SALOMON Men's Supercross 3 Trail Running Shoe

Product Information

I have the XA Elevate and I am looking for another pair as winter shoes with better grip in the wet/mud/snow. I was first considering the Speedcross 5 but the Supercross seems a good option. A robust and aggressive grip makes it easy to dig into dirt safely whilst providing all the flexibility needed for ground feel and plenty of push-ups. Trail running needs a secure shoe that isn't slippy or sloppy, and the Supercross 3 provides an incredibly personalized fit with the use of SensiFit™ technology and a snug heel fit. Salamon released their first snowboard in 1997, and since then have firmly cemented their highly respected place in the snowboarding industry, just as they have done for the last 50 years with alpine skiing, nordic skiing, hiking, trail running, and everything else associated with mountain life.

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. 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. Are you looking for trail running shoes specific to a softer terrain, that are comfortable and perform well at the same time? 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.

However, if you're looking for something with a more bare, minimalistic ground feel, I'd recommend trying out the Merrell Trail Glove 6. This Trail Glove version has a new design that imitates the shape of the bare human foot, ensuring it stays in a natural position to the ground. A dedicated trail running shoe to be certain, the Supercross finds its home on a variety of terrain and even felt pretty good on a gravel pedestrian trail. With five different color options, the Supercross will also fit nicely into the color palate of any runners wardrobe. Fit of the Supercross

Jeff: Aside from a few minor limitations, such a foothold, warm upper, no lace garage or Endofit, I find the Supercross to be an excellent addition to the Salomon line up in that it is a very fairly priced shoe with enough performance, comfort, traction, durability and versatility to satisfy a wide variety of runners and hikers who are looking for maximum value. At 24.3 ounces per pair of men's size 11, these are among the heaviest shoes in this review. While they don't feel overly and clunky on the trail, their competitors are successfully lowering the weights of their daily trainers, so look elsewhere if you want the lightest choice. The ripstop fabric is perfect for trail shoes as it reinforces that ripping, abrasion, and tearing resistance.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 flexible construction is exactly the type of composition you want in trail shoes; your feet will move in directions based on the terrain you encounter. 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.
