Supercross 4

I got an old Salomon Supercross 4 sa ukay for just 800 and it could be the most comfortable active shoes ive ever worn. Super yes on Salomon.

If they fit, (which is key) I find the Salomon SpeedCross and Supercross trail shoes are excellent. They do run a bit narrow and would consider a wider footprint. The soles are excellent and are Vibram sole compatible with Contagrip. They have a Boca type lacing system and great heel cup design. Plenty of elite trail runners use Salomon trail shoes. They are durable and long lasting and affordable. They are non zero flat which I prefer. French mountaineering company. Quality. Their sizes can run a bit small. Size up.

I just ordered a pair from my local running store, only commenting to suggest you try them on first. I'm a 12 in Salomons and a 12 to 12.5 in Hokas, and I had to size up to a 13 in the 001s.

A pair of Salomon trailrunners. Durable and comfortable.

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.

Salomon trail runners. They’re my goat shoes - the only thing they don’t get a grip on is wet wood.

Absolutely, did all of the ABC trek in trail runners (Hoka, Salomon). You really appreciate the lightness of them.

I’ve walked thousands of miles with Altra, Salomon, and New Balance trail runners. I just switched to Brooks Cascadias and have done about 250 miles on them so far in India, Sri Lanka, Portugal, and Spain. I love them, best shoes I’ve had so far.

I’ve never found boots to be heavy and I like the stability. I normally wear Merrell Moabs, but I got some Salomon trail runners on clearance for $10 at Sierra, so I decided to give them a try (I think the only reason they were still there is the price tag fell off!) I like the trail runners on regular trails, but I took them for a hike on the AT and I didn’t like the way they handled on rocks. The entire shoe shifted sideways and felt less stable than my boots. I’ve been having pain from a Morton’s neuroma in one foot, so the trail runners helped with that. What I need is a boot with a trail runner’s cushioned sole. It will really be a matter of where you hike and what you prefer.

I love my Salomon trail runners. I prefer them to my hiking boots and exclusively use them for hiking.
