Salomon S/LAB Spectur | Full Review | Race Day for the Rest of Us

[@Believeintherun]

Just an FYI, since we recorded this video, Salomon has dropped the price of the shoe to $220. Thanks for watching!

I was a sub 15:00 5k/ sub 69:00 Half Marathon runner up until my late 30s and most supershoes aren't as good for me as they could be and I don't think they are right for more people than people realize. The rocker is too far forward for lots of people, most superfoam mixes are too mushy. I am 6'4" and weigh 175 and that mushy foam is for people who weigh 40 pounds less. So I am actually looking forward to this shoe. I am in my mid 50s now and had surgery for bilateral hallux rigidus in 2012 and I can only run at all in plated shoes since my big toes barely bend. I raced bikes for a decade after that surgery and thought I'd never run again until plated shoes came out. I currently runin the Puma Deviate Nitro Elite 2 and had some success with the Adidas Adios Pro 3, but I sent a pair of Vaporflys back immediately. Also did not like the Saucony Endorphin Pro 3 which everyone else liked - couldn't figure out how a heel striker with long stride length and relatively low cadence could get on with either of them.

I only use Asics but I am considering this Salomon after watching the video 📹 ❤ J.

[@andrewh7599]

Seems like a great concept from Salomon.

[@andyreyna2947]

Random thought, but Robbe always wearing the dopest hats. You should review some gear soon, or just hats haha anyways love yalls vids!

[@Believeintherun]

Pretty much all the gear roundups are on the website, trying to update it soon, thanks!

[@brokenfreddy1262]

The 3hr to 4hr is the normal pace for a person that doesn't want to,or can't, run the mileage it takes to run under 3hr..also for older people it is good to see someone thinks about us who don't enjoy being beaten up by our shoes..great review..😊

[@jeroen1989]

This versus sauc endorphin speed? Seems to have a similar role within the saucony line-up; or at least 1 and 2 had...

[@Believeintherun]

Price point would play a factor in the choice.

[@ScentNomad]

Thomas, just a heads up because you made a similar mistake in a podcast recently: adidas' performance line is called "Adizero", not "Adios". Just saying. Cheers from Berlin / Germany! 🙂

[@Ezechel.Trifan]

Hardest sell ever since Adios Pro Evo. Or since Superblast at original price. But then both of those shoes sold out.

[@francoisbouchet9907]

Salomon HQ is located at Annecy, France. not that far from Switzerland though ;-) --- Next Marathon at Annecy will be on April 14th. Come on! try your Salomon pair and break a PR by the Lake of Annecy! Then, enjoy a "Tartiflette" to reward yourself! that's definitely worth the trip ^^!

[@barry_144]

for me, it's a potential super trainer, but need to hear how quickly it wears down

[@Manuel-901]

First Like from 🇪🇸. Thanks Thomas and Robbe for this information about the salomon 2024. Cheers.

[@dlepore373]

That shoe looks pretty awesome....as a 3:30 plus for sure guy......but...that narrow middle portion of the sole is frightening for someone w wide, flat feet with pronation.....

[@travelingfit2032]

Wonder how this would compare to an SC Trainer v2, or a Superblast, or a Prime X Strung. I'm considering using the SC Trainer v2/v3 for my fall marathon. Listening to this review, probably Robbe should wear it but just doesn't want to admit it.

[@Carlosediaz543]

These seems to be lower stack height and way more stable then the other shoes you mentioned. The super blast is not plated so for the price u wouldn’t super recommend it unless u wanted to buy one shoe the super comp trainer and superblast would be great. These would also assuming be lighter and provide more ground feel then those super high stack height shoes

[@Believeintherun]

Lol I would totally wear this wear shoe and fully admit I probably should, just saying it's a hard decision - R

[@smiff9577]

Do you have a video of best carbon plate shoe? I’m looking for something with stability, comfort and speed for my 10k/21k races.

[@djseitz425]

I know this video is about the shoe, but Thomas, that shirt is sick! How can I get one?

[@Believeintherun]

Check it out at Sauri Running. It is a collab with Greg Itahara. shopsauri.com/

[@katobrly9963]

Thomas just like to hear himself speak and interject when someone else is speaking. Just let the guy finish what he’s trying to say before you butt in.

[@yahinkie9532]

Personally I think Robbie needs to stop moving that mustache so we can see it in its full glory. Thomas understands my vision.

[@cocopoco2006]

I couldn’t find this, so it’s not out yet? I like their claim, because I am not a fast runner.

[@josemartinez-ps1oi]

Salomon spectur or Nike zoom fly 6? For training/ race day

[@Believeintherun]

S/Lab Spectur or rev?

[@kgenest100]

Folks, Salomon headquarters are located in Annecy, a beautiful Venice-like city in the south of France, by a beautiful lake. Maybe you should go visit their lab afterall!

[@Carlosediaz543]

These might be a great performance trainer kinda in between that magic speed, endorphin speed and Mach x type feels but way more training oriented and racing oriented like you could do all ur runs in these. 250 is just silly tho like for the target crowed and what the shoes is used for I would have loved too see these at 190 or 200 would have been way nicer

[@Believeintherun]

They actually updated the price since we recorded, will be $220

[@Carlosediaz543]

@@Believeintherun ayeee wait that’s great!!!

[@Kris_dh]

How does it compare to ASICS Superblast?

[@andrewh7599]

It can't compare to the Superblast. Because nothing can compare to the Superblast. Lol. But great question. I would love to hear their response.

[@garybowes6284]

@@andrewh7599But the Superblast isn’t legal.

[@mapleridge8]

Legal Beagle...I ain't breakin records.

[@bigshotz1240]

250 for a shoe that has Eva is crazy

[@jeroen1989]

A lot of people pay it for the Puma Fast-r (1) 😂

[@Believeintherun]

They dropped the price to $220, just fyi

[@mapleridge8]

Softcore music in the background... Robbie's low cut....I wouldn't be surprised if the 'S' in SLab stood for sex. 🎉

[@TheHutchRuns]

Sounds like a really good Salomon shoe but maybe not a really good shoe compared to others

[@elMore1107]

maybe not so Good Then 😂

[@NOKIA6031]

Guys I am a constant viewer of your vlogs and reviews, but please try to have some flow. 20 minutes for a shoe review is too much, especially when you provide a casual, discussion-wise vlog, it gets kinda boring and surely many will skip some the presentation parts!
