The Salming Trail T4 grips everywhere

Just like the other durable running shoes, such as the New Balance 1400 v6 and Mizuno Wave Rider 23, the Salming Trail T4 also uses a blown rubber material.

Salming Trail T4 outsole

This component offers a great grip on most surfaces. This lightweight rubber outsole also protects the rest of the platform and the foot from the rugged terrain. 

Protective cover

The upper unit of the Salming Trail T4 is manufactured with two-layer sandwich construction. The first layer close to the foot features a thick air mesh that offers plush comfort.

The second layer is a thin net mesh that prevents the sand and gravel from entering the shoe. It also enables excellent water drainage.

The ripstop nylon fabric used in the upper is highly durable. It also protects the top of the foot from debris, small rocks, and other elements. 

On top of the two-layer construction is the Exo Skeleton technology. This design helps stabilize the foot and relieve pressure at the metatarsophalangeal joints.

It also eliminates friction and reduces the forces in the soft parts of the foot, especially underneath the forefoot.

Salming Trail T4: A fun, forgiving ride

The Salming Trail T4 utilizes the RunLite midsole cushioning for maximum comfort.

RunLite technology features the high abrasion injection EVA (ethel vinyl acetate) designed to deliver a responsive and flexible ride. It also allows for optimal ground feel. 

The TGS 62/75° design provides the heel to the ball of the foot with added stability and ends with a 75° angle.

Salming Trail T4 flexibility

This design equipped the shoe with a higher level of flexibility, allowing the platform to simulate the foot’s natural movements. 

No slips from the first mile to the last

The heel cup integrated into the shoe provides an adaptive heel fit, keeping the foot from sliding up and down while running.
