Salming enRoute Men Blue

Salming enRoute - the path to natural running - Men's road volume shoes for asphalt and paved roads.

EnRoute – your path to a natural running style. All the feedback and also the sales results in the first year after the launch of our model on the market confirmed that our dream of making the EnRoute an icon had taken on a real dimension. EnRoutes immediately ranked among the best road running shoes on the market, and their position there is unshakable. The backbone of the EnRoute model is our Natural Running Support System™, which allows every runner to find and maintain their natural running style. If there is a running shoe for everyone – it is the EnRoute!

Technologies used

Heelcup
The heel cup in our shoes is designed so that it does not increase the weight of the shoes, but at the same time fulfills its function, which is to stabilize and fix the foot in the shoe.

3 Layer Construction
When you're going to be running hundreds of miles in your shoes, you need them to be not only durable but also comfortable. To make sure our shoes can withstand the rigors of the outdoors, we've chosen an upper that's constructed from three layers. The bottom layer of breathable material keeps your feet comfortable and cozy. The middle layer helps stabilize lateral movements and reduces pressure on your foot. The outer thin mesh layer surrounds the toe of the shoe, adding extra stability and overall durability to the shoe's upper. And it's also really good.

TGS 62/75°
The distance from the heel to the ball of the foot (62% of the sole) was designed with maximum stability and impact absorption in mind. This area is finished with a so-called ballet line, which ends this stabilizing part at an angle of 75%. Behind this ballet line, the shoes are equipped with a material that supports and stimulates the rebound when running. TGS 62/75 technology ensures that the shoe bends in exactly the right place to stimulate the natural lateral and anterior-posterior movements of the foot.

Exo Skeleton
Exo Skeleton technology stabilizes the foot during lateral movements, reducing pressure on the MTP joints (metatarsophalangeal joints). This construction eliminates friction and protects the soft parts of the foot, especially those located under the forefoot.

Toe Box
The toe area is expanded, providing much more range of motion for the forefoot, thus supporting a more natural and efficient movement from a biomechanical perspective.

Torsion Efficiency Unit™
Torsion Efficiency Unit™ is a technology that sensitively supports the stability of the shoe. This unit is placed in the sole so as not to restrict, but to maximize the efficiency of running. The Distance model uses a semi-transparent TPU unit, while the Race model is equipped with a torsion unit made of lightweight carbon.

RECOIL™ Midsole
A newly developed material used as part of the shoe's cushioning in the midsole. Compared to classic EVA foam, it absorbs negative forces during impact better and, conversely, is better able to utilize the energy expended in rebound.

Drop 6mm
The drop is 6mm (the difference between the height of the sole at the center of the heel and the height of the sole at the center of the forefoot, including the sole and midsole). The highest drop height we've ever used in a shoe. Found on the EnRoute and Speed 5 models.
