Compared to other brands, Salomon is a relative newcomer to the running shoe industry. The French ski outfitter was founded in 1947, but didn’t release its first running shoe, the Raid Race, until 2001. When your shoe hits the ground as you run, its cushioning absorbs the force of the impact. Read our article What is cushioning in a shoe? to learn more. The CROSS trail running shoe lineup features three different types of cushioning: Weight: 295 gr, a more than correct weight for a basic shoe since lightening while holding support and cushioning is what often conditions the face. For maximum comfort and support, choose a shoe with a fit that matches your foot. The Supercross 3, Madcross and Alphacross 3 feature a more generous fit compared to the Wildcross 2 and Speedcross 5. Contagrip® technology Ripstop: Woven material often made from reinforced nylon to provide better resistance to tearing and abrasion.Enerziging damping: It is a high bounce midsole compound that offers exceptional energy return, plus a great cushioning and durability.

Sole Width: The Salomon Trailster offers a wide sole in front with 11.5 cm on fingers to increase the support surface and spread the weight is more surface and therefore cushion more penalizing perhaps the precise supports but in principle the latter will not be what a beginner runner needs. On heel it measures 8.5 cm. Salomon shoes are renowned for their traction, which they achieve thanks to the company’s proprietary Contagrip rubber outsole. The grips come in five patterns with lugs–small cleat-like protrusions that extend downward from the outsole–that come in different shapes and sizes, many of which are made for specific running conditions. Ground height: 17-25mm. The usual height in most of the Salomon range, will not be strange for the brand fans.bContagrip TA.

Now that autumn/winter arrives we use the magnifying glass on these shoes with great lugs for mud and fresh snow. Today we review three of them, well staggered. With the arrival of new rivals such as Hoka or the leap forward in mountain races this 2021 of running classics such as Asics, Saucony or New Balance, Salomon fights to maintain reputation as a leader of our sport, increasingly answering. The EVA midsole and Ortholite die-cut footbed work together to provide supreme cushioning and comfort underfoot. The Madcross GTX also has a Contragrip® rubber outsole, giving you maximum traction on mixed terrain. The multidirectional lugs underneath contain additional lateral teeth for an instinctive grip on firmer and harsher surfaces. Drop: 8 mm, medium drop, to put cushioning on the heel. Let’s not forget that it is a shoe for initiation and designed for heel supports, typical of those who do not master technique.

The WILDCROSS 2 is made for running in all the wild places you like to go. This season WIldcross 2 comes with a price of 130€, 8mm drop and 5 mm lug depth and 308 gr.. This shoe likes to go far and fast, whether you’re on a local trail or whizzing through the wilderness. Try a pair and embrace your wilder self. SALOMON WILDCROSS 2: DATA SHEET Consider coming into a store and doing a video gait analysis. Gait analysis monitors your body’s movement and your feet (sports biomechanics) whilst running. It’s commonly used to help athletes run more efficiently and to identify movement related problems for people with injuries who are seeking new running shoes. During gait analysis you will be asked to walk and run on our in-store treadmill whilst your movements are recorded using the latest Daftfish software. A slow-motion, detailed analysis will show and explain your biomechanics, specifically looking at pronation, the inward-turning movement that occurs when your foot touches the ground. During walking and running this acts as cushioning for the body. HORMIFIT FIT: This model changes much compared to the Speedcross last. Add space for toes, side wings of the SensiFit and a hydrophobic TUP mesh. Contagrip® Traction Durability: Deep lugs and long-lasting durability (thanks to a very resilient rubber) make this shoe ideal for mixed terrain.The Pulsar Trail Pro 2 isn’t perfect. It’s not very supportive, and the fit at midfoot was a bit too narrow for my liking. Even with those caveats, it’s a very capable trail shoe, especially for runners who want an agile, speedy feel. Simple and efficient lacing system using one easy step resulting in a shoe that’s easy to put on and take off. I tried this shoe on a brief test run, and I really enjoyed its soft feel and excellent forefoot flexibility—the shoe felt smooth and comfy on pavement and dirt. The generous toe box gave my toes plenty of wiggle room, and its wide footbed left me unconstricted at midfoot. The upper is another highlight: Soft padding around the ankle creates a comfy fit, but it’s stiff enough to provide some support. For runs that involve a mix of pavement and dirt, the Ultra Glide 2 is the model you want on your feet. Everyone’s gait is slightly different, but there are four main types of running styles and pronation:
