Light and comfortable

Little to dislike here for FedEx driver. They hug my feet in just the right way, lacing is different but great, cushioning is excellent, phenomenal traction everywhere, amazingly lightweight, waterproof Gore-Tex(necessity in my job). My only very mild complaint is the tend to lean inward a smidgen walking different angles.

Olive is the New Black…

I wanted something with lots of footbed padding, according to the site, these have lots of padding and they sure do, I stand at work on hard floors, these combined with a good hiking sock are just the ticket for all day comfort. They are true to size, have a nice wide toe box, Goretex to boot, easy to lace, the heel has a drop as they should for a trail running shoe, I bought them for standing and all around looking good. The Olive colour is prefect and a bit subdued, Olive is the New Black…

Like standing on a cloud

I have owned several pair of Salomon shoes over the years, I believe these are the most cushioned sole yet, while they might have a soft cushioned foot bed, the lugged soles are nothing but business and offer great traction while pursing off the best track activities, but they are perfectly adaptable to a trip to the mall. The Gore-Tex uppers keep my feet dry, the quick lock lacing is fast and easy to use, even with a glove. I truly recommend these.

Had some problems at 8 months of wear.

Overall love the shoe. But a little sad that after around 8 months you could see the separation start to happen and at 9 months as the pictures show. Just a little sad that for the money, I wish they would have lasted a little longer.

ThunderCross GTX Review
9 months ago
This is my all-around favorite trail running shoe. I have completed the 100 mile TMB in this shoe as part of a guided tour as well as ran multiple, 50K and 100K equivalent races. This shoe has outperformed all my expectations. I love my HOKAs as well, but when it comes to technical climbing or downhill racing this shoe delivers the comfort and stability I need. My wife and I love it so much we have a combined 14 pairs of both Gortex and non-Gortex versions. I highly recommend this shoe to anyone.

Maximal Cush & Traction
1 month ago
Used these for Rim-to-Rim Grand Canyon and also Pfeifferhorn Peak in Utah. Excellent water, resistance and traction on all surfaces. They are wider in the toe box than other Salomon I’ve tried. Thundercross orked well for me very comfortable shoe that did not develop hotspots. Worried that they might be too hot, but that wasn’t an issue for me. Looking to grab a non-Gortex pair for dry conditions as it drops a few grams of weight. The shoe is not heavy even in the Gortex and I like it better than the Hoka Mafate 4 and the Merrill Agility Peak 5 for stability and toebox comfort. The durability is great so far with 50+ hard miles seeing no issues.

This and Elixires work
1 year ago
Yes the rip stop fabric is awesome - yes the Gore-Tex truly does prevent water from soaking my feet and YES my feet seem better at the end of the day than my Nike Pegasus trail 4 ever did. I think the reason is the cradle paired with awesome foam/cushioning. The Elixires have this and I have a pair (a little bit heavier than these though) that completely have made me reorganize a Planned day to do more solely due to, I believe , the curved grip - a lot of manufacturers are doing this too and I guess the theory is correct!! Lasts all day comfort!!! I did go a half size UP but only because I wanted to wear thicker socks.

Cush without the Mush and Better Grip
1 year ago
The Salomon UltraGlide has been my go-to mountain ultra trail shoe for the past year or so. Love the balance of cushion and stability (cush w/o the mush), but was wanting more grip. When the Thundercross came along, I was excited to give them a try as they have similar cushioning specs. I've been using my Thundercross GTX on snowy trails with and without running snowshoes in the High Rockies of Colorado and they're exactly what I'm looking for. Comfortable level of cushioning, mild rocker shape and an adequately roomy toebox, which provides amble wiggle and swell room for my average width feet. Love them so far and look forward to putting many trail miles on them!

Comfortable with multi purposes
1 year ago
Been walking on these for a month now. Like: Energy foam mid sole makes it very comfortable on basically any terrain. Waterpproof goretex keeps the shoes dry. Nicely made seams which look to be durable. So far so good, will revisit after a year. Excellent grip even walking fast in the rai. Perfect fit that shapes to my feet with roomy toe space. Dislike: (hopefully next version can improve) Took time to break in the stiffness. For me, it was about 2 weeks. Goretex doesn't keep warm. The toe area is cold. I even put my fingers in it to attest the cold retains in there. The pocket lays underneath the last lace loop making it difficult to tuck the lace toggle pieces into.

Holding up well and fully waterproof

Currently wearing my ThunderCross GoreTex on a three week trip through Europe. Rain= no problem Mud= no problem easy clean-up= no problem. I only brought one pair of shoes for the trip and they are proving to be the only shoe I need. Even wore them on the sacred Omaha beach. Happy with this purchase.
