British walkers have a longstanding love affair with Salomon’s range of lightweight walking boots, but rather like identikit modern cars, it’s sometimes hard to tell them apart.What makes the salomon speedcross 3 damen sale a little different is that it uses waterproof Nubuck leather for the uppers – there’s also a ubiquitousGore-Tex waterproof liner – along with one of the highest ankle cuffs in the Salomon range.
And despite that, it still weighs in at a relatively feathery 1170g for a pair of size 43s (UK9). The salomon schuhe günstig kaufen also gets a good helping of Salomon’s signature technologies, like the Advanced Chassis developed originally for the brand’s excellent trail-running range, own-brand Contagrip outsole and a cushioned, injected EVA midsole.It also features reassuring reinforcement at the toe and heel end of things and a lightweight ‘Mud Guard’ strip that’s effectively a protective rand.
First thing we noticed was that the fit feels a little closer and snugger than the classic Quest and the new leather Quest Origins, particularly in the forefoot, which means salomon speedcross 4 damen might suit those with a narrower foot. And that ankle cuff really is quite high, albeit really well padded and reasonably flexible.Snug everything up and has a surprisingly secure and supportive feel from the upper.
Underfoot the familiar Contragrip sole variant as used on the salomon schuhe damen sale gives good all-round purchase and the boot feels noticeably more flexible than the Quest with its higher spec 4D chassis. That’s a two-edged sword, on the one hand it’s very comfortable underfoot, on the other, you can feel rocks and rubble through the sole, which could be tiring over the course of a long day.
Although we’re fans of Salomon’s hiking range in general, the salomon schuhe herren outlet isn’t one of our favourites from the brand despite its interesting mix of lightweight leather construction, high, supportive ankles and a slightly slimmer fit than other Salomon’s we’ve used.The underfoot flexibility and high ankles seem like a slight mismatch and on balance we’d be tempted to spring the extra £20 for the leather Quest Origins GTX which gives just a little more underfoot support along with a slightly higher volume fit.
