Salomon Alphacross 3 Gore-Tex, Men's Trail Running Shoes, Waterproof, Offering All Terrain Performance

Product Information

Find essentials for men, women and kids this season, including quality ski jackets, ski pants, fleece jackets and more for every adventure. Salomon Alphacross 3 is for experienced trail runners as well as beginners who wants to try out trail running or people who just wants to go for a walk in the woods. The midsole provides a bouncy efffect but isn´t so thick and soft that you lose touch with the surface.

The mesh upper will keep your feet cool and comfy, while the midsole cushions and stabilises every step. And combined with a great fit and the soft midsole, it makes for a surprisingly good running sensation! The shape of the lugs provide a really good grip as they are shaped like an arrow on the forefoot so it graps on to the surface when you run uphill while the lugs turn the other way on the heel providing a great grip during downhill running. Its light, luxurious and versatile and also one of the cheapest shoes in our range, so you really get value for money in this shoe!

Choose from a range of shoes for hikes to winter holidays with our selection of trail running shoes, walking shoes and ski boots. This being said, running down or up grass slopes where there is some thing for the grips to bite into I couldn’t fault the shoe. After 6 weeks of doing the Salomon Alphacross Review I still love Solomon running shoes and would be my first pick for trail running shoe. In this case we are talking very small details which won´t influence your workouts or running at a somewhat lower speed.

The soft Contagrip rubber which Salomon have used for this outsole is soft enough not to create any discomfort for running or walking on slightly harder surfaces but at the same time it is strong and hard enough to really grap the surface in the woods when its needed - to gain extra speed. It provides a sock-like sensation which I really enjoy but there is also plenty of room in the forefoot. In spite of a relatively high stack height (The sole is rather thick so there is a lot of foam between my foot and the surface), I feel it provides a great touch with the surface.You can also easily use Salomon Alphacross 3 as an everyday shoe if you are going out for walks in the woods. Huge thanks to Bryan for his continued support and his wonderful review of these awesome looking trail shoes.

Ideal for off-road running and winter training, the Salomon running shoes collection features some of the most high-tech trailing running shoes on the market, with waterproof running shoes also available. And yes, I did just say that I would like a narrow shoe but because it is quite "low" in the forefoot, I don´t think there is too much space out there at all.

Featuring Gore-Tex lining, firm foot support and an advanced grip outsole, the Salomon Alphacross running shoe series has everything you need to be successful across any trail. Even if its a shoe for beginners, I would consider using it myself as it would be very well suited for trail runs where you aren´t going to take part in competitions in the most challenging terrain. If I get into a shoe which feels too hard, too wide or too rigid, it has to offer a lot to make me convinced that its worth keeping. I know that your feet never stay 100% dry hill running but would be nice to do a park run in them an have dry feet heading back to the car. Salomon Alphacross 3 is a somewhat lighter shoe than Speedcross (weighing 280g), which is also very evident.

Its designed with a luxurious brace around the lacing system but perhaps you need an extra hole around the ankle to make the shoe wrap itself closely around your ankle. When I had enjoyed a couple of good runs in the Alphacross 3 which had confirmed that it really excels in what it has been designed for, I decided to test it a little further with running on mixed surfaces - both on slightly harder trail but also in the woods where the surface can be really tricky and suddenly go very soft.This range includes both mens running shoes and womens running shoes, and there's a wide variety in terms of design and colours for you to browse.
