Salomon's advice on choosing the right trail shoe
You may be wondering which shoe to put on on race day. Salomon trail running shoes are worn by the world's greatest athletes, and this expertise is reflected in all our products. Discover our tips for finding the perfect trail shoe for your stride!
You're probably used to running on asphalt in Paris, but the terrain for trail running is very different. It can be rocky, muddy or highly technical. Trail shoes must therefore offer grip, support and stability on these irregular terrains.
And as trail trails can sometimes hold a few surprises, a good trail shoe should also guarantee good foot support, with reinforced uppers and protectors.

Seb's advice: To choose the right trail shoes, you need to test and try them out. The expression "find the shoe that fits" takes on its full meaning in trail running! Of course, you'll want to choose spikes for muddy conditions, or shoes that are comfortable and light enough for the distance you'll be covering. As I say, the right trail shoe is first and foremost the one you feel most comfortable with, and that's a very personal thing :)
Depending on your frequency of use, your objectives and your level, the criteria for your choice will vary. It's also essential to take into account the nature of the terrain on which you train the most:
- On greasy ground: we recommend you choose a shoe with pronounced studs for extra grip.
- On dry or mixed terrain: opt for more discreet studs to ensure stability and performance.
- As you extend the distance, comfort becomes paramount: opt for a versatile shoe with a responsive stride and optimum comfort mile after mile.
Finally, don't hesitate to visit one of our boutiques in Paris(Salomon Madeleine and Salomon Odéon) to test these models (and many others) and benefit from the advice of our experts.
