Since I bought these shoes 5 months ago I have worn them to: Off road obsticle races (ie. Tough Mudder, Warrior Dash), 7 day hike with a 45 lb backpack through the Appalachian Trail, Golf, Play softball, Wade in rocky water, Horseback ride, roofing jobs, build a front porch, canoe, weed whack, garden, mow the lawn, run a chainsaw,roto till, climb numerous trees, kick a rooster, stomp out a couple of campfires gone wild and plenty of other everyday stuff such as drinking beer and eating chicken wings. These shoes can not be killed. They still look great and clean up good as new after every activity. I am a larger frame guy weighing around 240 lbs and have never had discomfort wearing these beasts. They have a mind of their own and when you put them on you can't help but look for the next fun adventure. I will never go back to another brand after owning a pair of Salomons.

I've been using hiking boots for competitive action shooting sports and they were so heavy and clunky. These things are super light and really grippy. Even on wet wood, you still have traction. I saved like $20 going with the funky colors and they ended up matching my jersey. I'm sold for life!

I specifically purchased these shoes for Tough Mudder New England 2013 and they performed exactly how I was hoping. The lug shape, size, and number were perfect for all the trail running during the 4 months of training and for the event itself. They would disperse the mud and not fill as other shoes with a tighter tread pattern would. Gripping on rock, or trees was also excellent.
The materials used were perfect for releasing water and drying relatively quickly. I actually removed my socks part way into the mudder course as they were only hindering the benefits of the shoes. These things are light yet rugged and show no signs of seam or sole failure after all the abuse.
From the basic traction on trails and through streams to the obvious amount of mud to negotiate and the hill climbing of the mudder (this one was at Mt Snow, VT), I would highly recommend these shoes for trail running confidence or helping to complete any of the obstacle-type, running challenges!
Honest reviews on Salomon Men's Speedcross 3 127612 Trail Running Shoe
This shoe did great in my first run. It got plenty of grip, felt good, however when running downhill my toes kept jamming up at the front of the shoe. I was told to get some shoe glue and put on the bottom of the insole,I hope that works. Overall, a really good shoe. Ill update later after I get a few more runs under my belt in these.

very comfortable for long races, it has no internal seams that can hurt, very resistant to water, and the best is the grip, I've been running for 30miles with them in situations of too much mud and still has a super grip.
