Dr Mitch Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 Salomon shoes are popular among us. I am interested in whether they are also good for running shoes, as I have taken a strong interest in running. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darkvibe Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 (edited) Solomon makes regular running shoes too. I have a pair. I can look and see what model they are if you want. I have never run in them. I just bought them because i needed everyday sneakers and my speedcross 3s were pretty comfortable so I figured these would be too. edit: found them online. I guess they are hiking shoes but they are like any running shoes i have ever owned. http://www.dsw.com/shoe/salomon+rawson+hiking+shoe?prodId=299607&productRef=SEARCH Edited October 28, 2014 by darkvibe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ummm Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 Think truck tires...you wouldn't get the same tires for a 50-mile-each-way freeway commute that you'd get for off-roading. Same with running shoes. Are you talking about trail running, or concrete, or ? If you're talking about trail running, then yes, they're a fine choice, imo.

pcs352 Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 Salomon makes several great trail shoes for all types of running gaits. If you're looking for road shoes it's tough to beat brooks or asics. Go to a specialty running store to get fit for your first pair then check out online retailers like running warehouse.com for decent prices....good luck!

Dr Mitch Posted October 30, 2014 Author Share Posted October 30, 2014 It would be for trail running. I have no interest in running on pavement. Right now I've got some Merrell trail shoes that are exceptional but not very light. The Salomons sound promising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
promtcy Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 I wear the Merrell Reflex shoes pretty much all day. I had plantar fasciitis about 3 years ago and tried them for some help with that. Awesome shoe with plenty of cushion and plenty of rubber on the bottom. I bought a pair of Speedcross 3's because I was looking for something lighter. They are very light compared to the Merrell's. They also provide great cushion and for me even more stability. They do wear very quickly though. I wore two of the rubber nubs almost completely off on the outside front of the shoe in about two months. So I stopped wearing them daily, but for just trail running they should be ok. I think they'll still wear pretty quick. As someone suggested above, maybe try a different model of Salomon. The difficult part for me in choosing them was that no-one carries them locally.

DreGarciaTAT2 Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 The speedcross and Fellraiser Salomons are great for trail running/hiking, and obviously shooting sports. When I go hiking out here I use Nike ACG's, but if you're talking about fast paced movement, nothing beats the Salomon line of shoes.

daves_not_here Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 My Salomon 3D's wore out quick also. I suggest keep them on the trail and off the road. Awesome shoe. I think the good traction is because of a softer compound not that they're deficient in any way. DNH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S&W686 Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 I purchased a pair of Salomon shoes and I like them and hate them. I get great traction with them, but since they only come in medium width my wide feet are killing me at the end of a match. I have since stop wearing them.

ardo Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 I also have wide feet. Tried Salomon and switched to Innov8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilkMyDuds Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 For people with wide feet: I stopped wearing Salomon because their shoes are typically very narrow with very small toe box. I started to develop big toe pain after a couple months since I started wearing SpeedCross. I then ordered the Salomon FellRaiser which has 2E (extra wide) but still did not work. Finally I tried with New Balance 1210V2 (Leadville). It has so much better cushion with thick sole and also offers 4E. Very roomy and comfortable. No pain at all after a couple 12-hour matches. I recently also tried the Asics Sonoma that is a very inexpensive trail running shoe (only $50) but with great 4E roomy toe box. It's cushion isn't as good as the Nimbus but I have worn it to a local club match and very comfortable after 8 hours. My most favorite running shoe is still the Asics Nimbus with 4E - I'd only run marathon/half with Nimbus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonytheTiger Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 Where did you find 2e Fellraisers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilkMyDuds Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 Where did you find 2e Fellraisers? www.roadrunnersports.com The 2E, however, was not much wider than the standard width. I have to wear 4E to have a comfortable toe box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S&W686 Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 I also have wide feet. Tried Salomon and switched to Innov8. I ordered a pair of Innov8. I hope they workout better that the Salomon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bradsteimel Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 Salomons are great for shooting *if they fit your feet. They are medium-aggressive tread, not as aggressive as a cleat, but much easier on your feet and legs. Football/baseball cleats really wear me out by the end of a long match. Would recommend going with Asics for running. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joerenew Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 I have some Solomons but prefer under armor boots and North Face shoes for comfort and durability Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
streckjc Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 I wear Salomon Speedcross 3's for my obstacle course racing and they're awesome! I'll certainly be trying them for USPSA shooting since they have a nice and aggressive tread that I would think would help greatly in a match. I have some Asic FujiRunnegade's as well that might work too and provide a bit more cushion to the feet for all the standing around we do between shooting.

MotorMouth Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 That's what they are. They're trail runners. Great for mud races and stuff... if you run on hard pack though, their normal running shoes are better... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikieM Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 I am much too old to run, but I do wear Salomon's when at a match. I'd rather look good than be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
