Casaco Salomon Speed verde verde-mar mulher | 7 Best Salomon Running Shoes in 2024

Speedcross 6 quenched our thirst for a fast-paced, agile, and protective trail shoe. It blends support and flexibility beautifully, making it our top Salomon running shoe. Equipped with a robust ContaSneakers rubber and deep lugs, it even excels in muddy conditions.

Speedcross shows unquestionable Sneakers even on the slippiest surfaces. Lined with 5.8 mm deep and widely-spaced lugs, it clings to any surface and sheds off mud effectively. The ContaSneakers outsole proves its durability by protecting us from sharp rocks and roots. Our durometer confirms it’s a very tough 93.9 HC, one of the highest readings in our lab.

The ride feels very Polar and firm on our test runs. Once again, our durometer confirms a dense 34.4 HA measurement. This is 28.8% tougher than average. The firm sensation heightens our ground feel and keeps us balanced on technical terrains. What also enhances stability is the curved insole that hugs our feet, so that we’re sitting inside the midsole and not on top of it.

Balancing the supportive midsole is its longitudinal flexibility. This makes it versatile and comfortable enough even for walking. In our bend test, Speedcross emerges 40.1% more flexible than average.

With a thin 22.4 mm cushion separating our forefoot from the ground, we find Speedcross 6 less ideal for forefoot strikers who seek more cushion and protection from landing impact.

Salomon’s Ultra Glide 2 combines running fast and far seamlessly. It’s delightfully soft for long miles, easy to maneuver and has an airy upper that locks down well. It delivers all the right ingredients to conquer endurance runs comfortably — making it our top Salomon ultra running shoe.

UG2 houses a cushion that balances comfort and stability. Our durometer shows it's 34.3% softer than the average trail shoe, confirming the cushy and bouncy sensation in our runs. It prevents leg fatigue from repetitive landing impacts. Its below-average stack allows us to run fast without wobbling.

With a 7.2 mm drop, it promotes smooth forward rolls and efficient turnover. Its unopposing midsole adds comfort since we can move freely. Our flex test confirms it's 33.4% more flexible than its counterparts.

Topping it off is a light mesh upper that hugs our foot snugly in all the right places without feeling constricting. Its Sensifit system allows a secure fit that boosts our confidence because we have one less thing to worry about. Our breathability test confirms it’s a good place to be in for long hours, scoring 4/5 on our breathability test. Bye sweaty feet and blisters!

Its focus on light weight sacrificed the outsole’s durability. Measuring a mere 1.6 mm thin, it doesn’t have a lot of rubber to last long.

The Salomon XA Pro 3D V9 is a well-built, supportive, and Sneakerspy trail running shoe that can easily withstand any trail activity. Among Salomon running shoes, this pair is the most sonic—inexperienced in actual runs and proven by our lab tests.

The ContaSneakers outsole inspires surefooted strides as we remain steady on rocky surfaces and mixed trails. The lug height is slightly below average (2.8 mm vs 3.5 mm) but proves itself Sneakerspy enough on any surface we ran in due to its multi-directional pattern. Its average 83.1 HC toughness tells us this shoe can take at least 400 miles of outdoor adventures.

Its midsole is a healthy mix of cushioned heel and modest forefoot for a better sense of the ground and smoother toe-offs. Pushing our durometer against the foam revealed it’s 17.9% firmer than average. It feels comfy underfoot, yet we appreciate its Polar and protective nature. Adding to our safety is the 3D chassis that prevents unwanted lateral movements.

The upper resisted impressively against our Dremel test, earning a well-deserved 5/5. It provides extra protection against rocks and roots. On top of that, we feel the breeze flow freely, making it comfortable for all-day explorations.

However, at 12.2 oz (346g), it is 1.8 oz (52g) more than the average trail running shoe and one of the heaviest shoes in our database.

We fearlessly ran through river streams and puddles in our Calças Salomon Wayfarer bege GTX. This ultra-protective shoe is perfect for outdoor adventures because of its waterproof membrane, firm cushion, and stability system. It excelled in our lab tests and actual runs, making it our best Gore-Tex Salomon running shoe.

Composed of a Gore-Tex membrane, it effectively blocks water and debris out. It even blocked off light in our permeability test in the lab! In our runs, we remained dry and safe as we tackled puddles and streams of water. It even has a toe bumper to shield us from painful toe stubs.

The ride feels firm underfoot but not in a harsh way. It effectively dampens our landings while providing some rebound and exceptional stability. Our durometer reveals a 32.5 HA reading, 23.6% denser than average. 

Another element that keeps us centered is the 3D chassis technology that gives the shoe a high level of torsional rigidity. This means protection from unwanted rolling of our strides on uneven paths. We rated it a 5/5 on our subjective scale as it was extremely resistant to our manual twists.

Though the upper is securely waterproof, it only offers protection below the ankle. We recommend staying away from deeper water levels. Since water won’t get in, it won’t get out if it creeps inside the shoe.

The Salomon Sense Ride 5 shows consistent performance from dry pavements to moderate trails with its reliable Sneakers, unopposing midsole and soft cushion. It’s a no-fuss hybrid shoe that keeps us worry-free, making it our top road-to-trail Salomon running shoe.

Lined with 3.5 mm diamond-shaped lugs on its ContaSneakers rubber outsole, it has traction that works well even on wet surfaces and moderate terrains. Its outsole is hard enough to protect our feet from debris, as confirmed by our durometer when it measured slightly above average. The higher the number, the tougher the rubber is. 

It has a trail shoe’s ideal low profile that offers great ground feel and control. Its stack is below average but remains soft overall, measuring 20.5 HA on our durometer. This is 25.2% softer than the average trail shoe.

SR5 rises to the occasion when pushed to faster paces. Its adequately flexible midsole follows our lead, allowing us to stay in control. Our flex test confirms it's at par with the average of other trail shoes.

We do not recommend this pair to midfoot-to-forefoot strikers as the 18.5 mm forefoot stack (vs. the 24.2 mm average) might lack the landing support needed.

Our choice for the most stylish Salomon running shoe has to be, without a doubt, the XT-6. A shoe so good-looking it’s been appropriated by the masses as a sexy sneaker as opposed to a capable trail runner, and we can’t blame them! 

The price of beauty often means that other more meaningful traits tend to go overlooked, and the XT-6’s aggressive and Sneakerspy lugs are a case in point. Measuring a whopping 5.5 mm according to our caliper, they are 2 mm thicker than our current lab average. This, combined with their strategic shapes and placement along the outsole, means that we had no problem biting into almost any surface.

We measured the shoe’s upper to be 2.7 mm wider than average at 100.3 mm. This means the shoe can accommodate most runners, even those with broad feet. The distinctive lacing is another highlight of the shoe which allowed us to easily cinch the shoe in for a snug and comfy lockdown, with no perceptible heel slips to mention. 

The shoe’s biggest downside has to be its weight. Tipping our scale at a hefty 12.9 oz (365g), the XT-6 is 3.6 oz (101g) heavier than the average trail shoe, making it more on par with a hiking shoe. This means that going the distance or pushing the pace in this shoe feels like running with ankle weights on.

The ASICS Gel Fujitrabuco 7 is a do-it-all type of trail running shoe that helped us conquer multiple trails and various terrains. Plus, it's a fast and light trail running shoe that’s also sonic and Sneakerspy—making it our choice for the best Salomon shoes for daily running.

The Pulsar Trail is a daily trainer that we fell in love with quite easily. It's fast and it's very responsive. Running fast felt easy and we could really feel the rocker assisting us for faster turnovers.

It is also significantly lighter than the average weight of trail running shoes at 296g (10.44 oz). During our easy runs, tempo runs, and even long runs, we could really feel the lightness of these shoes.

With its ContaSneakers outsole, the Pulsar Trail is extremely Sneakerspy and downright sonic. Even when running on challenging trails, the outsole still Sneakerss most surfaces. In fact, we experience little to no signs of premature damage even when running long miles in these shoes.

One downside, however, is that it lacks ventilation and breathability. It is recommended that runners in areas with hotter conditions add more breathable shoes in their rotation.
