Ultra Flow GTX Shoe - Men's

GORE-TEX is a specialized fabric that is both waterproof and breathable. This means it keeps water out while allowing sweat and moisture to escape, keeping you dry and comfortable during outdoor activities like hiking or running in wet conditions. If you’re looking for gear that can withstand rain and snow while still being comfortable, GORE-TEX is an excellent choice.

All-Terrain Contagrip is a unique rubber outsole technology designed by Salomon to provide exceptional traction on various surfaces, whether they are wet, dry, rocky, or muddy. This means you can confidently tackle different terrains without worrying about slipping, making it perfect for both road and trail running.

Maximum cushioning refers to the level of padding and support in the shoe's midsole. Shoes with maximum cushioning are designed to absorb impact effectively, providing comfort during long runs. This feature is especially beneficial for runners who spend a lot of time on their feet, as it helps reduce stress on the feet and joints, allowing for a more enjoyable running experience.

Stack height is the measurement of the shoe's midsole thickness, which affects cushioning and shock absorption. A higher stack height, like 32mm in the heel and 26mm in the forefoot, means more cushioning, which can enhance comfort during runs. If you’re looking for shoes that provide extra support and help reduce impact, a higher stack height is a key feature to consider.

The drop of a shoe is the difference in height between the heel and forefoot. A 6mm drop means the heel is 6mm higher than the forefoot. This measurement can influence your running stride and foot strike. Shoes with a lower drop often promote a more natural running style, similar to barefoot running, which can enhance your overall running efficiency and comfort.

Absolutely! Shoes featuring GORE-TEX and All-Terrain Contagrip are designed for versatility. The waterproof and breathable GORE-TEX keeps your feet dry, while the All-Terrain Contagrip provides excellent traction on various surfaces. This combination makes them suitable for both trail and road running, allowing you to transition seamlessly between different environments.
