The Salomon Forces Speedcross 6 combines the proven performance of Salomon's Speedcross trail-running platform with a more discreet, durable construction designed for demanding professional and outdoor use. Lightweight and agile, it is particularly well suited to fast movement across soft, loose and uneven terrain.

Speedcross Performance
The Forces Speedcross 6 takes the lightweight, aggressive design of Salomon's Speedcross trail-running footwear and adapts it for professional and demanding outdoor environments.
Its low-cut construction prioritises agility and freedom of movement, making it a strong choice where the weight and additional ankle coverage of a conventional boot are not required.
Grip & Traction
The aggressive Contagrip® outsole is one of the defining features of the Speedcross platform. Deep lugs are designed to bite into soft and loose surfaces, providing confident traction across mud, trails, grass and uneven ground.
This makes the Forces Speedcross 6 particularly suited to off-road conditions where grip is more important than the flatter outsole profile typically found on road or everyday footwear.
Cushioning & Comfort
EnergyCell™ cushioning helps absorb impact and provides a responsive feel underfoot during walking and faster movement.
The lightweight construction helps reduce unnecessary bulk and fatigue, making the Speedcross 6 suitable for extended periods of activity where mobility and comfort are priorities.
Quicklace™ System
Salomon's Quicklace™ system uses a strong, minimal lace system that can be tightened quickly and evenly across the foot. This provides fast adjustment and a secure fit without conventional lace tying.
Construction & Protection
The Forces version uses a durable upper designed to cope with demanding use while retaining the lightweight character of the Speedcross platform.
Reinforcement around key wear areas and additional toe protection help protect the foot and improve durability across rough outdoor terrain.
Is It Waterproof?
No. This standard Forces Speedcross 6 prioritises lightweight performance and breathability rather than using a waterproof GORE-TEX membrane.
For regular use in wet conditions where waterproof protection is a priority, a GORE-TEX Salomon model may be more suitable.
Fit & Sizing
The Forces Speedcross 6 is designed to provide a secure, performance-focused fit that holds the foot confidently during movement across uneven terrain. The Quicklace™ system allows the fit to be adjusted quickly and evenly.
For extended outdoor use, allow sufficient room for your preferred socks and for natural foot expansion throughout the day.
