[Closed] PSA - salomon speedcross 3 . £20 on Amazon

Nice one, they'll do for the summer holidays.

Cheers OP.

Ta, needed new shoes and budget tight at mo. Spot on

Some of the sizes are going up to £79.99 but some still £20 including 'normal' sizes!

Result. Bargain. Need new runners and ones more robust. Hope they fit.

Excellent spot - been after a pair for a while, many thanks!

unlike the narrow raidlights the other day - based on previous experiance these shoes are as wide as ****. toe box i could camp in ....

but at 20 quid im not sure youll care 😀

Awesome. These come up a tad small so I tend to buy a half or full size bigger than usual.

Good spot. Black size 9s disappeared between putting them in my basket and clicking "buy" but camo ones still available.

Don't forget, well for me anyway, Salomons fit a bit narrow. So despite being a 9 in most things, I have to .5 up in these.

btw: Normal amazon link: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B013UFVETW/

Also, Field & Trek are owned by Sports Direct, so I feel this may be a mis-price and orders may not be honoured. Hopefully I am wrong.

Edit: Just been posted on HKUD, so well done whoever that was, but it means these'll probably get battered soon.

Still in stock, just sold by USC now.

Wow, that's a great deal at £20.

Thanks god they've got silly laces - I was nearly tempted!

bought some similar Salomon shoes in sports direct a few weeks ago for £17.50 so hopefully genuine

SD are a lot of things, but don't think they are selling knock-offs just yet.....probably.

Cheers OP.

It actually appears both sellers, USC/Field & Trek are Sports Direct companies. Must be a company wide clearout.

I would have had those but bigger sizes are 79.99 🙁

Doesn't Sports Direct own (or part own) the Salamon Brand, just like it owns Karrimor / Muddy Fox / Etc.

Nice one OP.
Black 9.5 ordered 🙂

Thanks god they've got silly laces - I was nearly tempted!

The laces actually work really well.

Nope. Was owned by Adidas, but they sold it in 2005 to [url= https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amer_Sports ]Amer.[/url]

Thanks for the PSA - went for 8.5 Camo.
Cheers!

bongohoohaa - Did you just do a stealth edit 8)

You linked to some other stuff briefly, and in theory I have got some Gore Tex walking boots for £20 !

Great PSA - I need some new walking boots and have been after some of those Salomons. Hope it all works out OK

I wear XA Pros all the time (including for work) so a spare pair for £25 is brilliant. Thanks!

I've just taken delivery of summer North Face Hedgehog GTX, I must resist buying these.

@funkydunc

I am conflicted. All links posted here, are being reposted on HKUD, so thought I'd cut it, but **** it.

Heads up v2.

Seems all the mid-sizes are now sold by a different company (£79.99), still appears to be 7/8s at £20 though?

Brilliant, size 10 XA Pro for £20 + delivery. Thanks!

Pair of boots anaw noo. 😀

Been keeping an eye out for some reasonable priced trail trainers...got them in black 11 for £25. Made up,cheers OP!!

Also bought Speedcross Goretex in bright green for 20 spots.

Bob on, I live in Salomons and have an Amazon gift card doing nothing. Ordered, thank you very much.

Got some size 9 xa pro 3 gtx for £25.

Been wearing Merrels for years but the quality has been going downhill for a while so looking forward to trying these out

Thank OP

So, being a size 8, should I get 8.5 Salomons?

Sweet, got some goretex walking boots as well apparently!!

I have 11 feet normally but have to size up in Salomons and Merrells

Always been my usual size 10 in Salomon, never had to size up.

Cheers - just got a pair of 8.5 Salomon's (normally get size 8 Merrell).

Fingers crossed they fit.

Cheers.

You sods. I ordered some Speedcross 3 GTXs last week and now they're too muddy to send back!

So, being a size 8, should I get 8.5 Salomons?

I'm a reliable 9 in just about everything, but need to go to 9.5 in Salomon. I have slightly wider feet than average.

Buy another pair at the cheap price then send them back as a return on the original order....

Bought the black ones in a size 9 5 minutes ago for £20, now £79.99. Thanks for the psa.

edit: I'm a size 9 normally and just the same in salomon

Just bought a pair of size 8s too - and looking on Ebay, I reckon I could flog the size that doesn't fit for £60 easily.

Anyone noticed that almost everything else on field and trek amazon site is £20? I can order a muddy fox bike for that price and also some trouser clips!

Think there is a cock-up with their pricing.

Sid

Ah looks like a cock up then. Oh well, didn't need then anyway.

I have 11 feet

What are you going to do with the odd shoe? Is it a left or a right?

Be aware that Speedcross shoes are slippery as a slippery thing on slippy rock

Managed to get some Black 9s at £20, really wanted those Camo ones in a 9.5/10 though!!

So you've bought shoes that are a size too small just because they were cheap 🙂 (and highly unlikely the order will be fulfilled)

They'll fit as normal runners, just not with sealskin socks!

Something very weird going on. Everything is £20

They are going for the executive market that refuse to shop at Poundland. 😉

I just pushed the button on a pair of Merrell Moab Mid GTX boots for £20.. Everywhere else they are £100 + (even on trek and fields own website)

I await the email to say it's been rejected

I did check their own website and the prices were different! In the past the pricing has been the same across the 2. I'm going with cock up!

Have ordered so Merrells though on the off chance!

I made one order.

Then rang my dad, so made another order.

Then saw some other stuff, so made a third order.

Part of me is hoping it's a snafu, as I really don't need anymore shoes.

I did go with express delivery in case at least one order can slip through the net before they realise 😀

Just bought 2 pairs of Merrell Moabs (boots and shoes).

Let's see what happens!

What are the rules regarding honoring an order? Oakley did something similar a while back IIRC and loads of people got dirt cheap Jaw Bones.

As mentioned, F&T are owned by SportsDirect.

I'll leave it at that.

What are the rules regarding honoring an order?

They don't need to honour it, and if it's a pricing mistake I wouldn't expect them to either.

Hope it is right, just ordered a pair of black mid height gortex boots - could do with a pair for getting dirty, my other two pairs are light coloured for everyday wear 🙂

If it is a pricing mistake you'd had thought they'd have spotted it by now and corrected.

AIUI They don't need to honour it if it's an [i] obvious[/i] pricing mistake. Twenty quid for a new bike is clearly an error. Twenty quid for a pair of shoes, it's what I paid for my last pair of Solomans.

If they've taken payment and it's not a clear mistake, that's a legally binding contract of sale.

Clever marketing ploy to lure in new customers? Especially as Sports Direct are having a bad time of it.

Shift a few shoes at cost than sell us some more in a year at a proper markup?

If they've taken payment and it's not a clear mistake. That's a legally binding contract of sale.

good luck with that.

Just checked online banking and I do having a pending transaction for the order. But I'm not holding out much hope.

good luck with that.

Can but see. But it wouldn't be the first I've successfully challenged.

it's what I paid for my last pair of Solomans.

Solomans? I hate to break it to you, they might be knock offs 🙁

Shush. (-: I never can spell that correctly first go.

I mean, auto correct failure, obvs. Erm.

Will just have to wait and see.

Lots of stuff on their Amazon site that isn't worth £20 is currently £20 so I reckon its an error.

I like the way F&T's express delivery is anytime between the 9th and the 14th.

Bummer, I always miss out on these PSA's. I got in early this time hopefully i'll be one of the lucky ones.............

I imagine someone at Sports Direct HQ online shopping dept. is getting a kicking right about now.

Some prices back up 😥

My order status is now "Preparing for Dispatch".

Fingers crossed. With my Ovo voucher I got 2 pairs for £19.99!

My order status is now "Preparing for Dispatch".

Mine has been saying that since 9am.

Paid for express delivery in the hope they would ship them before realising the **** up. I don't think that strategy has worked.

My order status is now "Preparing for Dispatch".

I think that's the defaults status for a new order.

Well, I gave in and ordered two pairs, one Speedcross, one XA Pro. Let's see if they turn up!

Well [url= https://www.amazon.co.uk/Salomon-Walking-Ortholite-Lightweight-Autobahn/dp/B013UGBDVU/ref=sr_1_11?s=shoes&ie=UTF8&qid=1467900445&sr=1-11&keywords=Salomon+Mens+X+Ultra+GTX+Walking+Shoes ]the ones I ordered [/url]are still showing at £20 so if it *was* a mistake, surely they knew and would have corrected by now?

I think that's the defaults status for a new order.

Pretty sure is said Pending at first. Could be wrong.

The question is whether Sports Direct want any more bad publicity. They published their trading figures today and they weren't that great. Do they take a bit of a hit or make themselves even more unpopular? I wonder what the markup on these is anyway.
