Those who run occasionally will have different needs from those who run every day, especially when it comes to finding the perfect shoes! That’s why the first two things to consider when buying new shoes are how much you run and what kind of terrain you run on!

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: Everyone’s gait is slightly different, but there are four main types of running styles and pronation: 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.

Today we bring you the technical analysis of the Salomon Madcross. A shoe within the most basic segment of Salomon, but incorporating many Salomon technologies, which makes it a very interesting shoe as it is for sale at a very competitive price. In the winter of 2018, Salomon surprised with the launch of the Salomon Trailster, whose analysis we present to you. It was a novelty as it offered a trail initiation shoe with very good value for money. Contagrip® Traction Durability: Deep lugs and long-lasting durability (thanks to a very resilient rubber) make this shoe ideal for mixed terrain.

Enerziging damping: It is a high bounce midsole compound that offers exceptional energy return, plus a great cushioning and durability. It will do so with a price of 100€, weight 295 grams and drop of 8mm between forefoot and heel. All this with 5mm lugs. A shoe to start racing on mud, snow or other soft terrain. The Salomon Madcross is the choice for the popular and multipurpose runner to fulfill with great dignity in all kinds of soft terrain: Snow, mud, grasslands and squat areas. It also offers an approach aimed at increasing durability as we will now see. Here you can see your TRAILSTER 2 sisters for firm terrain, and SALOMON SENSE FLOW 2 which will also arrive in stores later. And now, let’s go to the mud queen…. SALOMON MADCROSS: DATA SHEET. 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.The seamless stretch upperwelcomes you comfortablyand ensures aprecise fit.The SensiFit process envelopsyou in a softand airy fit.The waterproof Gore-Tex membraneprotects you from the rainand offersoptimal breathability.

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.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.

Price 130 €, it shares the price with the Speedcross 5 and it is 20 € more expensive than the Super Cross Blast and Alphacross Blast sisters. 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. 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.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. Drop: 8MM Lowered 2mm compared to the Speedcross 5 chassis to provide more stability and ground feel.
