Salomon S-Lab Fellcross is one of the leading ultralight trail running shoes. Trail running, if you're not sure, is running over hiking trails — these are often muddy and uneven. Good trail shoes have aggressive, knobbly soles that are more rigid than standard running shoes. As running is on trails rather than hard roads, cushioning is less important. Trail shoes have a low profile to cope with the uneven ground, and finally they must be lightweight.

The S-Lab Fellcross is no exception to this — the shoe is comfortable, lightweight, and has spent more than 2 years in design and development by real athletes testing different materials and profiles extensively. The laces are a quick-draw system, lightweight and quick and easy to put on. The Salomon S-Lab Fellcross also recently won TGO Magazine's Footwear Product of the Year 2012 award.
