Salomon Thundercross GORE-TEX Trail Running Shoes
The Salomon Thundercross GORE-TEX is a waterproof trail shoe for a dynamic, cushioned ride with superior grip and foothold. Equipped with aggressive 5mm lugs to tackle any terrain, no matter how tricky, technical, or just downright nasty. Developed in the French Alps, tried and tested on everything from rolling terrain to rocky slopes or sticky single tracks.
Synthetic and Textile Upper
Engineered using synthetic and textile fabrics, the upper of the Thundercross enables cool air to circulate whilst enabling warm, uncomfortable air to escape to help regulate temperature so you remain comfy. The materials used are also exceptionally durable and provide optimal protection from rocks and uneven surfaces. To ensure feet remain dry and protected during your long adventures, the shoes utilise a GORE-TEX membrane. The GORE-TEX membrane is exceptionally waterproof, to prevent water from seeping through the fabrication, therefore preventing feet from becoming uncomfortable and wet. Taking inspiration from the best of Salomon's trail-running fits, the Thundercross features Sensifit technology for a precise, optimal foothold, and reliable, cushy comfort. Sensifit employs welded overlays to wrap the foot in a firm, customised fit; they help anchor you to the midsole and reduce in-shoe slippage so that you can enjoy smooth, distraction-free strides. Completing the upper is a Quicklace System which provides a minimalistic and strong lace for a one-pull tightening ensuring you get the shoes on and off with minimal effort.
Energy Foam Midsole
Built on a springy and comfortable midsole compound that delivers punch and pop while smoothing out your landings, the Thundercross uses Energy Foam to provide responsive cushioning and comfort. Energy Foam is a lightweight, springy and resilient foam compound that powers your stride forward. This responsive foam delivers long-lasting cushion and bouncy energy return. The midsole provides excellent shock-absorbing properties to help protect the foot from shock and impact force. This multi-functional midsole will provide both comfort and protection for all-day wear. Towards the bottom, the midsole is extremely firm, which will absorb impact instantly and effectively, preventing it from causing any damage to the sole. The energy produced from this will also be returned as rebound, which will give you an added spring in your step.
Contagrip Outsole
Tackle any run with supreme confidence knowing that you won't be let down by your shoe's grip. Using Contagrip, the outsole of the Thundercross can form a solid grip on soft to rough terrains including muddy trails. The rubber is also extremely durable and abrasion-resistant, which means long-term control is guaranteed. Aggressive, deep 5mm lugs provide excellent grip and traction on all kinds of technical terrain and surfaces.
