Salomon Thundercross "Surf the Web/Black/Fery Coral" Review

The Salomon Thundercross is a trail running shoe designed to deliver dynamic performance, comfort and excellent traction on varied and technically challenging terrain. The "Surf the Web/Black/Fery Coral" colorway refers to a specific model with bright blue ("Surf the Web"), black and coral accents.

Key Features

• Grip and Traction:

Featured with aggressive 5mm lugs on the outsole made from Salomon's high-grip Contagrip rubber. These shoes provide excellent traction on muddy, rocky or uneven terrain.

• Cushioning and Ride:

The midsole uses Energy Foam (an EVA-based material), offering a flexible yet cushioned ride that smooths out landings while remaining responsive. The cushioning level ranges from moderate to maximum, ensuring comfort on long runs.

• Fit and Comfort:

The Sensifit™ construction provides precise foot confinement and reliable comfort. This model is wider than other Salomon shoes, especially in the toe and midfoot areas, making it suitable for runners who need extra space or have wider feet. Runners with narrow feet are advised to go a half size smaller.

• Upper Construction:

Engineered mesh with protective overlays provides breathability and resistance to trail debris.
