Salomon Speedcross 3 - Why We've Fallen in Love With a Shoe

Whether you’re a competitive dog agility competitor like us or simply an active dog owner who enjoys traipsing across rough terrain in all weathers, you’re probably less interested in what you look like than in staying warm, dry, comfortable and most importantly – on your feet!

But at Agility World we have taken a fall - head over heels in love with our range of Salomon Speedcross 3 Trail Shoes. Not only are they really good-looking, they are perfect for the conditions we find ourselves in when we’re out and about with our dogs.

Let’s just look at a few of their features:

• They are undeniably an attractive shoe, available in a range of colour options.  We love the practical Salomon Speedcross 3 Men’s shoe in black/silver, but the less subtle ladies Speedcross 3 in Mystic Purple, Black and Yellow is bang on trend, too.
• Some Salomon trail shoes, such as the XA Pro 3D Ultra 2 GTX have Gortex weatherproof technology. All are made from breathable fabric with an Ortholite insole and trademarked system that cradles the foot for superb comfort and a superb fit.
• All Salomon trail shoes are lightweight, a definite bonus when we’re sprinting around the agility show ring (or chasing after a dog, who’s chasing after a rabbit! Sound familiar?)
• We don’t have time for fiddling with shoelaces, which is why Salomon’s QuickLace system lets us adjust the laces with just one pull tightening.
• The British weather gives us dog owners some challenging weather conditions at times. If you go off-road at all, slipping is something we should all be concerned about. Speedcross 3 trail shoes provide superb grip on rough ground, whether we’re training, competing or just walking our dogs.

While we're thinking about keeping our feet cozy, let's not forget socks! Sealskinz range of totally waterproof and lightweight socks are lined with Merino wool for warmth and designed to hug your foot in all the right places. Total comfort and extra support. They're perfect for keeping your feet dry in non-Gortex trail shoes. The ankle-length version is ideal with outdoor trail shoes like the Speedcross range, while Sealskinz longer socks are perfect with wellies.

Salomon really have set the yardstick by which all other off-road shoes are measured.  We rarely wear anything else these days, and by the way Speedcross 3 are flying out of the shop, that enthusiasm is shared by many of our customers.  If you’re fed up with soggy feet but don’t want to wear wellies for dog-walking in June, give them a go.
