Running with shoes that offer support, comfort, stability, cushioning and excellent energy return gives you a sense of fulfillment and gratitude. That is what Salomon running shoes deliver.

Salomon running shoes are firm. The midsole is fitted with two unique technologies that make it soft and responsive for support and stability when running.

What Separates Salomon Running Shoes from the Rest

• Their shoes are Firm, yet Fast

Salomon shoes are firm and designed to be responsive thanks to their signature technologies – Vibe and the Chassis design. The Vibe technology combines Opal and EnergyCell+. The technology is fitted at the bottom of the shoes to deliver cushioning, shock absorption, and responsiveness.

Chassis is a layer of dense foam or plastic (used in older models) found in between the midsole and rubber outsole. It makes the shoes rigid and helps maintain the shape. The Chassis design delivers stability and support and allows you to negotiate different terrains with ease.

• Innovative Technology for Grip and Fine-tuned Fit

Salomon shoes are known for their outstanding grip thanks to the Contagrip outsole. The running shoes use a specially formulated rubber that offers durability, flexibility, and traction on both dry and wet surfaces.

The shoes are also fitted with a Quicklace lacing system. This allows you to create a precise fit, better than the traditional laces.

• Salomon Supports Players and Outdoor Enthusiasts

With their Salomon Foundation, the Company supports people suffering from skiing, train adventuring, and mountain climbing (work-related) injuries. They offer volunteer programs and financial aid to the athletes. Plus, they also help their families in case of death while at work (adventuring or other outdoor activities).

Salomon has an online course through its Salomon Mountain Academy. The online course offers education on safety, topography analysis, and backcountry capers to mountain climbers and adventures.

• They Support the Environment

Salomon follows the Restricted Substance List in choosing safe and sustainable materials for their shoes and apparel.

The Company also partners with the bluesign® company. They use a system that seeks to abolish the use of harmful material. Plus, they utilize proper manufacturing methods to support the environment.
