• A solid choice for both the novice and experienced trail runners who are into marathons and ultra running.

Updates to the Scott Supertrac 2.0 GTX

• Complete protection from water exposure allowing heightened confidence in wet conditions.

Delivers a snug yet welcoming wrap 

When it comes to the sideways fit, the aspects that work together to deliver a snug yet welcoming wrap are the form-fitting upper and the semi-curved shape of the platform.

The natural curvature of the human foot is the basis for the design. The overall look determines the step-in and long-term comfort of the wearer.

Supertrac 2.0 GTX delivers a durable and grippy traction

The external pad uses a rubber that completely covers the base of the midsole unit. The purpose of this design is to shield the foam platform from possible damage due to the outdoor topography.

It has a durable and grippy nature for longevity and traction, respectively.

Gain confidence traversing uneven terrains 

A set of aggressive lugs that offer heightened grip are patterned across the facade of the rubber outsole. These opposite-facing arrows act like clamps that claw into the ground and deliver extra adhesion. 

Sureness of movement and confident traversal of the uneven terrains are the games of these elements. Aggressive outsoles are featured in many trail-optimized shoe series such as the Salomon Speedcross.

Responsive underfoot cushioning

Underfoot cushioning is the responsibility of the AeroFoam+, a landing force-mitigating piece that also offers in-shoe steadiness through its slightly firm build.

This full-length technology is what leads the runner from the landing to the takeoff, easing the steps in the process.

Allows smooth and quick-paced gait 

The eRide platform configuration involves a slightly convex shape to nudge the foot towards a smooth and quick-paced gait.

Instability isn’t a problem because the curve of this non-prominent design is merely relegated to the front and back of the shoe.

Durable and waterproof

The upper unit of the Scott Supertrac 2.0 GTX uses a close-weave mesh. This accouterment prevents dirt and other trail debris from entering the interior compartment.

It also ensures the durability of the upper unit and its waterproof membrane. Gore-Tex is a waterproof membrane that contours the outline of the upper unit. 

Scott Supertrac 2.0 GTX keeps the foot cool and dry

This layer offers full protection from water infiltration, yet it has micro-pores that permit environmental air to enter the foot-chamber and maintain a cool and dry wrap.

Printed overlays bolster the structure of the silhouette. They also help the traditional lacing system when it comes to delivering a customized hug.
