Salomon Cross/Pro

We’re always a bit skeptical about “hybrid” products as there’s always some risk that what you end up with is something that can be used for multiple purposes but is only so-so at any of them. Thankfully, this isn’t the case with the Salomon Cross/Pro, a true trail chameleon that offers lightweight, energy-returning responsiveness for trail running, while also providing the support, tread, and underfoot protection needed for hiking or fastpacking. The one-of-a-kind shoe has a moderate 8mm drop, employs a weight-reducing QuickLace system, and marries a seamless, water-repellent, 4-way stretch upper to a toothy high-traction outsole. It also utilizes an energy-returning midsole compound to provide cushioning for long runs and day after day of extended miles.

Best Use: Hiking and Running/Fitness
