The Spectur from Salomon has its downsides. One, it's warm. And two, it feels slappy for slow runs. If you want to feel the cool breeze on your toes, take the Salomon Index.01 instead. And if you want a shoe that's cushy enough for mellow runs, the Salomon Sonic 3 Balance is a better option than the Spectur.

With lots of cushion, this running shoe has a "very vibration absorbing" ride describes one tester.

Beware of slow paces

Because of the firmness of the heel section, the shoe has "a lot of stability," shares one expert. But it's also a bust because it feels, as one runner would put it, "a bit blocky at slower paces." Another adds that it's "very, very stable back there but dull."

Where it shows true prowess though is in tempo runs. Why? Because it "puts some snap and impulse into the ride," explains one road runner. And this is thanks to its springy and reactive forefoot.

What's even better is "as the pace picks up that lumpy sense disappears," reports another reviewer.

The mesh upper is very padded, and the shoe feels "secure front to back," states one running shoe expert. And when it comes to the shoe's heel hold, it's very excellent. Fantastic even! 

The Spectur's heel collar is very padded. What's more, it's "like a Cadillac," describes another critic. He explains: "you're just getting in there, and it's comfortable."

Upper: A case of overpadding

This makes it cozy, yes. A runner even expresses that "it does feel really good on the foot." But on hot days, he reports: "my foot definitely was sweating a bit." Another expert reviewer adds: "That said, you will be cozy come fall and winter here."

Withstands the test of time

"I don't really feel the shoe flattening out," remarks a reviewer who has wear-tested the shoe for 50 miles. And on the outsole, he reports that there's minimal wear.

Like a true Salomon, the Spectur "has a classy simple look that doesn't over shout," shares one road runner. But despite its straightforward look, it is "striking nonetheless," he continues. And overall, the Salomon Spectur "does strike a chord!"
