Lightweight trail running shoes for alpine terrain
The S/Lab Alpine from Salomon are lightweight trail running shoes for fast runs on alpine trails. They offer great grip, good protection and plenty of dynamism - perfect for technical routes and scrambling.
Durable upper material
Thees shoes feature an upper made from hard-wearing and breathable material. Plus, a reinforced toe cap provides protection from stones and roots, so you can also pick up the pace on more technical trails.
Minimal cushioning
The midsole is made from lightweight, highly responsive EnergyCell foam, which offers minimal yet comfortable cushioning and ensures a very dynamic, powerful running feel. Meanwhile, the sole is 23 mm high at the heel and 19 mm high at the forefoot, resulting in a 4 mm drop.
Grippy outsole
The outsole is made from abrasion-resistant, extremely high-traction All-Terrain Contagrip rubber and features a lug tread that is ideal for firm alpine terrain. With a lug depth of 3 mm, these shoes offer a nice balance between agility and grip.
Narrow fit
The shoes offer a narrow fit, making them best suited for runners with a low foot volume, i.e. more narrow feet. With Salomon's typical QuickLace system, they can be quickly and easily adjusted to your feet.
Conclusion
The Salomon S/Lab Alpine are lightweight, close-fitting trail running shoes that are perfect for technically demanding, fast-paced runs in alpine terrain. They offer plenty of agility and dynamism without neglecting protection.
