Salomon is a trail specialist, from the mud-gripping Speedcross to the Genesis, Ultra Glide and S/Lab race shoes, and it now makes road and road-to-trail shoes like the Aero Glide.

A stable, grippy mountain trainer with an integrated activeCHASSIS and a tough Matryx upper. Firm-ish and connected underfoot, it suits technical terrain and long days more than soft cruising.
A high-stack, bouncy road trainer that feels lighter than it looks thanks to Salomon's new optiFOAM² midsole. Great for long easy miles, especially for heel strikers who dislike heavy rockers.
A tall, bouncy door-to-trail shoe with a low-lug Contagrip outsole for gravel, towpaths and hardpack. The new tougher upper holds the soft foam better but it is still no mud shoe.
The race-tuned Genesis, with a lower 6 mm drop, an optiFOAM² forefoot puck and an integrated gaiter. Nimble, protective and stable on rocky mountain terrain.
Salomon's carbon-plated PEBA marathon racer with an aero, gaiter-style upper. Firmer and snappier than most super shoes, it rewards heel strikers at half and full marathon pace.
Salomon's mud specialist, with deep 5 mm chevron lugs that bite into sloppy ground and shed clay well. Firm and high-drop, so it shines on soft, steep trails rather than hardpack or tarmac.
Salomon's lightweight S/Lab trail racer, now with more cushioning, a wider stable platform and ProFeel rock protection. Best for fast efforts on short-to-medium, non-muddy trails.
A max-cushioned, rockered trail cruiser for long days, easy miles and ultras on mixed terrain. Comfortable and stable for its height, though the ride is more cushy than lively.
A glass-fibre-plated performance trainer aimed at everyday marathoners rather than elites. Lively but forgiving, with a widened heel for late-race stability.

A light, snappy and fun daily trainer with a bouncy optiFOAM² midsole at a friendly price. Truly neutral and narrow, so it suits efficient runners more than those wanting support.
An affordable, do-it-all mountain trainer borrowing the S/Lab Pulsar name, with a firm, protective midsole and gentle rocker. Secure and stable, though the flat lugs struggle on wet ground.
