Originally from Bosnia and Herzegovina, Mladen Solomun, or just his stage name Solomun, has been touring the international House EDM scene. Using his inspiration from R&B, Funk, Disco and 80s pop music; he infuses powerful vocals into House music to create something truly unique.

While he has played a lot of fairly large venues, he is in his element the best inside of dance clubs. Usually set up on the stage, he has his table set up, and the lighting comes from the light fixture that spells out his name right above his table. As he spins, he is dancing, just like everyone else in the club. He does allow people around him as he spins, and is clearly having a party. His transitions are flawless, smoothly flowing from one track to the next without having your dance party interrupted. Every so often he will even have a guest come spin with him on stage. He balances his sets with a mix of remixes of songs that he has done, as well as original songs that he produced. He doesn’t speak much, but it’s not necessary for him to, since the focus is on the tracks that he is spinning.

Salomon MTN Summit Touring Boot 2022 – 2023 | Review

The veloce range from dalbello offers best in class comfort with a range of flex ratings to work for all skiers from intermediate to expert.

Why we chose the Salomon MTN Summit: Lightweight yet powerful, comfortable

Flex : 110 Last : 100 mm Cuff Range : 75° Forward Lean : 13° or 16° Binding Compatibility : Tech bindings only Weight (per boot) : 1,050g Price : £680 / 750€

Coming in at a weight of 1,050 grams per boot, with a 110 flex rating, and sporting a walk mode that’s not far from feeling like a hiking boot, the Salomon MTN Summit is yet another contender entering the ring in the 1,000 gram touring boot showdown.

The Salomon MTN sits within Salomon’s new and updated MTN boot range. Just like the ski range that shares the same name, the MTN boot range has been designed to be as efficient (read: lightweight and easy touring) as possible, while still being able to drive wide (for touring) skis with confidence through a range of conditions.

“Sporting a walk mode that’s not far from feeling like a hiking boot”

You’ve got the choice between three different men’s MTN boots and two for women. These boots range between 90 – 110 on the flex ratings with a mixture of plastics used. Otherwise they all keep a similar 100 mm last, buckle orientation and efficient walk mode.

This MTN Summit boot comes in at the top end of this lineup, with a strong flex pattern and slipper-like touring comfort. Let’s take a look at the build and features that allow Salomon to reach this goldilocks level of performance and weight.

Salomon MTN Summit Build

First things to note is the construction of the boot. The Salomon MTN Summit has been built using a hybrid mix of plastics in the upper and lower shells. For the lower, Salomon has opted for Ultramid. The cuff also makes use of Ultramid, but has been reinforced with Salomon’s Carbon Spine.

This Carbon Spine, Salomon claims, creates a solid connection between the cuff and the lower. This solid connection combines with the responsive Ultramid material to give you a consistent flex that manages to uphold a good deal of progressiveness the further you flex into the boot cuff.

Taking a look at the buckle layout, Salomon has opted towards the use of a BOA system that closes up over the instep. First of all, hats off to Salomon for popping the BOA dial on the top of the boot to save it from any day-ruining damage from bootpacking .

Secondly, Salomon has tied up the BOA cable in a neat way. Not only does the cable tighten directly over the midfoot and forefoot, but it also cinches in a plastic tab that sits directly over the instep, giving you some much needed heel hold when you’re touring and cranking these into a ski turn.

A large 70 mm buckled powerstrap closes down the powerful cuff while also offering a quick and easy loosen for when you’re in walk mode. Speaking of the walk mode, this can easily be switched via Salomon’s SureLock mechanism that’s been borrowed from the original MTN boot.

We’ve always been a fan of this mechanism as it’s simple and pretty sleek with a slim buckle exposed on the outside, meaning there’s less to catch (and potentially break) while you’re scrambling through rocky terrain.

Salomon MTN Summit Fit

Salomon has opted for a medium (100 mm) last width for this boot. We found it offered comfort right out of the box and, thanks to the adjustable BOA over the instep, you could make simple tweaks on the fly; cranking the heel down for maximum downhill performance.

The walk mode was extremely comfortable – certainly one that we’d happily take out on long multi-day ski tours, while the 30% recycled outsole offered confidence-inspiring grip while bootpacking over rocky and icy terrain.

Who Is The Salomon MTN Summit For?

The Salomon MTN Summit, and the whole updated MTN range of boots for that matter, is going to suit a wide range of skiers. Their 100 mm last and smooth, yet not too burly, flex rating creates one of our favourite boots we’ve managed to slip our feet into this year. 

They might be on the heavier side of that 1,000 gram ski mountaineering boot category, but if you’re happy to carry up a few extra grams for a bit of extra downhill confidence, then you certainly can’t go wrong with the Salomon MTN Summit.

Salomon recently revealed their new Summit series of boots, which is the brand’s lightweight touring collection for the 22/23 season. We have the top-of-the-line S/Lab MTN Summit in for a review, and it comes with some impressive specs: <1200-g weight in a size 27.5, a reported 75° range of motion, stated flex of 120, and several other unique features.

As we discussed on our recent GEAR:30 podcast episode about 22/23 gear , many brands are expanding their offerings in the lighter, touring-specific class of boots, so as we spend more time on some of these boots, we’re looking forward to doing a bunch of direct comparisons. But in the meantime, here are some of our first observations about the design of the S/Lab MTN Summit.

Jonathan Ellsworth and I have both spent a few days in the 22/23 S/Lab MTN Summit, and we discuss our initial on-snow impressions in our recent Flash Review .

What Salomon Says about the S/Lab MTN Summit

This series was built with the help of Cody Townsend, and keen-eyed viewers of Cody’s Fifty Project may have spotted a prototype in the Summit Fever episode from Mt. St. Elias . The MTN Summit boots are designed to be the more uphill-friendly, less downhill-oriented alternatives to the Salomon S/Lab MTN and Shift Pro boots.

A notable aspect of the new MTN Summit series of boots is that they are all built with less environmentally harmful materials, including 40% recycled polyethylene in the liner, a shell and cuff built from 46% bio-sourced materials, and a full rubber sole that’s composed of 30% reground materials.

Salomon also makes a point of mentioning how the MTN Summit boots are “designed with durable and removable elements that make it easier to repair, recycle or replace,” rather than having to buy a new boot when certain parts wear out.

This shift to using more sustainable materials and construction methods in ski hardgoods is one we’re seeing across the industry, and it’s nice to see quantitative numbers on the exact percentage of recycled and bio-sourced materials being used. Salomon’s global product manager for alpine skis and boots, Quentin Boutry, says “all of the [22/23] skis and boots have been designed with sustainability in mind.” The new MTN Carbon & MTN Pro skis, which replace the venerable MTN Explore series, all feature “100 percent sustainable cork inlay, 30 percent recycled ABS, 80 percent recycled topsheet and a fully recycled base.”

The 22/23 Salomon MTN Summit Series

The MTN Summit series consists of five brand-new models, all featuring the same fit and construction, but with different flex patterns (the stiffest S/Lab version also gets an additional 25 mm power strap). All models are built with a similar recycled and bio-sourced materials composition. The S/Lab MTN Summit is offered in a unisex approach, with sizes ranging from 22.5-30. (All of Salomon’s top-of-the-line, stiffest boots will be offered down to a size 22.5 for 22/23, which is great to see.)

This lineup is comprised of five boots:

• S/Lab MTN Summit (MSRP: $799)
• MTN Summit Pro (MSRP: $699)
• MTN Summit Pro W (MSRP: $699)
• MTN Summit Pure (MSRP: $599)
• MTN Summit Pure W (MSRP: $599)

Weight & Comparisons

In the size 27.5 we have, the S/Lab MTN Summit comes in a bit below 1200 grams, which is a bit heavier than some of the lighter, reportedly softer options in the lightweight class, such as the Scarpa F1 LT. However, the S/Lab MTN Summit is still considerably lighter than more downhill-oriented “freeride touring” boots like the Atomic Hawx XTD series and the longstanding Salomon S/Lab MTN.

For reference, here are our measured weights (per boot, in grams) of several relevant boots in the same class as the S/Lab MTN Summit. We’ve also added the weight of the burlier Tecnica Zero G Tour Pro, Scarpa Maestrale XT Salomon S/Lab MTN, and Atomic Hawx Ultra XTD 130 to give an idea of the weight differences between the “lightweight touring” boots and the more downhill-oriented “freeride touring” boots.

988 & 991 Scarpa Alien RS , 28.0 (18/19–19/20) 1014 & 1023 Dynafit TLT Speedfit , 26.5 (18/19–19/20) 1064 & 1070 Fischer Travers Carbon , 27.5 (16/17–18/19) 1065 & 1069 Dynafit TLT 7 Performance , 28.5 (17/18–18/19) 1106 & 1101 Scarpa F1 LT , 28.0 (20/21–22/23) 1110 & 1114 Atomic Backland Carbon , 27.5 (19/20–21/22) 1178 & 1187 Salomon S/Lab MTN Summit, 27.5 (22/23) 1232 & 1232 Salomon S/Lab X-Alp , 27.5 (17/18–19/20) 1288 & 1286 Arc’teryx Procline Carbon Support , 27.5 (16/17–19/20) ~1310 (avg. weight) Scarpa F1, 28.0 (17/18–19/20) 1309 & 1311 Tecnica Zero G Tour Pro , 26.5 (18/19–22/23) 1505 & 1510 Scarpa Maestrale XT , 27.0 (19/20–22/23) 1545 & 1549 Salomon S/Lab MTN , 26.5 (15/16–22/23) 1557 & 1564 Atomic Hawx Ultra XTD 130, 26.5 (20/21–21/22)

Shell & Cuff Design

The S/Lab MTN Summit’s shell layout consists of (1) a heat-moldable Grilamid+ lower shell, (2) Pebax upper cuff, and (3) a carbon-reinforced “spine.” With its walk mechanism in ski mode, the cuff attaches to the spine, which is bolted to the lower shell. In walk mode, the cuff detaches from the spine, allowing for lots of range of motion. Covering the throat of the lower shell is a textile gaiter.

The S/Lab MTN Summit boot comes equipped with Salomon’s “Custom Fit Tour Light Liner,” which is heat-moldable. While it is positioned as a lightweight touring liner (and is in fact pretty light, at about 213 g per liner), it does have impressive foam density in the heel and ankle pocket (this is definitely the densest part of the liner). The tongue is held in place by two elastic straps over the instep right at the throat of the boot, where the gasket of the shell ends.

The liner has significant flex billows in the back, around 30 mm wide, positioned above the Achilles / below the calf.

The liner also has two straps for easy entry, both on the tongue and in the back near the top of the cuff, for picking up the boot and positioning the tongue while getting in the boot.

It is also worth noting that we’ve found this liner to be extremely easy to take in and out of the shell. This isn’t always the case for lightweight touring boots, especially those with softer fabric gaiters around the throat of the boot and/or flimsier liners. I’d chalk some of this up to the liner itself, as well as the slippery gaiter fabric.

Walk Mechanism

The MTN Summit boots have an external “Surelock” walk mechanism that’s very similar to the mechanism on the S/Lab MTN. Visually, this mechanism looks much more compact than the big external latch that’s become so common these days, but is still easy to open and close with gloves, thanks to a little pull tab. The mechanism is pulled laterally across the cuff, rather than the typical vertical mechanism featured on most touring boots. Same as on the original S/Lab MTN (previously called the MTN Lab), the S/Lab MTN Summit’s Surelock mechanism creates a solid-feeling connection to the carbon-reinforced spine that makes it very obvious when you’re in walk mode vs. ski mode.

This mechanism, combined with the S/Lab MTN Summit’s open-throated shell design, makes for a reported 75° of range of motion, which is right in line with most of the <1200-g boots and notably broader than most heavier boots.

The Surelock walk mechanism is attached to the cuff via rivets, so it might be challenging to service while in the field, though we have yet to have the walk mechanism break on our multiple pairs of the S/Lab MTN.

Adjustable Forward Lean

The MTN Summit boots come stock with 13.5° of forward lean but can be adjusted 3° forward (to 16.5°) by flipping the metal piece on the spine of the boot into which the Surelock piece slots.

Closure System

The MTN Summit series is built with Salomon’s new 6-point BOA closure system with a “touring belt” (a flexible elastic/rubber piece over the ankle) that’s adjusted via the BOA closure system across the ankle/instep area of the boot. The closure system starts behind the forefoot, and then moves across the instep, back towards the ankle, and then across the throat of the boot via the touring belt. This overall layout is similar to boots like the Scarpa F1 LT and 19/20–21/22 Atomic Backland, though the MTN Summit’s addition of the touring belt has the potential to make for a more locked-in fit through the ankle.

Above the BOA is a 45mm-wide velcro strap that is closed via an oversized buckle. The tightness of this buckle is altered by adjusting the velcro position, and then closing the buckle as the final tightening mechanism, which provides a good amount of leverage to cinch the cuff of the boot securely. It also makes it easy to loosen the cuff simply by opening the buckle and keeping the positioning of the velcro the same, though I think most people will want to loosen the velcro for extending skinning / walking.

Atop the larger velcro / buckle strap is a simple 25 mm velcro strap that serves as the power strap for the S/Lab version of the MTN Summit (the softer MTN Summit boots do not feature the extra strap). It sits atop where the shell meets the liner. It is also worth noting that it is affixed with two Phillips-head screws, for easy replacement.

Soles & Binding Compatibility

The S/Lab MTN Summit features Salomon’s Skywalk touring sole, which has a grippy, fairly soft rubber compound. The Winter Contagrip lug pattern has a pretty aggressive-looking, open tread. Between the tread and tackiness of the rubber, this seems well-built for walking in tough terrain. As mentioned above, this sole is built with 30 percent reground rubber material. Because this is a new material composition and it feels pretty soft and grippy, it will be interesting to see how it holds up over time.

The MTN Summit boots feature toe and heel welts for automatic crampon compatibility, but its sole is not norm-certified, so it can only be used with TLT “tech” / “pin bindings, such as the Salomon MTN Pure. It will not work with MNC bindings such as the Salomon Shift MNC.

Cuff Adjustment

While the MTN Summit boots don’t feature any built-in cuff adjustment, it is worth noting that the cuff attachments to the lower shell are all fully replaceable and serviceable parts, via a torx wrench. It also features a “Frictionless Pivot,” which we first saw in Atomic’s Backland series, wherein the pivot point is built with igus polymer bushings that aim to keep friction to a minimum, are self-lubricating, and are fully serviceable and replaceable when needed.

As always, this section comes with a major caveat: the only way to figure out if the MTN Summit will work for your feet is to go to a trusted bootfitter . And as we always say, fit is the most important factor when picking ski boots.

This also requires another temporary caveat, since Jonathan and I typically wear size 26.5 boots and we have the size 27.5 S/Lab MTN Summit. We’re shipping it up to Paul Forward (who typically wears a 27.5) so he’ll be able to say more about the fit in the future.

With all that said, a few things stand out with the fit of this boot. First and foremost is its toe box and forefoot, which feel notably roomy, especially for a boot with a stated last of 99 mm for a 26.5. Just looking down at the MTN Summit, its toe box looks notably more bulbous / less pointed than many touring boots, such as the Fischer TransAlp Pro. While fit is so subjective, a roomier toe box in a boot like this seems to make sense — long days of skinning / hiking often equate to a good bit of foot swelling.

Jonathan and I have both been able to get good ankle / heel hold in this boot, while the forefoot of the boot feels very roomy on my feet. I’d expect that, given it’s a size bigger than my usual, though the size 27.5’s 298 mm BSL did make me think it might feel a bit shorter and lower volume even in this bigger size.

We’ll leave it at that for now, but Paul will be providing more thoughts in our eventual full review.

Bottom Line (For Now)

After a brief hiatus, Salomon is back in the lightweight touring boot game, and the S/Lab MTN Summit is an interesting addition to this growing — and diversifying — category. It’s notably lighter and offers a larger stated range of motion than nearly all stiffer boots, yet it’s got a stated flex that’s stiffer than many of the similarly light and lighter options.

15 comments on “2022-2023 Salomon S/Lab MTN Summit”

The Fiddle Factor seems pretty big same as with the Lt regarding the whole buckle fuckery goin’ on up there on the cuff….the new backland carbon looks way slicker and with bomber buckles up and down on the boot…i think for its stated weight by far the burliest boot in the now crowded class of sub1300 gram touring boots in ’23…

Seems like a tall order for that boa dial to apply adequate tension to six different attachment points.

Why the hell is it so hard for boot companies to figure out that this type of velcro buckle system is a pain in the ass unless you make it have enough “throw” to make them actually loose enough to allow full range of motion for touring, like the La Sportiva Skorpius? Its supposed to make the transition easier, but it actually makes it harder…

Yes. They all failed in that regard, including Scarpa F1 and F1 LT. One exception that I know of (since I have them) is Fischer Travers. They incorporated a large slider mechanism in their buckle that you don’t have to loosen the velcro in transition.

@Justin. Nothing like calling out something that you have yet to try. But it looks like (even went through the trouble of overlaying them in Ai using known geometries, like the frictionless pivot, for scale) the MTN summit should resolve the F1 strap problem. The the pivots on the buckle are further away from each other than the F1, giving more change in length when the lever is thrown.

So we had the Year of Ellsworth, is this going to be the year of naming products after Blister primo event?

Cody – I get what you’re saying, and sorry if I come off as an ass. Assuming this is Cody Townsend obviously you were a big part of the creation of this boot. But I was responding to the article above where it says “though I think most people will want to loosen the velcro for extending skinning / walking.” I’m psyched to check the boot out when possible as I’m hoping it would be what I’ve been waiting for.

The Wildsnow review that just went up specifically mentioned undoing the Velcro strap to adjust for the descent, so perhaps the buckle throw is good but not quite enough? At any rate, the StrapOff might be the solution.

Super interested in these. Anyone at Salomon or other retailers have any idea when these might be available for purchase?

Did anyone who was actually in the right size boot for them ever get to try these for some time and give us some feedback?

La Sportiva Skorpius is the only boot that is well enough designed in this class imao…closed System, better walkmech, better buckles, way better soles, nice comfy last for All day outings, tr2 modded (which is fukken awesome since the tr2 might still be the best at binding after all those what 10 years+!?!?!), better boa Integration, better plastics, better liner, better tongue, better Inserts, italian blingbling style …way better skiability with 100 gram more und 5 degree less ROM ..so probably the MOST UNDERRATED AT BOOT EVER??? THIS salomon is by many regarded as the holy grail of at boots but its def NOT a gamechanger…the skorpius is fukken close though imao

I have a pair of these boots for the 22/23 season, but I haven’t had a chance to ski them yet so I can only comment on a few things. First, I have three other pairs of Salomon boots including the previous S/LAB MTN, and I always wear a 27.5 in Salomon boots. But I had to go up 1/2 size in this boot to a 28. My toes were too close to the end and I knew I would have troubles. So, if you order online, you might take this into consideration.

The range of motion is fantastic. I have a pair of Technica Zero G Pros that I use consistently and I love the boot, but the Salomon has way more range of motion even with the velcro buckle system cinched down.

It feels like the boot will be plenty stiff on the downhill to drive a ski up to 100 mm waist (or maybe a bit more). Maybe not quite a powerful as the Zero G Pros. I plan on using them with the new Salomon MTN Carbon 96 skis and I think it will be a very nimble yet powerful setup.

Really nice design. Easy to get in and out of (way better than my Zero Gs) and comfortable. I’m hoping for better warmth than the Zero Gs.

That’s all I got until I ski them.

Tried on a pair last night. Salomon got a lot of stuff right here. – Love the smooth facing material inside the liner. Very easy to slip these on and off – VERY generous toe box, at last! (Pardon the pun.) Salomon AT boots have always felt very pointy in the toe box. The Summit is wonderfully roomy. – *double checking the weight* Wow, it’s really light at <1200 g.

This is not a hybrid boot: it's not MNC and won't work with Shifts or anything but tech bindings. But it flexes smoothly. Everything else I've tried in this weight class has a painful / hinge-y flex due to skimpy cuff designs partnered with carbon. This boot feels pretty soft, but for its purpose, it flexes perfectly IMO.

Oh also: my main concern for this boot is durability. Recycled materials are a great idea – will this boot hold up to mountaineering abuse? Time will tell. I’d love to see a boot maker offer a rugged sole that could be swapped with home tools.

I’ve noticed the trend of more unisex touring boots popping up on the market instead of gender-specific models. Any comment on how truly unisex these are? Are they shaped differently than a boot marketed to men? Or are they just a men’s boot that they’ve sized down to a 22 mondo?

The Cult add extra London show to 2024 UK anniversary tour

It comes after the band announced a 40th-anniversary tour earlier this month

The Cult have added an extra London show to their upcoming anniversary tour. Check out ticket details below.

The announcement comes just days after the rock icons announced details of an upcoming UK tour for the end of 2024 – which will see them celebrate 40 years as a band.

Upcoming shows will be held in 10 cities across the country, and mark the milestone anniversary of Ian Astbury and co. coming together as we recognise them today – swapping their name from the original title ‘Death Cult’ into ‘The Cult’.

Now, following the initial date at London’s Royal Albert Hall selling out, the band have announced details of a second show in the UK capital, this time held at the Roundhouse venue in Camden.

The date is added as an extension to the original run of shows and will take place on Tuesday, November 5 – the day after the Royal Albert Hall gig. Tickets are available now and you can check out an updated itinerary for the UK shows below.

The Cult 2024 updated tour dates are:

OCTOBER 21 – Leicester, De Montfort Hall 22– Swansea, Swansea Arena  24 – Edinburgh, Usher Hall [SOLD OUT] 25 – Manchester, O2 Apollo 27 – Bristol, Beacon [LOW TICKETS]  29 – York, Barbican 30 – Newcastle, O2 City Hall      

Recommended

NOVEMBER: 1 – Portsmouth, Guildhall 2 – Wolverhampton, Civic Hall 4 – London, Royal Albert Hall [SOLD OUT] 5 – London, Roundhouse

The dates for 2024 come following a tour the band embarked on last year, celebrating 40 years since their first formation under the name ‘Death Cult’ .

Taking place around the UK, Ireland and the US, the tour was called ‘Death Cult 8323’ and saw Duffy and Astbury return to play iconic venues they previously performed in at the start of their career.

The live shows focused on Death Cult and their eponymous EPs, and also boasted a setlist that spanned “the three phases of the band, from Southern Death Cult, to Death Cult, and The Cult’s first two albums: ‘Dreamtime’ (1984) and ‘Love’ (1985).”

Announcing the new run of dates, guitarist Billy Duffy said: “Following up from the great energy of ‘Death Cult 8323’ shows, I’m looking forward to bringing that sense of celebration of the band’s music, and the communion with our fans, to ‘Cult 8424’… CFFC. Let the ceremony commence!”

More recently, Billy Duffy joined Johnny Marr on stage in Frome last summer to play tracks by The Smiths and Depeche Mode .

In 2019, Kygo unleashed “Higher Love” with Whitney Houston and generated another 1.4 billion combined streams/views worldwide and peaked at #1 on Dance Radio, in addition to leaving his imprint on a classic.

He heralded his 2020 critically acclaimed third full-length album Golden Hour [Sony Music International/Ultra Records/RCA Records] with the anthems “Like It Is” (feat. Zara Larsson & Tyga), “Lose Somebody” (with OneRepublic), and “I’ll Wait” (feat. Sasha Alex Sloan). The album has garnered over 2.6 billion streams worldwide. Following Golden Hour , Kygo released his remix of Tina Turner’s “What’s Love Got To Do With It” and Donna Summer’s “Hot Stuff” to rave reviews. In 2022, after headlining Lollapalooza and Life Is Beautiful, along with sold-out headlining shows at Madison Square Garden and Oslo’s Ullevaal Stadion, Kygo surprised fans with the release of his fourth album Thrill Of The Chase [RCA Records]. The album featured notable singles including “Dancing Feet” (feat. DNCE), “Woke Up In Love” (with Gryffin feat. Calum Scott), and “Never Really Loved Me” (feat. Dean Lewis), amassing over 1 billion streams worldwide and debuting in the Top 5 on the Billboard Top Dance/Electronic Albums Chart.

Noah Cyrus Blasts Troll with NSFW Comment After Family Love Triangle Joke

Bam margera addresses uk tour cancelation drama, adamant he's sober, bam margera addresses uk tour cancelation drama ... adamant he's sober.

Bam Margera 's clearing the air about why his UK tour got the axe -- and while some have suspected it's all about him falling off the wagon ... he's saying he's clean and sober.

Here's the deal ... Bam's been across the pond lately for a string of Q&A gigs he'd booked through a promoter -- where he was scheduled to talk to audiences ... all of which recently came to a screeching halt after the peeps he was working with announced the rest of his appearances were cancelled.

There's been a lot of accusations and drama brewing in the background this past week -- with allegations that Bam was acting erratic and rolling with a new crew of misfits.

Some online -- especially on Reddit -- have been claiming Bam's been indulging in booze and drugs again ... but he hopped online Thursday to deny all that, insisting not only is he alcohol-free ... but he had a perfectly good reason for canceling his shows in the UK.

Long story short ... Bam says he re-injured his knee, and that these shows are gonna get rebooked -- so it's no harm, no foul in his mind.

He does allude to some kind of physical confrontation between the people Bam's been staying with and the promoters ... but he says he wasn't in the mix for that -- so he doesn't think he did anything wrong. He also acknowledges he and his girlfriend have been fighting.

Last but not least ... Bam shoots down any notion he's been under the influence lately, pointing to the fact he's drinking tea in the video. Remember, this comes not too long after he got into a fistfight on the street here in L.A. ... so, thing have been a bit tumultuous.

Despite all that ... Bam is insisting everything's A-OK -- although, hard to say if folks buy it.

Here's hoping all is, in fact, well -- because there are many who are pretty worried about him.

7 Best Salomon Trail Running Shoes in 2024

If you want to venture into the great outdoors, it’s unquestioned - Salomon is THE brand for trail runners.

Salomon trail shoes are not only extremely durable — they’re ready to eat up the gnarly terrain. Whether it’s a grippy, waterproof, supportive, or protective shoe you’re after, these trail runners won’t disappoint you. 

Choosing out of the many Salomon trail shoes can take forever. And we literally owned the job to make everything easy-breezy for you. We have exhaustively tested trail running shoes from Salomon and evaluated which ones are worth your time and money. From different categories, we’ve handpicked shoes we’re confident can swallow miles on the trails.

How we test trail running shoes

Your browser does not support the video tag.

Because we dislike marketing fluff so much, we buy the Salomon trail shoes we test with our own money. This allows us to be as transparent as possible. 

And because we like to nitpick so much, we also take the time to do the following: 

• Run in each shoe for 30-50 miles. We take them to rail trails, hiking trails, backpacking trails, bridle paths, and others just to thoroughly assess the shoes in different settings.
• Slice them into pieces in our own shoe testing lab . Not a single detail can hide from us. We gotta see all the components of the shoes, may they be large or tiny.
• Measure them via 30 different parameters like flexibility, strength, breathability, etc. We then interpret the results in a simple and understandable manner, for the reader's easy consumption.

Best Salomon trail running shoes overall

What makes it the best?

Speedcross 6 ranked first among Salomon trail running shoes in our lab and actual trail runs because of its exceptional grip, supportive platform, and flexible build. It enhances our agility and stimulates fast-paced adventures. We find it very well-suited for muddy encounters and cold weather.

Starting from the bottom, Speedcross 6 has the highly-trusted Contagrip compound for its outsole. On foot, it feels very protective and durable as confirmed by our 93.9 HC durometer measurement. This is one of the highest readings we've recorded. To ensure traction, it has 5.8 mm deep lugs, widely spaced for shedding off dirt. This is 2.3 mm deeper than average, which gives a stronger bite on muddy terrains. 

The midsole feels firm, enhancing ground sensitivity. Our durometer registers a 34.4 HA measurement, 28.8% tougher than average. This improves our sense of balance by keeping us steady even on sharp turns. It flares out in the heel for extra support while the insole is curved so that our feet are inside the midsole, not on top of it.

Thankfully, the ride doesn’t feel rigid and uncomfortable. In our bend test, Speedcross stands 40.1% more flexible than average. This makes it comfortable enough for longer trail runs and even walks.

What feels uncomfortable is wearing this pair in warm weather. With its impenetrable upper, we gave it a low 1/5 on our lab breathability test. 

• Superior traction on wet, technical trails
• Ideal for heel strikers
• Impressive durability
• Quick mud shedding ability
• Lightest Speedcross yet
• Secure lockdown with QuickLace system
• Enhanced ground feel in the forefoot
• Agile and responsive in fast corners
• Midsole feels like concrete
• Extremely poor breathability
• Not suitable for midfoot and forefoot strikers

Best Salomon trail shoes for daily running

The Salomon Pulsar Trail is a tremendously great all-around trail running shoe that’s capable of doing most, if not all, trail runs. We put it through a ton of different distances and terrains and it was absolutely amazing. It is a grippy and durable, speedy and light trail shoe that sits at the top of the pile for the best Salomon trail running shoes for daily running.

The Salomon Pulsar Trail, with its Contagrip outsole, is extremely durable and grippy. It gave us confidence when running on trails, even when on more technical trails. We’ve run our fair share of trails in these shoes and it remains unscathed. In fact, these shoes are going strong with no signs of premature damage.

Running fast in the Pulsar Trail comes almost naturally. It is very energetic and we loved it because it did not turn out to be yet another dull trail shoe. We felt like we were being propelled forward, thanks to its rocker design.

Even with a firm but protective midsole, the Pulsar Trail remains lighter than we expected it to be. In fact, it feels almost weightless even on longer trail runs.

The Pulsar trail has a plush upper but it is not very breathable. Runners looking for a summer-ready trail shoe might want to look elsewhere.

• Stable and protective ride
• Versatile for occasional road use
• Enhanced heel lockdown
• Robust durability
• Suitable for all footstrikes
• Good breathability in the toebox
• Fairly priced at £140
• Not suitable for wet terrain
• Slightly on the heavier side

Best Salomon road-to-trail running shoes

Salomon’s Sense Ride 5 delivers a seamless shift from the streets to beaten paths without ruining our momentum. It’s got the grip for moderate trails, a soft cushion for protection and a flexible platform that keeps us agile. This makes it our top road-to-trail shoe from Salomon’s trail lineup.

This hybrid shoe handles daily mileage to occasional speedwork with ease. Its Contagrip rubber outsole and 3.5 mm diamond-shaped lugs work wonders on slightly wet surfaces and moderate trails. We have no worries transitioning to a different pavement as SR5 keeps us steady.

Running many miles won’t be a problem with the protective foam, which our durometer measured to be 25.2% softer than the average trail shoe. It holds a below-average stack, keeping a low-to-the-ground profile, which is ideal for trail shoes. Combined with a flexible platform, we feel more in control as the unopposing midsole flows with our movements. Our flex test confirms the SR5 falls around the average of trail shoes.

The forefoot stack is 5.7 mm thinner than average, meaning there’s less foam to absorb the landing impact of midfoot-to-forefoot strikers.

• Immaculate lockdown
• Good responsiveness
• Plenty of ground feel
• Confident on moderate trails and steep downhills
• Smooth and stable ride
• Can hold its own for speedwork
• Comfy and breathable upper
• Best for daily miles, longer efforts, and even road runs!
• Forget about hard trails
• Thin under forefoot
• Runs a little bit narrow

Best Salomon trail shoes for running ultras

We glided through ultras in Salomon’s Ultra Glide 2. Its soft platform, light and flexible nature, and stable traction all work together to make endurance runs more bearable and enjoyable. Our lab and run testers agree this Salomon trail running shoe is best for ultras.

Running long hours on off the beaten paths isn't a problem with UG2’s cloud-like nature — soft and light. It oozes a heavenly sensation that protects our legs from fatigue. Our durometer measurement validates this: 34.3% softer than the average trail shoe. It’s lighter on the feet at 10.1 oz (286g) vs. the average 10.4 oz (296g). We could run fast without toppling over since its stack height sits below average, giving us a better ground feel.

Keeping us in control is its easy-to-maneuver midsole. We could move quickly on moderately technical trails as the shoe adapts to our movements. Counterchecking with our flex test, we confirm it’s 33.4% more flexible than average.

UG2 gives enough grip to perform well on different surfaces, performing best on dry surfaces and moderate trails. It has 2.8 mm lugs on its Contagrip rubber outsole, keeping our runs stable.

We recommend steering clear of hard, rocky terrains as the 1.6 mm outsole might not be thick and durable enough to protect our feet.

• Breathable upper
• One heck of a lockdown
• Soft and protective cushioning
• Good energy return
• Very smooth, fun ride
• Comfy for roads, good traction on moderately technical trails
• Outstanding for daily miles and (very) long runs
• Also works for faster efforts
• Poor outsole durability
• Using lace garage can get frustrating
• Long tongue has a tendency to cause some rubbing
• Maybe too narrow for some

Salomon trail running shoes with the best durability

The Salomon XA Pro 3D V9 has a robust and protective construction that can easily handle trail running, hiking, backpacking, and road running. Actual trail adventures and extensive lab tests show it has excellent defense all around, reliable grip, and sturdy support—making it our most durable Salomon trail running shoe.

The Contagrip outsole effortlessly dominates all types of surfaces. No need for tougher rubber and lug depth to enhance its performance. Despite having slightly below-average measurements of 83.1 HC and 2.8 mm, we had no issues with traction and premature wear on sand, snow, and rocks.

The firm midsole serves as another line of defense—shielding our feet from sharp debris and keeping the ride stable. Our durometer confirms it’s denser than the average trail shoe by 17.9%. The foam won't bottom out even if we’re loaded with heavy backpacks. The 3D chassis technology also protects us from excessive lateral movements that may lead to injuries.

The upper serves as our armor against both heat and debris. On our breathability test, it earned a remarkable 4/5, proving its ventilation. It also resisted impressively against our brutal Dremel, receiving a well-deserved 5/5.

Unfortunately, it was difficult to be fast and agile with its monstrous build. Tipping the scales to 12.2 oz (346g), it’s 1.8 oz (52g) heavier than the average trail shoe.

• Tank-like foot protection
• Incredibly stable and supportive ride
• Excellent traction on mixed or rocky trails
• Great hiking/backpacking companion
• Relatively flexible despite 3D chassis
• Effectively dampens landings
• Generously padded and comfortable
• No chance of lace bite
• Durable and high-quality construction
• Eye-catching design
• A little heavy
• Stiff upper needs breaking in
• Cushioning on the firm side
• Not nimble enough for technical trails

Best Salomon trail running shoes with Gore-Tex

Our excursions reveal the XA Pro 3D v9 GTX is Salomon’s top Gore-Tex trail runner, and our lab results agree! It’s a well-designed and functional waterproof shoe offering steadfast all-around protection and unmatched stability through its 3D chassis.

Wrapped in the trusty Gore-Tex membrane, it has exceptional waterproofing. Our permeability test in the lab shows the smoke barely passed through—even the light was blocked out! In our trail runs, we had no troubles with rain, cold weather, and below-the-ankle river crossings.

This trail master also acts as a shield from various threats and obstacles. Aside from the solid upper, it has a robust toe bumper that acts as a rock plate. Underfoot, the firm midsole protects us from sharp rocks and roots and maintains our balance on uneven terrains. Further reinforcing stability is the 3D chassis that resists unwanted ankle twists and excessive lateral movements.

The ‘Contagrip’ outsole, along with the 2.8 mm deep lugs, deliver the defense and traction we need on most surfaces. It grips even wet rocks and loose sand thanks to its lug pattern.

Due to the protection it brings, this beefy monster is a hefty trail shoe. It rides like a hiking shoe, dragging us down during speedier runs. Our scales reveal its 12.7 oz (359g) weight is 22.1% heavier than average.

• Incredibly protective
• Extremely stable and supportive
• Great traction even on wet surfaces
• Watertight Gore-Tex upper
• Flexible and forgiving on the foot
• Makes a great hiking companion
• Generously padded from heel to tongue
• No lace bite whatsoever
• Durable, high-quality construction
• Simple yet snazzy design
• Could be lighter
• Rather firm cushioning
• Upper needs breaking in
• Lacks the agility for technical trails

Salomon trail running shoes with the best versatility

Salomon Genesis is all about ensuring comfort mile after mile with its premium MATRYX upper, balanced cushioning, and stable ride. Given its light and loose build, it’s a trail workhorse that effortlessly handles quick easy runs to brutal ultra-distances. Among Salomon’s trail roster in our lab, Genesis excels in versatility.

The in-shoe experience feels comfortably cushioned without feeling bulky. The heel boasts a 33.5 mm stack, balancing plushness with agility. Because of this, Genesis weighs satisfyingly below the 10-oz mark at 9.95 oz (282g). Adding to our nimbleness is its fluid midsole that bends freely to our demands. As our flex test confirms, it’s 26.4% more adaptive than average.

Conquering long miles felt like a breeze since the shoe’s support system prevented the early onset of leg fatigue. Salomon’s Active Chassis technology comes to life, serving as our guide by placing two rigid plastic pieces on each side of the shoe’s exterior. Further boosting our control over our footwork is the 4.0 mm multi-shaped lugs, effectively braking and turning as we please.

What keeps the Genesis a cozy space is the well-ventilated and durable MATRYX upper, scoring a high 4/5 on both our breathability and Dremel tests—a remarkable and rare achievement.

However, the outsole falls short on durability. We recommend avoiding rocky and harsh terrains to prevent premature wear.

• Premium MATRYX upper
• Great for summer adventures
• Comfortable for long distances
• Perfect for heel strikers
• Reasonably priced
• Smooth and flexible ride
• Super stable
• Missing reflective elements
• Outsole wears quickly
• Drop too high for some
