THUNDERCROSS Series

I've personally used Salomon thundercross trail shoes .I've run the sprint, super, n beast Salomon makes a great shoe, IMO. I trained with them while running the hills and trails in Austin's Greenbelt and really liked the feel and support of the shoes. AROO

Both Asics gortex and Salomon gortex Ive found to be the best I've used.   I get probably 2-3000km out of them?   Say 8km a day of sandstone gravel fire trails and rocky escarpments for a year. I  would get 12-18 months out of them.   Sometimes I just wear out heel rubber and foam is still good so I build it back up using Sikaflex or something to go another 6 month lol 

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 😄

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.

Easy switch to : Salomon Thundercross, I like the gtx version . Ran a bunch of 50 k UTMB races in Europe and never had one blister. Ran the whole TMB and no foot issues. But then I found Kailas 330 and honestly no looking back You will have have no blisters. I don’t tape my toes but I wear xbionic socks or compressport only. Makes a huge difference. Just did a 100k. Don’t worry about my feet at all. Not a single blister or hot spot.
