Men's Alphacross 5 Gore-tex Running Shoe

This is my third pair of Salomons. I need respectable sneakers to get me around town for some reasonable daily mileage. By this I mean about 2.5 hours term time and about four hours holiday time (guess my job?!). Nothing off road. I'm hoping they are reasonably water resistant. My previous pairs were not, though still much better than a standard trainer in the wet. That's with Gore-Tex too. These are very comfortable. I'd say fairly 'tru-fit' size wise. Build quality and visually they're great. The soles will fail first for me I suspect. As ever I remain optimistic that I'll get value for money.

I’m very much a novice runner, started last year (in retirement) and now run between 1 and 3 miles most days, with personal distance record 8.5miles. These shoes, the gore-tex versions, were bought to replace an identical pair of non gore-tex, that had served me well apart from a worn down tread, after a reasonable use. I didn’t particularly want the gore-tex, but price was good, and cheaper than the non gore-tex so I gave them a try. I wore them first time today, for a 5k run. Absolutely fine from the outset, just like my old ones but a little more firm without the worn out tread, no discomfort at all at 5k. Still not sure if gore-tex is beneficial for running, as I’ve no inclination to recreate the beach scene from Chariots of Fire. One significant advantage did quickly come to light however, when I gave them a wash (I’d ran through a field covered with fertiliser). The old shoes used to quickly get waterlogged inside and out when washed and rinsed. The new ones, with Gore-tex, stayed nice and dry inside - so that’s a plus.

Good shoe, sizing is US so you may need a size bigger but they are comfortable to wear and have walked in the rain for hours with these on and no issues with them. The soles wear well and offer plenty of grip,wet or dry. Would be 5 stars but for the sizing issues.

Great pair of trainers with lots of grip in slippery conditions and weather proof that keeps thd feeg dry.

Best shoes for delivery men’s!!

I used these on a resent hike in Snowdonia on a camping trip , they fit as comfortable as trainers but with excellent grip and good re enforcement on the toes incase of banging on rocks. Quite low on the ankle so they don't offer a lot of support like a hiking boot , but the lightweight design feels so much better than wearing a heavy boot. I found the grip to be very good on Rocks , Rocky paths and they don't weigh you down at all even on long hikes. Obviously walking through boggy ground can be a problem with these on but for Rocky paths they are really good , they are very comfortable too. The first time wearing these for a long hike they felt great , no rubbing , no blisters , even without being worn in, it was just like wearing comfortable lightweight trainers but with tougher grips. I like the slim design, they are not bulky at all , they do seem durable though thanks to thick treads and soles. The outer material is lightweight, they lack ankle protection and knock protection to the sides of the shoe but the toe ends are rugged and protected. I'm pleased with the comfortable lightweight fit and the toe protection, easy to walk in for long treks , for the price I paid of £60 I see that as excellent value.

Looks fabulous but they are not wide enough for my son feet. I irder bigger size and we will see.

The shoe will fall apart after 10 months poor quality

Perfekt. Tredje paret - kan verkligen rekommenderas!

- comfort for long distance walk - strong and confident grips - best design to wear for leisure traveling

Scarpe perfette e comodissime già dal primo utilizzo. La leggerezza è impressionante, apprezzo anche la facilità e velocità nella legatura a differenza dei soliti scarponcini. Ho trovato la taglia perfetta ed in linea con le scarpe da ginnastica di marchi noti che uso abitualmente a differenza degli scarponcini alti da montagna per cui con Salomon preferisco circa una taglia in più: 44

Snygga och sköna skor

Very durable and comfortable waterproof trekking shoes. The tread is designed to provide excellent no-slip grip in wet conditions.
