What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:


"The Thundercross GORE-TEX is my go-to for unpredictable trail conditions. The deep 5mm lugs bite into mud and loose terrain, keeping me steady on technical descents and slick surfaces. The cushioning is next-level—it absorbs impact without weighing me down, so I can push farther without fatigue. Plus, the GORE-TEX membrane keeps my feet dry when the weather turns, making it a solid choice for year-round runs."


When the trail ahead is wild and untamed, we count on the Thundercross GORE-TEX to power through. Developed in the French Alps and tested on everything from wet singletrack to rocky ridgelines, this trail shoe balances aggressive grip with plush cushioning for a ride that feels both dynamic and secure. Its 5mm lugs dig into muddy, uneven terrain, giving us the traction we need to stay confident on technical descents and slick conditions.


Rain, puddles, and stream crossings are no match for the GORE-TEX membrane, which keeps our feet dry without overheating. The lightweight yet supportive design locks in our foot for a snug fit, while the responsive midsole absorbs impact to keep us moving strong. Whether we're tackling steep climbs or charging downhill, the Thundercross GORE-TEX is built to handle it all.

Great Shoe. Very comfortable

I normally purchase the Ultra GTX. I took a chance with this putchae and I’m happy I did. The shoes are very comfortable. Like walking on air.

Had some problems at 8 months of wear.

Overall love the shoe. But a little sad that after around 8 months you could see the separation start to happen and at 9 months as the pictures show. Just a little sad that for the money, I wish they would have lasted a little longer.

Grip for the tech

I live in the PNW and run/hike in wet steep rocky rooty terrain. This shoe is cushioned enough to mold around wet roots and lock in the stride. The same goes for rocks; if the rock is not shiny, jump. I like a 8mm drop, but will take the 4mm with the rocker and comfort. They do have a super tacky sole and the toes are starting to look like a worned mountain bike tire, but the grip can't be compared. The Speedcross uppers and toe last forever but the lugs wear fast. I have 5 pair of Salomon but only wear these for trail running now.

Great shoe-

I've been wearing this for several weeks now, on and off road, and am happy with the support. I haven't tested the Gore-Tex...

Very bad quality GORE-TEX

Had them for one month, great looking shoes (Fiery Coral color), comfortable and pretty good grip in wet terrain. In one month I managed to get 170km with them, most of it running but also hiking. Lugs started to show some wear but they will be good for 800km more. BUT! I bought this shoes for wet days and I feel robbed. Gore tex is non existent on left shoe, right shoe holds water a little bit better, but it is also wet after 5km of walking in the rain. Left shoe has a pool of water in this distance. Very bad. Very disappointed, probably will not buy Salomon shoes again.

Comfortable shoe

I bought this a month ago and have worn it every day to walk in. It is very comfortable and more cushioning than most Salomon shoes. I will buy another pair. Wish there were more color options.

All day comfort and stability.

On my second pair of Goretex Thundercross shoes. Great stability and comfort that takes me from the trail to the outings with comfort and ease. Fit is spot on for my high arched feet.

Right shoe issues..

Super comfy straight out of the box - these are going to be good ones I thought! And they were, over 5km.. Over the last couple of weeks I've been building up the distances and time on-feet, only to notice discomfort in my right shoe. Now every time I run in them, these shoes leave a thin red line along the side of my right foot - seemingly from a seam inside the shoe. Weirdly its just on the right foot, irrespective of what socks I am wearing. Manufacturing issue?

Great for wide Feet

Purchased these for my teen son who has very wide feet with a high instep. He says they are comfortable to wear hiking and have great grip! They are a sturdy shoe and look good without looking like big blocks on your feet. They are a wider fit.

Reliable, Comfortable, and Ready to Rip

The ThunderCross is my choice for conquering Central Texas trails. Second pair in three years. Consistently providing comfort, support, and durability across rocky and root saturated trail runs. Provides the perfect balance of all-day wearability and support.
