Salomon S/Lab Ultra Dust Trail Running Shoes
Originally designed as a proto shoe for athletes, this shoe is built on 'Sand, dust and hours of adventure.'. The high-top design of the shoes seals out anything and everything mother nature throws at you, so you can keep going no matter what.
Gaiter Textile Upper
The upper of the S/Lab Ultra Dust is designed to keep your feet locked in and the elements and debris locked out. An EndoFit internal fit sleeve is utlised to hug the foot in exactly the right places and provide a precise fit, whilst a zipped, protective cuff wraps the top of the shoe around the ankle, preventing water, snow, rocks and sand from entering the shoe. The gaiter design works hard to keep anything from ingressing into the shoe, as well as providing added protection from the elements. A zipper and quickLACE system allows for quick and easy on/off and a protective toe cap offers safety from knocks and scrapes out on the trail.
Dual Foam Midsole
The midsole is constructed from a combination of energyFOAM and energyFOAM+ that work in tandem to provide soft, bouncy cushioning underfoot. energyFOAM is a lightweight and cushioned EVA foam for a performance usage, it compresses and provides rebound for energetic steps as well as attenuating shock from foot strike. energyFOAM+ is a lightweight foam with superior energy absorption and energy return. It is responsive and cushioned for resilient bounce and pop, helping you run further, and faster with less effort.
All-Terrain Contagrip Outsole
Crafted with All-Terrain Contagrip, the outsole perfectly balances geometry with rubber to deliver confident running on a wide range of surfaces. The Contagrip provides outstanding traction on wet, dry, hard, and loose surfaces giving you stability whilst on the trail. The outsole can form a solid grip between the shoe and the terrain. The shoes feature a wavy outsole geometry called Relieve Sphere, which is specifically designed to diffuse pressure and to break down repeated underfoot impact for enhanced, durable comfort. When you are running on wet and muddy ground, the shoe's deep chevron lugs dig into the ground, anchoring you in place. This will also benefit you by acting as a solid base for you to push off from when taking a stride, as well as digging into the ground when braking and changing direction. The rubber construction of the outsole provides the shoes with durability helping to reduce the risk of wearing in high-wear areas of the sole.
