Salomon | Women’s Thundercross Running Shoes – Nocturne/Black/Papaya

Advice for Trail Runners: The Salomon Women’s Thundercross Running Shoes are for muddy trail runs. This is because they have an aggressive 5 mm lug outsole design. 

Underfoot Feel

5 mm lugs should dig in and grip on wet and muddy ground. As they’re spaced out, mud is less likely get stuck between them. This should maintain your grip level throughout your run.

The Contagrip outsole sits underneath a relatively thick layer of Energy Foam cushioning. This means the Salomon Thundercross Running Shoes should feel comfortable on both soft and firmer terrain.

Upper Fit

Salomon’s trademark Sensifit technology features in the Thundercross Trail Running Shoes’ upper. The benefit? Your feet should feel secure and supported on uneven ground. 

The Quicklace system helps distribute pressure more evenly around the top of your foot. It’s very unlikely to come undone during a run. This system handily tucks away under a pocket on the tongue.

Ideal Run Type

If you like to run in the mud, choose the Salomon Women’s Thundercross Running Shoes. 

These are also suitable for rocky trail runs, as well rolling terrain. As these offer a relatively high degree of cushioning, they should feel comfortable over longer distances.

Sizing Advice

Shoe size is a personal preference and everyone’s feet are different, but we want to ensure you avoid any pain or discomfort from bruised toenails, rubbing, blistering or pins and needles.

Your running shoes should have enough width to allow you to spread your toes and should have some space at the front (we recommend having a half to one thumb’s width of space from the end of your longest toe to the front of your running shoes).

This usually means that your running shoe will be at least a half size bigger than your regular shoe size though this can vary from brand to brand.
