Catalogue weights; a matching weight basis has not yet been confirmed. The other specs were checked on 19 October 2026 against Alpinetrek (Salomon Speedcross 6) and Alpinetrek (Topo Athletic Ultraventure 4). "Not stated" means the source does not mention it, not that the shoe lacks it. List prices are the full price shown by that source, not a sale price; where sources disagree we show none.

Trail running shoe

Choose the Salomon Speedcross 6 if…

…you move fast on trails, run some of it, and want the lightest and most flexible shoe; it gives little ankle support under a heavy pack.
