Our verdict
The Spectur 3 is described by Salomon as a high-performance training shoe, with a fibreglass plate over the whole length, a sole geometry meant to shorten ground contact, and an optiFOAM² midsole. The brand pitches it at beating personal bests.
For a Hyrox athlete it is a tool for the race-pace blocks of the 12-week plan, not an everyday shoe. If your running is still being built, the Salomon Aero Blaze 4 (men) or the Salomon Aero Glide 4 (men) make more sense first.
What we like

- + Built for speed and stable transitions
- + Men's and women's cuts
What to know
- - Highest price of the selection
- - Little point on easy runs
Frequently asked questions
Is a plated shoe worth it for Hyrox?
Only if running pace is your limiter. For most first-timers, a cushioned or responsive shoe without a plate is enough.
Can I run the Hyrox in it?
Some athletes do for the running segments, but stability under a sled is lower than in a cross-training shoe.
