Salomon Cross Pro 2

Are you also a Salomon fan? Today from RUNNEA we present the Salomon Cross Pro 2 This trail shoe defined as theSalomon mud devourer is here to stay. The model of the French brand is created specifically for medium races in which we find soft mud. So we go directly to analyze in depth this trail model that undoubtedly will not leave us indifferent.

Salomon Cross Pro 2, general characteristics

We then enter to analyze this trail shoe directly by the midsole, in which we find the classic Salomon EnergyCell EVA midsole. Recall that this technology, already seen in previous models, is a dense, stable and protective compound. It should also be noted that it is very firm, not spongy, but not hard.

Salomon Cross Pro 2 is that kind of model that allows us, even if we are not elite runners, to run with maximum confidence in muddy and soft terrain. To achieve this, Salomon relies on two fundamental pillars: the sole and the mesh of the shoe; which in their combination work in an integrated manner through adjustments that Salomon calls Multi-Fit.

As mentioned, the first of the pillars is the sole of the shoe, which is clearly an aggressive sole. The outsole is the Contagrip TA with 6mm multi-directional lugs in order to hold our own on any unstable ground, as it uses deep, pointed lugs made from a compound that balances durability and adhesion . This is where it proves that it is specially designed for soft and loose terrain. On sand, gravel, leaves, dirt, mud and more, the grip is always excellent .

The second pillar that defines the Salomon Cross Pro 2 is the mesh that surrounds the shoe, which is a Multi-Fit stretch mesh. This is an upper that adapts perfectly to all types of feet and wraps them in a sublime way to get our foot is always subject. In addition, in the upper we find the Matryx fiber technology, which is composed of Kevlar fabric . This patented technology is interwoven with aramid fiber, which offers comfortable and efficient support throughout the foot.

In addition, we find the Quicklace technology, also seen in previous models of the brand. They are those resistant and minimalist laces to tie in one pull. The simplicity is obvious, easy to put on and easy to take off. We also have to mention that we love that these are created with recycled materials, as today we see something very positive to give a second life to recycled products such as PET bottles or waste .

To finish with the general characteristics of this shoe, it is worth mentioning that the heel collar is very low and small, without padding. This gives us an extra degree of flexibility, but at the same time provides support and is integrated with a high rubber band for additional protection. In addition, the toe of the shoe is also seamlessly integrated with the upper material over the rubber to provide a very clean look and a smooth visual transition.

Salomon Cross Pro 2, technical specifications

If we move on to analyze the technical specifications included in these Salomon Cross Pro 2, we find first of all its 8mm drop . This is a medium-highdrop, which allows us to heel if we get tired after spending many hours with them. In addition, we can speak of a very very comfortable weight because in the men's model we find a shoe of 290 grams, and 250 grams in the women's model.

In this proposal of Salomon we also find that in these a special treatment is applied to provide additional protection, which ensures that the fabric does not absorb water both in light rain, as in showers. It is this over a soft and breathable lining, so comfort is assured. As for the inside, these include a molded EVA inner lining along with seamless construction. All this enhances comfort by mimicking the natural shape of the foot .

This model also includes 6mm lugs that will make us feel safe whatever the terrain and its instability. Since it is a shoe born to enjoy it in the soft terrain of autumn-winter in our country: mud, snow, wet grass, etc.. With a medium-high price, due to the exclusive components included and the most innovative technologies, perhaps these will only be easily amortized by those who run in a snow/mud/water environment for more than four months of the year .
