Salomon SPEEDCROSS 4 GORE-TEX Women's Trail Running Shoes
SPEEDCROSS 4 GTX is more than a running shoe, it's an institution for enthusiasts who want lightweight and aggressive grip on technical, soft trails. Add the protection of GORE-TEX and you're ready for anything out on the trail.
Water-resistant textile uppers will encase each foot in lightweight comfort, helping to keep your feet dry and warm as you tear up slick trails. Anti-debris mesh and a gusseted tongue unite to repel kicked-up dirt and dust whilst retaining breathability, creating a better, healthier environment for your feet to thrive in. Quicklace technology allows the wearer to create a secure fit with ease (and no tying!) plus they can then be stowed safely away in the shoe's lace pocket, integrated to prevent any snagging/tripping situations. A mudguard skirts the base of the shoe to preserve it and prevent clogging as you splash through sloppy ground, while a durable PVC toe box reinforces the shoe's trail-worthy state by defending your feet against roots, rocks and other general hazards. Sensifit technology employs synthetic overlays, which cooperate with the Quicklace system, to cradle the foot in a snug, customised comfort; helping to anchor you to the midsole and reduce in-shoe slippage so that you can enjoy smooth, distraction-free strides. To avoid damp feet, and therefore dampened spirits, a GORE-TEX membrane resides inside the shoe; supplying a combination of durable waterproofing and optimised breathability. Sometimes it's hard to stay dry without developing that distracting clammy feeling, but GORE-TEX keeps water on the outside while letting perspiration escape from the inside; keeping sweat to a minimum and you, cool and comfy.
An Ortholite sockliner lies atop a lightweight midsole as an extra layer of step-in anatomical comfort. As well as offering long-term cushioning, Ortholite is moisture-wicking and highly breathable, a treat for your feet on longer distance days. Injected EVA resides in the midsole; lightweight and resilient, it spares your joints as you strike down onto hard, unforgiving terrain. A touch of LT Muscle means increased responsiveness and enhanced cushioning; its reactive nature reduces the use of superfluous muscle power, keeping you going for longer, whilst retaining lightweight.
A Premium Wet Traction Contagrip outsole completes the Speedcross 4, introduced to supply sticky grip across slippery trails. The durable compound resists the traumas of touchdowns onto abrasive terrain to gift you with a reliable and long-lasting adventure buddy. Aggressive 6 mm lugs adorn the outsole, providing biting traction as you tackle awkward ascents and daring descents whilst shedding mud to keep you feathery on your feet. For the athletes who crave a shoe that revels in the wet, choose the SPEEDCROSS 4.
