Salomon  S/Lab Phantasm CF Road-Running Shoes

Shoes arrived July 20,2023. Today I sent email to warranty. It’s August 11,2023. The shoes are already showing silly amounts of degradation of both tongues more than id accept after long periods of use but 1km walks a couple times a day for a couple weeks and they’re breaking down?! Unacceptable. I would 100% not get these again or recommend them to anyone who needs something more durable than toilet paper. Longtime customer but coming back so far is lots of buyers remorse.

These are AMAZING running shoes! I bought these and the CO Cloudmasters to try both. These feel like I'm running on springs with bionic legs. The CM's feel like I am running on deflated tires with plastic bags over them by comparison. I've never felt anything like these before on my feet. The shoe is narrow with less traction and support than you might expect, but once I was used to it I quickly felt like these offered more agility because of that. My feet feel planted, but nimble. The upper is very comfy, and extremely durable based on the materials used. The soles also seem extremely durable, I'd almost expect these to outlast a Nike vapor fly. I'm not a triathlete or cross country marathon runner at all but these make a huge difference in my everyday pursuit to do some cardio. I find that I want to run more when I reach for these and I have no pain or discomfort after a run in these which is not the case with other shoes.

Heel slippage. Too narrow toe box.

This is the worst fast run shoe I've ever used. No heel lock at all, completely unstable, plus laces can't be tie enough to hold and secure midfoot! Laces loosen up every couples of miles eveb with double knots! Zero real energy return

Found they were tight to start but what do you expect with a Chinese made shoe, once broken in they feel somewhat better and do make go faster also found how quiet they are on the road whether running or jogging so that’s a plus, left shoe has manufacture’s imperfection around the heel which I was not happy about. Overall they look fantastic even cooler when on your feet and performance wise they are fast but not worth the money sorry folks.

Just raced a road 50k in this shoe and it is quick and comfortable. The combo of the carbon plate, camber geo, and perfect amount (and type) of foam delivers sustainable comfort and speed for the long hauls. At no point during the 50k did I develop any hot spots or aches in my feet - the shoes just kept turning over and delivering performance. Great job on this one Salomon, I'm stoked to have found it!

Bought these initially for marathon racing, but the uppers were a little rough on my pinkie toes after the 15-ish mile mark. Perfect for half marathons though. Relatively comfortable, great pop off the pavement, and they look really great in person. Durability is good so far. I only have about 100 miles on this pair, but they wear seems minimal so far.

Great “super” shoe from Salomon. Really smooth ride & fantastic pop. Leaves my legs feeling fresh after a long run. Perfect half or full road marathon+ option. 10/10.

These shoes are amazing! They are light and so fast! Unlike the saucony endorphins they feel really secure and stable under my feet while trying to run as fast :)

This is my first carbon plated shoe and I’m pretty pleased. There was a little heel slip for me but it’s gone away since I’ve broken them in. Love them!
