Salomon Running Gear

Salomon Running Gear FAQs

What is Salomon running gear known for?

Salomon is best known for trail and mountain running, with grippy, protective shoes built for technical off-road terrain, plus rugged apparel and packs made to handle the wild. The shoes typically feature aggressive lugs, secure fits and durable uppers that shrug off rough, rocky ground and mud alike. Salomon's gear is made with the mountains firmly in mind. Across the running shoes range, Salomon's trail styles sit beside road options.

Why are hydration packs popular with Salomon trail runners?

Hydration packs are a popular companion to Salomon trail running gear, helping runners carry water and essentials comfortably over longer distances. They provide easy access to hydration while keeping your hands free on technical terrain. Discover more trail essentials in the running accessories range.

Why is grip important in Salomon running gear?

Grip is important because trail surfaces rarely stay consistent from start to finish. Wet rock needs rubber that holds on hard ground, loose gravel needs contact points that stop the foot sliding, and mud needs lugs that can dig in and shed debris. In Salomon trail running shoes, the outsole pattern helps you brake more safely on descents, push off more efficiently on climbs and keep better control when the route turns uneven or technical. Current running deals can be useful when choosing trail footwear for your usual routes.
