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 Salomon Supercross is designed as an off roader performing best on wild terrain. And in the wild, grip is king. Lets talk about this shoe’s lugs (What are lugs?? Lugs are simply the tread on the bottom of a shoe). 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. 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. 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 Salomon Supercross for women weigh in at 290g. I find them super lightweight and perfect for travelling. Salomon shoes are built to last using superior technology and materials, so worrying about their longevity is never an issue. Indeed, the Supercross 3 certainly looks and feels sturdy, well made, and durable. For example, using the ripstop fabric reduces scuffs and scrapes and means these should stay looking newer for longer.

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. When running on the wet and muddy ground, the shoe's deep chevron lugs dig into the ground, anchoring you in place. This gives a solid base for push-off from when taking a stride and digging into the ground when braking and changing direction.

The Salomon S/LAB Ultra 3 trail running shoe provides a comfort level so high you'll think you're wearing a road running shoe. With a highly breathable, lightweight upper and a midsole made of the most durable foam, you'll experience comfy cushioning and protection for long-distance use. You can see the massive difference between the height of the foam underfoot in the forefoot and the heel. The heel is very protective, while the forefoot is rather sensitive. You can also see that while there are a lot of overlays on the upper, the crease point on the forefoot is left exposed to abrasion and early tearing. 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. Salomon is renowned for producing shoes that have excellent outsoles, and the Supercross 3 fall right into that category. The shoe has a Contagrip outsole that combines an aggressive lug pattern with excellent durability. This flexible shoe is both breathable and lightweight and will enhance your performance, adding more pleasure to your run.
