About Salomon
Salomon was founded in 1947 in the French Alps and has been at the forefront of outdoor performance gear ever since. Originally known for ski equipment, Salomon moved into trail running in the 1990s and quickly became one of the most respected trail running brands in the world. Today Salomon is synonymous with technical trail running – their shoes are worn by elite mountain runners and weekend trail adventurers alike, and their gear is designed to perform in the most demanding conditions.
At Running Bath we stock Salomon because their trail running range is genuinely exceptional – built for the kind of off-road terrain you find around Bath, from the muddy trails of the Bath Skyline to the rocky paths of the Mendips and beyond.
Salomon Trail Running Shoes
Salomon’s trail running shoe range covers everything from fast and light racing shoes to cushioned long-distance trainers. Key models include:
Salomon Aero Glide
A versatile trail shoe designed for longer distances on mixed terrain. The Aero Glide offers excellent cushioning for a trail shoe, making it well suited to runners who want comfort alongside trail performance. Available in men’s and women’s versions.
Salomon Ultra Glide 2
Salomon’s most cushioned trail shoe – designed for ultra-distance running and long days on the trails. The wide fit version (Ultra Glide 2 Wide) is available for runners who need more room across the forefoot.
Salomon Thundercross GTX
A waterproof trail shoe featuring GORE-TEX technology – ideal for UK trail running conditions where wet weather is a regular companion. The Thundercross offers reliable grip and waterproof protection for year-round trail running.
Salomon DRX Defy GRVL
A road-to-trail crossover shoe designed for gravel running and mixed surfaces. If you run a mix of road, gravel paths and light trail, the DRX Defy handles the transition between surfaces smoothly.
Salomon Trail Running Accessories
Salomon Soft Flasks & Hydration
Salomon’s soft flask range is used by trail runners and ultra runners worldwide. Lightweight, collapsible and easy to carry in a vest pocket or hand, soft flasks are the most efficient way to carry water on the trails. We also stock the Salomon Soft Flask Straw – a replacement straw that fits Salomon soft flasks, allowing you to drink on the move without stopping.
Salomon Running Vests & Packs
Salomon’s hydration vest range is designed for trail running – sitting close to the body without bouncing, with front flask pockets for easy access on the move. Ideal for longer trail runs and races where you need to carry water, nutrition and an emergency layer.
Salomon Running Belts
The Salomon Agile belt range offers a lightweight option for carrying a soft flask and essentials on shorter trail runs without the bulk of a full vest.
Why Choose Salomon for Trail Running Around Bath?
Bath’s trail running scene is varied – from the mixed terrain of the Bath Skyline National Trust route and the muddy autumn trails of the surrounding hills, to the gravel paths of the canal and the rocky descents on the Cotswold Way. Salomon’s trail shoes are designed for exactly this kind of varied, technical off-road terrain.
The Vibram and Contagrip outsoles used across the Salomon range provide excellent grip on wet rock, mud and loose trail surfaces – all of which you’ll encounter running around Bath in autumn and winter. If you’re looking for trail shoes that can handle the conditions around Bath, Salomon is one of the best choices available.
Salomon Running – FAQs
Yes – Salomon is one of the most respected trail running brands in the world. Their shoes are used by elite mountain runners and are designed specifically for off-road terrain, with grippy outsoles, protective midsoles and durable uppers built for technical trails.
Salomon shoes can run slightly narrow compared to some other brands. Many trail runners go half a size up, particularly for longer runs where feet swell. Visit us in-store and we’ll help you find the right size – trying before you buy is particularly important with Salomon given the fit variation between models.
Salomon soft flasks come in 150ml, 250ml and 500ml sizes. For shorter trail runs the 150ml or 250ml fits easily in a vest pocket. For longer efforts or races where you need more capacity, the 500ml is the better choice. We also stock the Salomon Soft Flask Straw for drinking on the move.
Salomon’s trail shoes are designed primarily for off-road running – the lugged outsoles wear faster on tarmac and the ride feels less smooth on hard surfaces than a dedicated road shoe. For road running we’d recommend Brooks or HOKA. The DRX Defy GRVL is the exception – designed for gravel and mixed road/trail use.
