Conquer muddy trails with the Thundercross GORE-TEX, a cushioned and waterproof shoe with aggressive grip
What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:
"I love how the Thundercross GORE-TEX delivers serious grip without sacrificing comfort. The aggressive 5mm lugs bite into muddy trails and rocky terrain, while the plush cushioning keeps my feet feeling fresh on long runs. The waterproof GORE-TEX membrane means I don’t have to think twice about puddles or wet conditions—I just keep charging forward with confidence."
We lace up the Thundercross GORE-TEX when the trail ahead is unpredictable. Designed in the French Alps and built for rugged terrain, this trail running shoe balances aggressive grip with plush cushioning, keeping us light on our feet no matter how rough the route gets. The 5mm lugs dig in for stability on slick mud, loose gravel, and rocky scrambles, so we never second-guess our footing.
With a waterproof GORE-TEX membrane, wet conditions don’t slow us down. Whether we’re running through rainstorms or splashing across stream crossings, our feet stay dry while the responsive midsole keeps our stride smooth and energized. Built for fast, technical movement, this shoe is ready to take on whatever the trail throws our way.

New Favorite
I haven't owned a pair of Salomon in a while and got this pair for hiking. I absolute love this pair and wear them for everything. I'm ordering another pair just for backup.

Great trail hiking shoe
Super comfortable with lots of padding Some difficulty sliding shoe on if you have a high arch as opening is narrow. A custom orthotic will make sliding in more difficult. Lots of room once the shoe is on.

PNW Dream Shoe
This is the GORE-TEX trail shoe I've been waiting for! Salomon has finally found the perfect mix of durability, comfort, and style in the Thundercross. I've worn Salomon GORE-TEX trail shoes for years, and couldn't be happier with their durability and longevity, but they have always been a bit too stiff for me to wear as my everyday walking/running/trail shoes. Over the years I've found a few Salomon styles that were a little more flexible and comfortable, but, in my opinion, were lacking in the style department. The past few years I've been wearing Hoka Speedgoats, and have enjoyed their style and comfort, but have sorely missed the durability and longevity of my Salomons. Yet, all that changed with the Thundercross. This shoe is by far my all-around favorite for life on the Oregon Coast that includes rain, trails, waves, and beaches. They are comfortable, durable, waterproof, and stylish. What more could you need?

Took these shoes on the West Highland Way - with the exception of some very rocky trails, the shoes were fine. They don't support sharp rock foot landings like my leather sole boots... The trade off is a lighter shoe with good gripping. - But not the gripping power of my boots ---- I did have to be careful on smooth rock. Still - very comfortable - they made me happy.

Highly recommended
I am very happy with the shoes. They are cushiony and sturdy at the same time as well as comfortable.

Super comfy and seem durable
Bought these to replace a different pair of trail shoes that definitely weren’t as durable. Only had these a few months but they are so much better - great grip, seem durable and very comfy- long may they last!

Very happy with these shoes!
I have been wearing Salomon Gore-Tex running shoes for several years, so these are my newest replacement pair. They fit well and are true to size. I can't yet tell about durability as I've only worn them for a few weeks, but I'm hopeful. (my last pair of Salomons wore out at the heal-- on the inside!

Excellent water proof!
I had a pair of Solomon shoes years ago. Lasted me so very long, tried to replace with another brand and it didn’t work. Glad to find the Salomon Brand again.

great for nyc winters
I live in nyc and wanted something that was waterproof, and safe for running in snow/sludge/rain. These definitely check all the boxes. I feel safe running down hill in the park trails. Be aware that the shape is more of a forward roll (which I quickly got used to). Couldn’t recommend more! I always wear a 6 in running shoes (Hoka, On) and the 6 in these fits perfectly. If I reallyyyy wanted I could, probably wear a 5.5 but like the roomier fit of the 6 for swelling.
