- SALOMON THUNDERCROSS first run and first impressions review. If the Salomon Speedcross 6 and the Ultra Glide 2 got together and had a love child, I'm pretty sure it would look just like the brand new model to the Salomon trail running range, the Thundercross! This is a deeply cushioned, aggressively lugged trail shoe that's been developed on a big mix of different terrains in the French Alps. I've been looking forward to trying these out for a while and today is the day. I'm grabbing the cameras, lacing up the Thundercross and hitting the Cornish trails.
Really hope you enjoy the video, thanks for watching, we'll see you in the next video and as always - stay safe and keep on running!

Thunder, Thunder, Thunder, Cross. Good review, looking forward to seeing them in the mud.
tested mine out for the first time today - straight out the box and did a gent,y 7 mile trail jog, gravel, tree stumps, grass, tarmac. Loved them I have to say - no hot spots rubbing or blisters, they really were comfy for me, loved them. I am off to Lake District in a couple of weeks (reason why I brought them), hoping for a bit of rain to test in the wet and rough as possible trails. I gave them a 9/10. Another great vid - thank you - love popping in to this channel to see whats new and happening.
Looking forward to getting these. Thank you Loyd for a super review 👍🏽🌟👍🏽
Been waiting for a review on these for a long time! Glad you enjoyed them. I think on paper these tick all the boxes for my long trail runs. I'm currently running the speedgoat 4 and find myself wanting something a little more nimble for the technical sections whilst still keeping the cushion. Will wait for the full review!
If I only bought shoes based on how they look, I’d be ordering this immediately! 😄 Love the 80s looking colourway. I look forward to checking these out in a few months when the weather turns autumnal.
*clears throat* _ thunder, Thunder, THUNDERCROSS!!!!!!!! Great review, this one looks interesting.
Is this finally the Salomon shoe to fit my feet? Nothing puts me off a brand more than to hear their shoes tend to fit narrow, but this has potential. Not sure about this colourway, and the one currently on the Salomon website is a pretty boring black and navy…so hopefully something better comes out later. Once again, the women’s version is much nicer…seems to happen a lot. Nice review, Loyd. 👋
The most famous physical therapists on the internet are sponsoring videos now?! Good for them! They are a great resource to use once you get your massage gun.
just come back from the Lake District yesterday (only took 34hrs to get home ) took these bad boys with only a mile walking to town in them - wet grass/mud/rocks/boulders - did it all in all conditions and not once did I have an issues in the 4 days I spent in the mountains - traction was excellent, no hot spots/blisters. With Salomon selling mostly narrow feet shoes I was surprised how much room I had - as usual a half size up from 9. Yes I am a very happy, even more so when I spent sometime online and found them for a bargain £98.. I have been using Ultra Glide 2 but they have been demoted to 2nd pair as these Thundercross will now be my go too shoes for trails:)
Hey Loyd.
Bit behind on watching this anticipated video. Interesting, but will be waiting for the autumnal trail test, as this looks like a decent purchase for UK trails in the wet conditions. Keep up the great work 👊🏻
I think the Thundercat will be a pretty good option in the wetter, muddy months 👍
Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment it's appreciated 🙏
Thanks för the video. Have ordered the Thundercross in black now! 😊 / Sweden
No worries Daniel, hope you enjoy them 👍😊
Love to see a Rift vs Thundercross comparison
Loved the Thundercats.... 😉
Look ideal for winter training here in North Wales as I train for my first ever Trail Marathon Wales next year
Another great review, thanks Lloyd. After my Insta comments about the name I’m now excited about a Salomon shoe with a roomier fit, Perhaps I might get to be a Thunder Cat. 😂
Thanks very much, really glad you Enjoyed my Thundercat review 😜
Thanks for watching 🙏
Finally a wider last lower drop Salomon - very promising and interesting…
Thanks for the review, had been waiting to see what you thought of it as it seems to pull all the best bits from their range together into one, a no-brainier on paper?! Seems daft, but the only thing stopping me having a pair already is the atrocious single colourway option!! 😖🤦♂️
Looks like a versatile shoe Loyd. Given the tight weave, was it breathable?
Hey Loyd! Just wondering if you ever did any additional testing with the Thundercross. Salomon currently has this colorway reduced to $105 (US) so I picked up a pair. Thanks for the awesome content. Cheers!
Looks good,let’s hope it’s more stable than the speedcross.
The feeling vs the saucony Peregrine 13/ Xodus ultra 2?
Been looking for reviews of this for a while. I’d chosen the UG2 as my shoe for the CCC this year but was wondering if id be better taking something grippier in case of bad weather. The UG is pretty perfect apart from not having huge amounts of traction so really promising to hear about the love child that is the Thundercross. Might be enough to take a punt on.
I would always take a grippier shoe out to UTMB Alex just incase you do have bad weather for the race. If you do get a lot of rain on the race the CCC route can get very slippy. Hope this helps and see you Chamonix 🏃♂️⛰️
@@Run4Adventure thanks. Been deliberating shoe choice for a while, having never been out there on the trails. See you in Chamonix.
Based on the stats and the looks of the lugs, this kinda looks like a Salomon Peregrine.
Great review ! Can we say that it’s a UG2 with more grip ?
I'd say, that's exactly what it is Simon 👍
Really glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for watching the channel 😊
Thunder, thunder, thunder cross …hooooh!🗡️😂
I actually like the colour way! Where did you get this Loyd? Their website only seems to offer a much more boring colour way (here in the Netherlands). Cheers!
This is the color Salomon sent out to reviewers. It might be an early production run as they showed that at last year's "The Running Event" trade show or they'll release it once the Thundercross is available at retailers.
Hi do you recommend sizing up for the thundercross? I usually wear a 10.5 but wondering whether I shud get an 11 or stick to 10.5. As a lot of reviews mention the toe box is very big and roomy. Please advise thank you
I went up half a size to a uk10 and the Thundercross fits great. I wouldn't say it's wide fitting, it's a Salomon shoe at the end of the day and their shoes are pretty narrow. Hope this helps and thanks for watching 👍
Where are you running? Looks stunning.
I'm running on the Hayle Towans in Cornwall, it's a beautiful place with amazing trails 👍😊
Im a beginner planning on completing the spartan race trifecta and im torn between the speed cross 6 and thundercross. What do you suggest i go for? Or do you recommend any other shoe?
I'm really not a fan of the Speedcross, I personally think the Thundercat is a much better shoe. Hope this helps Chris, thanks for watching 🙏😊
Ive had the speed cross 6 for half a year its my favorite trail runner. I run in metro boston trails alot of wet rocks, roots, pine needle and leaves on trails. If your sprinting intervals like me speedcross 6 grip is unbeatable. If your feet arent conditioned for all the wierd angles from the rocks and roots it may not be shoe trail shoe for you
I twisted my ankle mildly and tripped a few times when using SC 5 downhill on mixed rock dirt trail.
I've actually found the SC6 to feel quite slippy on wet rock! Salomon contigrp rubber isn't as good as Vibram megagrip on wet rock 👍
I'm not sure you've watch a lot of content on the channel but my feet are definitely conditioned for uneven ground, rocks and roots. I tend to run long distance and not sprints so the SC6 doesn't offer enough cushioning or underfoot protection for me. Also the 10mm heel off set can make them feel very unstable on some terrain. Out of interest, what other trail shoes have you tried? 👍
@@Run4Adventure the speedcross is not a shoe for more than 5-10k regularly. I do sprint intervals for 5-10kish. So im only out 2-4hours hours a couple times a weekon tricky terrain im very familiar with. For me i found myself unsure of the hard fast foot placement with that huge undersoul. I dont like most trail runners as like you said they are well cushioned. I found most trail runners ive tried are not trail runners but trail joggers🤣🤣🤣. I prefer a shoe closer to a cleat (as i grew up wearing baseball, football, soccer cleats) without the carbon plate or big undersoul like most trail runners.The drop is also too much for you distance guys but for sprinting your digging theheel in the terrain with signifigant force. I had hoka spg3, altas, asics, nike. I ran track and highschool and i grew up trail running and hiking in pre adolescence here in new england im now 41 so ive been doing this over 30 years🤣🤣🤣. Our trails are loose ground mixed with large roots and rocks. We dont have much compacted dirt terrain here.... for me i dont like the bright colors either. If its not black or a natural color of the terrain here i wont by it🤣🤣🤣
@@Run4Adventure i think its awesome you travel and do the endurance runs like you do. Awesome channel btw!
@@Brynden-Rivers Thanks Brynden, that's really appreciated. Would love to come out to your neck of the woods for a race one day! 🙏😊
Hi, thanks for video. I decided between SC 6 and thundercross. From reviews and videos - we have winner thundercat 😊. Unfortunately, today i found another player - slab genesis. Can you write a word about such a comparison?
I personally think the Thundercross is a much better shoe than the Speedcross. However the S/Lab Genesis is a lovely shoe to run in. The Thundercross is a lot cheaper and it would give you more grip on muddy conditions than the Genesis. Hope this helps and thanks for watching 🙏😊
Loyd
Salomon Thundercross Gore-Tex vs Merrell Agility Peak 5 Gore-Tex ? These are two great shoes and which one should I buy?
interested in this one as well. some reviews do complain of heal slip in get Peak 5
How do they perform on wet road? I want them for trails in my city´s hills however sometimes need to transition 2+ miles on standard road, also thinking about using them in winter on a snowy road instead of Hoka Challenger ATR7, what do you guys think? Thanks
I haven’t had any issues running short sections of wet road in the Wildcross. The only thing I would mention is if you’re doing that kind of distance on the road in them regularly you will wear the lugs down a lot quicker 🤔
I think this might be a shoe for me but I really don't like the colours. The womens version is much better looking but their biggest size is just a tad small for me. I hope they release some nicer colours later in the year, in time for autumn mud.
Hey Loyd, what is your longterm opinion about the thundercross?
I think they're a good winter shoe Karl if you like Salomon shoes 👍
Hope this helps and thanks for watching 🙏
@@Run4Adventure thank you and thanks for your content
@@KarlKalson No worries Karl, thanks for watching 👍😊
Do you think this would be suitable for AOA100?
I think the Wildhorse would work for the Arc 100 👍
Sc lacks stability when downhill esp in mixed rocky sand area.
Salomon Thundercat sounds better 🎉
Speedcross are in my opinion the best sub ultra race shoe. Not necessarily a fun shoe but full of utility. Hopefully these can give Salomon fans that everyday shoe that can deal with muddy slogs without breaking an ankle.😂 Love my Speedcross 6’s though. Ballet slipper crossed with a dirt bike tire.❤

Love the design, but not the colorways.
So, too many models from Solomon?
No, since they quit the sense 4 pro - low to the ground, light and nimble but still soft and cushioned! We don't need whole a lot of heavy numb rigid stability shoes that will twist our ankles on rocks, roots and slanted terrain.
I am currently looking for a replacement for sense 4 pro, which would ideally have more room for straight big toe and less slippery and water absorbing materials inside. S/lab pulsar is pretty good but it doesn't quite have the same confidence inspiring feel on technical terrain and doesn't drain that fast either.
My sense pro 4's are reaching end of life and haven't found a good replacement yet 😢
@@gijssmets5406 I have tried quite a few salomon shoes but none of them have been as good overall as sense 4 pro.
Slab ultra 3 v2: rigid, heavy and debris gets in the shoe through the holes on the sides on the tongue, doesn't drain good enough
Slab cross 2: good ground feel, precise fit, pretty flexible, good grip on soft ground. Still not quite as comfortable as sense 4 pro. Doesn't drain that well but feels good when soaking wet.
Slab Pulsar 2: light, fast and comfortable. Not quite as good as sense4pro on technical terrain due to the rocker midsole. Takes about 1km to drain - mid tier.
Slab sense 8: light, fast and nimble. Not that comfortable. Drains very well!
Pulsar trail pro: fast and comfortable. Not that nimble nor agile on technical terrain. Mid Tier drainage.
Sense ride 4: meh. Not that comfortable nor nimble or fast. Basic trail shoe. Soaks quite a lot water.
Wildcross: good feel on forefoot but heel is very wide and numb. Pretty heavy. Soaks quite a lot water.
Obviously I have replaced the ortholite insole in sense4pro
I would suggest you to try slab pulsar sg . It has many of s4pro's good qualities. Only lacking stability/agility on technical terrain (& slightly worse drainage) but on the other hand it runs easier and faster on smooth trails.
so the same compound on outsole as on ultraglide which gonna last 200 miles. nvm then ill pass on them
The ugliest shoe i have seen for a while 😄 Thanks for the review!
Mizuno Wave Sky 7
Cool shoe. Terrible music
Music is such a personal thing, I'm not sure it terrible, just not to your liking 👍😊
@@Run4Adventure true
If it doesnt come in black i wont buy it. I hate the colorful shoes. Its not my culture😂😂😂😂
In video ad is an automatic thumbs down 👎
Suddenly the use of massage gun and recommendations on usage. Lost all credibility.. Unsubscribed.
I'm really not sure why you feel like this and If you watched the whole video I actually linked into the massage gun segment. Now that we've gone full time with the channel it's paid promotions like this that actually make it possible. The income we receive from Google adsense isn't enough to live on and I've actually been topping up our monthly income using my savings so we can focus on the channel full time. I'm sorry you feel this way but we need to make a living, I'm sure when you go to work you get paid for it 🤔
First Like to Run4adventure. The speedcross is a legend's trail shoe. I don't want big max cushion. A nice monday for everyone. ⛰️🏃⛰️
nice review! and About the shoes, for me, thundercross design looks too normal... SC6 is way better look
The Thundercross offers more width than the Speedcross 6👍
I agree, it's not the best looking shoe in this odd colourway 🤔
Thanks for watching 🙏
