction, Salomon finally brings the precise and optimal support that ensures the extraordinary safety of the shoe, especially in tactical use: the SensiFit concept consists of three components: the upper material, the inner lining and the lacing. These three elements come together to create an individual and precise fit that gives the foot support while guaranteeing flexibility and comfort. The upper of the Speedcross 6 is made of a flexible anti-dirt mesh that fits to the foot like a glove for support. The tight mesh prevents dirt from settling between the foot and the footbed without restricting the breathability of the upper. The woven ripstop nylon fabric is robust and resistant to abrasion and sharp edges. The inner lining is soft and breathable, providing comfortable cushioning and good air circulation. The third component of the SensiFit construct, the Quicklace lacing offers a particularly simple but strong lacing with one pull, so that the shoe can be put on easily and quickly while maintaining an optimal fit. With its background as a trail running shoe and in this tactical functional update, the Speedcross 6 Forces is the functional extension of the mission classic, which is now even more reliable and safe for missions on difficult and wet surfaces.
