"1. Old Nike Terra kiger Salomon s/lab sense 1, 2, 3 ... Yeah every Salomon I’ve come across sucks on wet rock except the s/lab sense 7."
"ye ive always complained about salomons not gripping well on wet rock. ... Contagrip sucks"
"Salomon s/lab ultra 3 ... the sole of the s/lab ultra 3 had identical tread and was described as being the same, but it had such horrible grip on wet rock, I stopped using it on technical terrain altogether after my first run. ... Horrible wet grip"

"Their sole is a little bit ticker as well ... Oh that’s a bummer but good to know! I have an old pair that are basically like being barefoot but with tread instead of skin."
"Current Salomon trail runners have to thick of a sole and cant feel rock well beneath them ... maybe the ones I have just dont work well for this specific use case."

"I always hate wearing my Salomon trail runners in the city on sidewalks…"
The best ones are the ones that fit!! I have wide toes and wore Solomon trail runners for a long time. I switched to Merrell Moab hikers a couple of years ago. Both are 13 Wide (EEE).
r/backpacking • What is the best trail runners for backpacking? ->The downside of trail runners to me (Solomans) was I would sometimes get foot bruises on sharp rocky ground. I switched to hiking shoes (Merrell's) and I feel it's a better compromise between trail runners and boots. Pretty light and more comfortable.
r/backpacking • Trail runners for backpacking ->My Solomans had a rock plate (thank you for pointing out my omission), but I feel a big difference with my Murrell Moab's. To each there own, I know trail runners are the favorite, the Moab works better for me (I have dainty feet, I guess).
r/backpacking • Trail runners for backpacking ->I use Solomon trail runners, non-waterproof because my feet overheat easily in the summer. They've seen the presis in the summer without issues, and have decent grip.
r/wmnf • Boots for the Whites in Summer? ->What do you want to do? I love my Solomon trail runners but if I'm sliding down shale I'll take the Keens all day long. Both are good brands in my experience.
r/HikingAlberta • Which one should i get? im both comfy with both its just im asking for the durability of the brands, any reviews is a great help. ->The Salomon has the Contagrip All Terrain. This Contagrip seems that is really really bad. I have the Salomon Quest Elements with Contagrip Mud and is amazing how good the grip is on wet rocks of the rivers. The problem with Salomon is that they only say "Contagrip" and not the kind of Contagrip... And reviewers only say Contagrip. To check the model of Contagrip you have to go to their website and search the shoe and see the details of it.
r/trailrunning • The best wet rock grip, Arcteryx, Adidas, Salomon, Altra, LaSportiva, Icebug, VJ ->Over the years I’ve worn trail runners from Merrill and Salomon, or standard running shoes from Nike and NB. A comfortable fit was the main criteria. Even on wet ground I’d rather have fast drying sneakers than boots.
r/hiking • what summer hiking shoes do you wear? ->I like Oboz boots. I also like my Solomon trail runners. I've done massive days in both, totally depends what you are more comfortable in. I do personally find benefit in some ankle protection and waterproofness. Some folks poopoo that... but I bet they have wet feet.
r/vermont • Hiking Boots ->Salomon glide max trail runners are super nice. The sole bed says something like “ortholite” on it. I needed a wide toe area but normal width everywhere else and I was able to put about 15,000 steps on them three times a week for half a year before I needed to replace them
r/AppalachianTrail • best trail runners for hip pain? ->Yes! this is a great point. I always hate wearing my Salomon trail runners in the city on sidewalks… I do it because I absolutely need trailer runners and my other pair of shoes is usually something more dressy.
r/HerOneBag • The age-old question…shoes? ->Salomon trail runners. They’re my goat shoes - the only thing they don’t get a grip on is wet wood.
r/discgolf • Disc golf shoes? ->This. I own the Glide Max TR, and love them, and a review saw said they are an upgraded version of that. Sounds good to me, next on the list.
r/AskRunningShoeGeeks • Help me pick out a new pair of light trail/gravel shoes that can work for daily runs as well ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
