I was looking for a low profile shoe for every day wear and was disappointed with the new version of my current shoe and was looking for a new model. I fell in love with these Solomons! They fit my average foot perfectly and look great without all the clunky stuff that most running shoes now have around the heel. Very very happy with these!!!
Might be the most uncomfortable out of the box trail shoe I've ever worn. Underfoot had a ton of unnatural pressure points and the foam felt like it was made of wood it was sooo stiff. I had to turn around mid run to take them off my feet and shins were hurting so badly. I run this 4.5 mile loop every other day and I didn't make it even halfway before hobbling back home. This wasn't just a "they need to be broken in" scenario. I wear a pair of salomons Thundercross shoes and those have been nothing short of incredible for me so I was pretty bummed when the visions did not stack up against them. Returned after this single use. To play devils advocate... Maybe someone with different arches and shaped feet might like these. I imagine breaking them in because of the foam might be a big uphill battle regardless of fit. Only giving 2 stars because I didn't try harder to make them work for me. Couldn't justify another effort up the hill after the first painful experience.
I have several Salomon models and was looking to find something with slightly more cushion than the XA PRO (which I love). Unfortunately in actually running in these I had a ton of problems, I think the foot bed or cushioning just didn't work with my feet. I am currently on a walking vacation and have been using these as primary and they aren't too bad as walking around shoes. Since I had run in them I could not return them. I bought the Genesis since then and like them much more.
Thank you for sharing your experience. We're sorry these didn't work out for running as you'd hoped, especially since you love the XA PRO and were looking for a similar feel with more cushion. We're glad to hear the Genesis model is working much better for you and that these are at least serving you well for walking. We appreciate your continued loyalty to Salomon and your feedback about how different models work for different activities.
I love this shoe. It is comfortable and. just the right of cushioning (I've lately realized I need a bit more these days). I used them for several train runs now and during one of them, discovered they are not super grippy for lose rocks. Other than that, a great shoe that is super comfortable and does well for my long runs of 25K or more.
I really like the foot bed. I have a narrower foot, they fit perfect. I like how the foot bed fits the foot. Very comfortable, not too “spongey”. Nice tread, for trail. They look good too.
