The Salomon Alphacross 5 trail running shoes are designed for adults, specifically female runners.

However, they are optimized for trail running and might not be the best choice for road-only use. These shoes feature deep lugs for optimal grip, a softer midsole for comfort, and a design that enhances ground connection for better adhesion and mud-shedding.
