Salomon Synapse -
The Salomon Synapse Hiking Shoe uses trail runner technology to make one of the best light hiking shoes on the market.
Jennifer Pharr Davis broke the speed record hiking the 2,181 mile Appalachian Trail using these shoes!
The first natural motion hiking shoe that works with your stride.
A 10mm heel drop with a flexible profile gives your foot a dynamic rolling motion that's low impact and super efficient.
The caterpillar effect multidirectional grip soles keep you sure-footed in any terrain.
A toe protection bumper saves your digits from stubs on rocks and roots.
The welded Sensifit harness wraps around your foot for a no-stretch fit that stays comfortable all day long.
Non-stretch quicklaces make for easy adjustments with minimal fiddling.
Breathable mesh upper keeps your foot cool and dry, but is fine enough to keep debris out.
A lace pocket tucks the Quicklaces away for a clean, no-trip finish.
Salomon's Ortholite insole offers excellent support and alignment.
From day hikes to fast-and-light backpacking and even trail running, this is one of the best hiking shoes on the market.

Go light and go fast.
Salomon engineers took one look at the current stock of trail shoes and decided to turn things upside down with their Natural Motion design for the Men's Synapse Hiking Shoe. Rather than stuffing your foot into a design that holds back your anatomical mechanics, the springy midsole material and unique sole shape allow your foot to naturally roll through each stride so you glide over rough terrain quickly and efficiently. Light, breathable, and cushioned for comfort, the Synapse Shoe will quickly replace that heavy hiker you've been using to punish yourself with all these years.

Holabird Sports

Be prepared to answer when nature calls wearing Salomon Synapse hiking shoes. As the first natural motion hiking shoe, you will have access to an exceptional range of motion on rocky and uneven terrain. The subtle design with uniquely raised and metal lace eyelets will look great against a backdrop of trees or mountains.

Upper: Lightweight mesh provides breathable abrasion resistance. Quicklace™ offers a minimalistic and strong lace for one-pull tightening and easy off and on transitions. Mud guard protection surrounds the shoe upper. Protective toe caps resist abrasion and keep toes safe from rocks and other debris. Lace pockets on the tongue stores the laces, keeping them secure and out of your way. Padded heel and tongue enhance comfort.

Midsole: OrthoLite, removable insole uses anti-bacterial properties to reduce odor and moisture while adding cushion. Molded EVA provides lightweight cushioning and stability. Sensifit™ cradles the foot for a more precise and secure fit. OS Tendon provides a smoother heel-to-toe transition for improved take-off. OS Muscle material allows the foot to naturally and efficiently roll through each step in rough terrain.

Outsole: Non-marking ContraGrip offers grip and durability that covers a variety of surfaces at high speeds. Dynamic Traction Technology gives higher performance on a variety of surfaces. Forefoot, self-cleaning flex grooves and multi-directional lugs enhance traction on a variety of surfaces.

Salomon Synapse Reviews:

Positive Reviews:

Running or Hiking.

If you are using it for hiking I would suggest the synapse with the climate shield because it will still be highly breathable considering how low they are. Even though the regular synapse is not water proof I found that it took a long time for water to soak through on a very rainy day as well as going through streams. It has been great for trail running on Lookout Mountain and trails such as the Cumberland trail and other Signal Mountain trails. It fits for high volume and wide feet well. Like most Salomon shoes they have great cushion although I put some green Superfeet in mine.

Run Your Hike

It works best with some insoles like Superfeet. If I put Superfeet insoles in them, then I can use them all day for any purpose and it increases ankle support. I love them and I never have to tie them. They are comfortable and stylish. I use them all the time for trail running around Chattanooga.
Whit Swaff at Rock/Creek Outfitters on 09/09/2012

this is the shoe i have fallen in love with on my thur hike of the AT other then the rocks of PA they were great and handel a 25lb pack , they fell like your walking on a cloud they have seen over 400 miles in jest over a mouth

wiffel ball at Backcountry.com on 06/27/2012

Super comfortable and light. Haven't taken them hiking yet, but the tread is more aggressive than the trail running shoes tread styles.

polarpop at Backcountry.com on 02/29/2012

More narrow across the ball of the foot than I was expecting, but still extremely comfortable.

Cut lower than most and very narrow across the ball of the foot. Next time I'll try them on before ordering.
