I abuse my shoes daily, my dogs get run on my half mile trail every morning. It’s usually wet in some sections. It’s steep and loamy with roots and rocks. Traction-7 of 10….longevity-6.5 (see pics of glue repair) waterproof-9, they stay pretty dry! tread wear is even, the insoles held up, but they do reek. Worse than my other shoes. I tried it all, sun, fan, powder, freezing em. They still smell like hay mixed with foot stench. I bought another pair cause they took it like a champ for 2 seasons of daily abuse. I’m married so I don’t care if my feet stink. I love the lack of laces. I can throw these shoes on almost instantly they feel a little heavier than a light approach shoe, I think it’s a good middle ground for a trail running shoe for more gnarly trails. A 8 of 10 shoe. Worth the money.
The X Raise 2 Gore Tex was very comfortable on my 12 day trip to Glacier NP. I liked the new toe box protection improvement from the x raise 1. Great if there are no high stream crossings or deep snow. Did fine on rocks and scree
This is my 2nd pair of Salmon shoes and they are fantastic. They look great and are extremely well made and durable for my active life style. JHM
