THUNDERCROSS

Both are great. TG is more technical and a tighter shoe. The nova is comfier and works well on roads too

I prefer the Genesis for more runnable trails, whereas I like the firmer midsole and aggressive lugs of the Thundercross for steep grass and T5/T6 terrain. Horses for courses 😄

Salomon Glide Max TR 3rd pair- 200 miles - Distance on buffed out nontechnical trail. Salomon Thundercross 2nd pair - 50 miles - Winter with screws Salomon Genesis 2nd pair - 180 miles - Do anything shoe at casual pace Merrell Agility Peak 5 - 112 miles - Technical trail, foot protection, but untrustworthy at speed. Salomon Genesis S/Lab - 354 miles - Do anything at speed, nearing end of life. Replacement pair waiting in the closet. Hoka Clifton 9 - 304 miles - Pavement

Speedcross is less narrow. Thundercriss pinches after 5 miles. Speedcross is good for 27+

Yea. Bought the thundercross thinking they would be a similar fit with a broader range of use case scenarios, and within 3 months was back to my Speedcross

You love them, but I guess you haven't try them before right? The Salomon is a especific terrain tool (muddy terrain), the Merrell will mach way better as a do it all shoe. If you like the Salomon fit have a look at the genesis or maybe thundercross if you are not running very long and in somehow muddish terrain.
