Not your typical trail running shoe: the Salomon S/Lab Ultra Dust takes things to the extreme

Salomon S/Lab Ultra Dust.

The latest shoe in Salomon's S/Lab premium line has dropped, and it might look like a mountaineering boot, but the brand promises it's built for ultra runners tackling the most rugged trails at high speed.

Taking a leaf out of the S/Lab Genesis Spine's book, the Salomon S/Lab Ultra Dust looks at first glance like a technical boot, but it's a running shoe nestled inside a built-in gaiter. The gaiter is designed to keep dust, sand, snow and water out while you cross deserts, rivers and alpine terrain and the French brand says it's breathable and fortified with a protective toe cap for when the going gets tough.
