Had higher expectations for these runners, but unfortunately, they didnāt live up to expectations. The fit is quite tight and overall comfort was disappointing. While they do feel stable and secure for running, the lack of cushioning at the base of the foot becomes noticeable, especially on runs >4km, leading to irritation and discomfort. Build quality also doesnāt quite match the price point. Materials and finish feel a bit underwhelming, and I expected better from Salmon in that regard. The discomfort outweighs the benefit of the Gore-Tex finish.
Prior to this year I was an inconsistent runner, once I got serious I started purchasing running shoes that were popular amongst bloggers & writers . Salomonās werenāt highly recommended but Iāve been a fan of theirs for a while so decided to give these a chance & I havenāt ran in these too long but from my experience so far I am impressed how comfortable they are & how stable they feel when transitioning terrain. I love the look & Iāve worn them twice on rainy days & although it was heavy rain they held up better than I expected.
These are great. Bought them for Army ROTC PT and they are perfect, do a great job at keeping my feet warm and dry on cold early mornings. Very responsive midsole, very bouncy. Outsole has been good on every surface so far, including sprints on grass and asphalt.
I am absoluteky blown away by this shoe, a must have in the quiver. So comfy with great cushioning and yet so dynamic. I use them everyday as this model is certainly one of the best out there. Salomon, please don't change anything, it is just perfect as it is!
Love the look and how snappy and responsive the shoe feels. The only flaw, and I nearly returned them on account of this, was being cut a bit high at the front of the ankle, which has caused some discomfort and getting used to.
I like these and found them really comfortable for long wear but the foam material on the sides of the shoes gets damaged SUPER easily
These shoes are very comfortable. Wearing him for running, my feet won't hurt. Ivery like it.
Super comfortable and easy to put them on and off.
I purchased this shoe to use as a do everything travel shoe. It looks great, is waterproof and I could run in all conditions. The midsole foam feels excellent, and has a nice combination of support, responsiveness and stability. The outsole is spot on for all types of terrain, unless you need lots of traction. I also love the dark gray and black simple look. I wore this yo work for a week straight and got tons of compliments. (I manage a shoe department where we sell a few Solomon shoes and boots, but we donāt sell this exact model). This looks better than any other waterproof shoe Iāve seen for traveling. The only negative is the heel collar is too high and hits the bottom of my ankles on the outside of both feet. I do have a somewhat low volume foot, so Iām guessing many folks wonāt have this problem. Iāve only had this problem with one other shoe (Asics Cumulus). I tried using different insoles, and even tried doubling them up to raise my foot up a bit. Nothing worked. Overall, after two weeks, I gave up and decided this wasnāt the right shoe for me or my trip. I really wanted to like them, and I think I gave them a fair try, but these got shelved. Unfortunately, Solomon does not accept returns that are not in new condition, so now Iām stuck with these. But I knew the risk of ordering online so I canāt complain. I still think Solomon makes excellent shoes, but I will try them on in store before I buy next time. If these fit you, Iād say you will really like them. Just try them on first.
