Salomon Thundercross

Salomon Thundercross review: what runners say

Fit

Slim fit, true to size: classic Salomon last, narrow and race-oriented. Runners with wide feet will find limited room.

Feel

Energy Foam EVA midsole with a solid balance between cushioning and energy return. 31/27 mm stack: protective without feeling unstable, ready out of the box with no break-in required.

Durability

Over 70 km with no visible wear based on available testing. Contagrip outsole with 5 mm lugs; thin base under the lugs: a weak point on sharp rock.

Best for

Technical and muddy trail, racing and training. Suited to mixed terrain from mud to gravel; a reference option for runners seeking a single versatile pair at 4 mm drop.

Weak points

Poor breathability in hot and humid conditions. No rock plate: insufficient protection on aggressive rocky terrain. Some runners report grip could be improved on thick mud.
