On paper, the Salomon Thundercross was a bit confusing to me, like a lifted pickup truck in the suburbs. But on the trails, the Thundercross was a versatile chameleon, turning into the exact shoe that I needed no matter what the conditions.

Disclosures: Salomon sent me these shoes to review and paid for a trip where I could conduct the majority of my product testing. I did not have to pay for the shoes or the trip. However, no one is paying me to make this video or to use this shoe. No one will get a chance to preview any of my footage or my thoughts before this video goes up on RU-vid.

@kofuzi
@kofuzi 9 месяцев назад
I did get it in a bit of snow on some of those peaks, although it wasn't enough for any real testing. but it's a Cross series shoe from Salomon. I expect it to do well. But I'll definitely test it out this winter on my local trails.

I love my Sense ride 3, because it feels cushioned for a trail shoe....but I feel the Thundercross has a bit more comfort and a bit more aggression in the lugs so I think it'll be my next trail shoe.

[My RU-vid channel provides free coaching videos for runners] Thanks so much for the review. I've started to really look at Salomon shoes, so I really appreciate it. Currently have the Speedcross and find it heavy - this (Thundercross) is a better weight.

Don't you find your Thundercross in US9.5 a bit too long and clunky? I just recieved my Thundercross GTX today. I've always been wearing Salomon shoes in US9.5 (SpeedCross 4, Outbound GTX and Pulsar Trail GTX), but this Thundercross GTX fits quite differently. Wider toebox and about 3mm longer than the Pulsar Trail GTX I'm replacing. I have more than a thumb's width of space from the top of my toe to the end of the shoe. A bit worried that it might be prone to tripping over roots on the trail.

Do you think this works for wider footed folks? I'm gonna guess no cause Salomon but figured I'd ask lol
@ThatFlowState
@ThatFlowState 9 месяцев назад
Probably not, I probably have about average width feet and these are snug. They are quite narrow in the midfoot and while the toe box is definitely roomier than a lot of Salomons of old it's still not spacious. The closest in fit I can think of is the Speedgoat 5. The Mafate Speed 4 has more room with a similar lock down and is just as capable in technical terrain with a softer but equally protective midsole.

One complaint people have had about Solomon in the past is that they were narrow. I think some of their newer models address this. Also they now seem to be more competitive in the potential road and trail hybrid shoe. For me Solomon is not my favorite brand, but it’s just preference anyway.

It would take me only seconds to roll my ankle in that rubble at the beginning of the video. This is not safe. The shoe has no support for that kind of terrain. I bet rangers are tired of tourists going there without proper ankle support boots. Nothing against the shoe, but the video doesn't make sense.

You would be incredibly shocked to see the type of shoes thru hikers are hiking in nowadays over far more technical terrain. I’ve hiked the white mountains in trail shoes that weren’t even like la sportiva type shoes. Boots are just unnecessary and cumbersome to me but to each their own.
