Comparison to Similar Hiking Shoes

The Salomon Supercross for women weigh in at 290g. I find them super lightweight and perfect for travelling. 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 ripstop fabric is perfect for trail shoes as it reinforces that ripping, abrasion, and tearing resistance. The tongue is connected to the upper on both sides which keeps the tongue centered and keeps debris out, It also adds to the overall look of the shoe. The Salomon Supercross 3 GTX is a versatile running shoe that can take you from the town to the trail. If you like to mix up your running, this lightweight shoe is just as at home in your local park as it is on a rugged off-road route.

The first noticeable thing about the Supercross 3 is the commanding grip that uses distinct and comprehensive lugs that sink into the ground with confidence and reassurance. Flexibility and responsiveness are never affected by the grip, with plenty of push-off for those times when you need a helping hand.The Salomon Supercross are extremely comfy. They are a dream to run in. This is largely down to the cushion of the Ortholite insole. Deep lugs give more grip on slippy surfaces. The Salomon Supercross GTX W feature super aggressive lugs at 6mm deep and are widely spaced apart. The chevron shaped lugs give multi-directional grip – crucial for trail running. 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 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.

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 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. How can this be a running shoe if it's not comfortable? Don't worry; this Salomon trail running shoe provides superior comfort with an Ortholite insole, which is super comfortable, hygienic, and allows for fresher feet for longer. However, this Ortholite insole can be thinner than EVA foam midsoles, potentially decreasing the comfort for super long hikes.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. 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. I'm always a fan of the materials Salomon use, with their skill and expertise showing through the quality choice of material. A protect rubber toe cap and rubber sole allows for easier, securer running plus more comfort. Durability is evident through the ripstop upper, a material known for its durability and resistance to scratches. 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).

With their high heel counter and a large 10mm drop, we don't feel these shoes are the most stable, especially when bombing downhill, as we are here in the San Juan Mountains of Colorado. That didn't stop us from putting them to the test, but we think they could do with a little bit less under the heel. The Salomon Supercross GTX W are the perfect running shoe for pounding the trails come snow or mud during the colder months. I’ve put this shoe to the test over our winter in the Alps and I’m impressed.

The EnergyCell Midsole used for the Salomon Supercross 3 is a famous kit that Salomon often uses in their hikers and trail runners. This multi-functional EVA Foam Midsole provides a mixture of comfort and protection. It’s a moderate heel striking shoe with a 10mm drop meaning that the front of the shoe offers 19mm of protection offering a good level of sensitivity in the forefront. However, Salomon does recommend this shoe is for occasional use, which usually means once or twice a week. This fact suggests the Supercross 3 is not as durable as some of Salomon's other ranges.
