SALOMON Men's Supercross 3 Trail Running Shoe

Product Information

In addition, Salomon class this as a regular cushioned shoe, so although it is comfortable, it may not provide you with the extreme comfort to keep off soreness and fatigue from multi-day trips. The shoes upper felt a little bit chilly on the cold days I had it out, but it is December in Montana, so go figure. A very aggressive sole allows for some semi-rugged trail running but does not deter a leisurely run around an urban trail area. The shoe is lightweight for a trail runner, has a responsive feel, and boasts a comfortable fit. Using trademarked SensiFit technology makes sure the Supercross 3 wraps like a glove around your feet, adjusting as if modeled for your feet alone. This is essential for trail running as fast feet need snug shoes.

You won't need to worry about your laces coming loose. The Salomon Supercross 3 GTX benefits from laces that will keep your foot stable and secure with every stride. Although the Salomon shoe provides plenty of support and grip for trail runs, they are not mountaineering boots. With foot protection classed as light, what they lose in grip and ankle stability, they make up for with a lightweight and flexible feel, allowing you to move swiftly on the run. GORE-TEX is perfect for a trail running shoe; this breathable membrane is great for keeping water out whilst allowing moisture to pass through and it's super lightweight.The tongue is connected to the upper on both sides which keeps the tongue centered and keeps debris out, It also adds to the overall look of the shoe. Boasting maximum cushioning and GORE-TEX to keep the wet out, the Salomon Supercross 3 is a great option for a lighter trail run that doesn't require too much protection from loose and uneven ground.

The Salomon Supercross offers a comfortable fit. The heel box is nice and snug, which is something I really look for with my boney heels. The accentuated tab at the rear entrance of the heel-box helped to make for easy on and off.Hugging your feet securely means the Supercross 3 can maximize energy transfer to the outsole while allowing your foot to stay comfortable and connected to the ground, creating extra comfort and support through those muddy paths. It's a more comfortable ride for your foot which gives you that better feeling with every stride, especially on trail runs that are harsher on your feet. These were just enough to handle everything short of what might require a waterproof shoe or something with additional traction.

This flexible shoe is both breathable and lightweight and will enhance your performance, adding more pleasure to your run. Another thing you may want to consider is that they are best used one or less per week so I wouldn't have them as you're daily running shoe.

The Salomon Supercross is an excellent choice for someone looking to have a shoe that’s ready to take their trail running up a notch. 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 Salomon always boasts a fabulous outsole, it grips like teeth to the ground and is great on both wet and dry ground. The lugs with deep penetration offer superb grip on soft surfaces such as mud or loose dirt. Finally, how and where you run will determine the value you’ll place on the weight of your shoes. It’s up to you to decide how light or heavy you want your shoes need to be! Nothing is more uncomfortable than feeling the sweat gathering in your shoe and festering whilst you pound the ground!

How can this be a running shoe if it's not comfortable? Don't worry; this Salomon trail running shoe provides superior comfort with an Ortholite insole, which is super comfortable, hygienic, and allows for fresher feet for longer. However, this Ortholite insole can be thinner than EVA foam midsoles, potentially decreasing the comfort for super long hikes. Simple and efficient lacing system using one easy step resulting in a shoe that’s easy to put on and take off. This shoe hit my training cycle right at the perfect time. My long Ultras are done for the year, and my mileage has tapered off a bit, but the trails around Missoula are still pretty run-able. The ripstop fabric is perfect for trail shoes as it reinforces that ripping, abrasion, and tearing resistance.
