Product Reviews

 


Salomon Exo Calf guards -These do exactly what they say on the tin! Run easier, longer & recover better. The EXO technology calf supports that improve performance and recovery by supporting muscles and increases blood flow. The honeycomb pattern provides support, while the space in between allows optimal ventilation. Actilite LP fabric has excellent quick dry properties to wick moisture away from the body. Reviewed by Paul.





The Salomon Speedcross III - has been a long term favourite for me personally due to its great overall performance and features. This shoe is amazingly comfortable and ultra light. It has a very aggressive tread for great grip on soft, slippy, muddy terrain (ideal for the Lakes where we have very mixed weather all year round). I think the dual density EVA midsole is a major contribution to its great feel underfoot and as with most Salomon’s the Sensifit technology works to cradle the foot providing a precise and secure fit all round. Another great feature is the Quicklace system, very reliable and easy to use and adjust for all type of runners. Reviewed by Paul





Salomon XT 5 S-Lab -Yet again in my opinion another great shoe from Salomon. The S-Lab range is their premium and highest standard of products and the S-Lab 5 keeps that bar high. The shoe is cushioned enough to train all day in but is also light and responsive enough for race day. The S-Lab 5 has a very aggressive sole for a trail shoe but wears really well on even harder packed trails. Great for the big muddy/boggy trails around the Lakes! Comes with Salomons quick lace system and is in a great racing red colour. I also found it a wider fitting shoe then the Speedcross. Reviewed by Paul
