Customers Say

Customers find these trail running shoes comfortable, with no blisters and good knee support, while also appreciating the great fit with speed laces and ample toe box width. The shoes offer excellent traction on all terrain, including ice, and feature an unbelievable midsole cushion. Customers praise their durability on rocky and root-saturated trails, stability with good arch support, and water resistance that keeps them dry even with gators on.

Currently wearing my ThunderCross GoreTex on a three week trip through Europe. Rain= no problem Mud= no problem easy clean-up= no problem. I only brought one pair of shoes for the trip and they are proving to be the only shoe I need. Even wore them on the sacred Omaha beach. Happy with this purchase.

I bought these shoes to have a Goretex shoe for walking around the city in the rain/snow but that could also be used for hiking/trail running. I've worn them pretty much every day since I bought them, using them in rain, snow, mud, etc., and they've been perfect. They feel surprisingly light. Even with the boxy design (which I like) and the treads, I don't really notice them. Granted, Im used to wearing boots, but I don't feel like these are much heavier feeling than the speedtrax or other similar shoes. The treads are surprisingly discrete. I don't feel them at all while walking, and they helped me stop from slipping on ice. They're large enough to be helpful but don't take away from the ability to wear them as a daily walking shoe. Only "complaint" is that they're really narrow and take a while to break in. I ordered a half size up and prob could still to a size up because they're very, very narrow. I pretty much can't tighten them down at all or they suffocate my feet. It also took a solid two weeks to break the sole in, but it's comfortable now

Surprised that a 13 fits me - but it feels true to size. These shoes aren't wide, but this particular model isn't narrow either - nicely in between. I really like these shoes.

I ran 100 miles in a Backyard race in late April. Due to excessive snowmelt and rainfall, the course was moved to a mixture of grass/dirt, several inches of standing water/mud, and about two miles on pavement. I wore a pair of Speedcross 5 GTX and told everyone that I loved the traction and Gore-Tex, but I wished for more cushioning like the Ultra Glides I've worn in other races. This is that shoe, and it's fantastic. My (female) significant other got a pair of of the non-GTX Thundercross and went down half a size from what she wears in the Speedcross, but I ordered my regular size. The fit is more relaxed (she describes them as "not as slipper-like"), and it's noticeable visually that they're wider than the Speedcross. I wore them out of the box on a 5 hour trail run in 76f/24c weather on a rocky and rooty trail and while my feet were warm, it wasn't overwhelming. No hot spots, no blisters, and that's about all you can hope for from a new pair of shoes. The styling reminds me (in a positive way) of a LL Bean duck boot, I think because of shape of the toe cap. The orange stripe on the "Flint Stone" color is a nice pop of color. These were a warranty replacement for another brand new Salomon model that shall remain nameless and I was a little concerned about trying a new model again, but these are just a fantastic shoe. I wanted a Speedcross with more cushioning. This is that shoe and it's fantastic.
