This shoe is touted as a short to mid distance trail runner. I'm not completely sure why it is described as such since it is not particularly light or nimble and seems incredibly stable. To me it is a bomb proof trail hound for the longer runs and that is how I'm using them. I like the narrow fitting heel cup mounted on a widely based sole for great stability; probably more stable than most shoes with motion control features and just as heavy. I used them in wet conditions one day and was not satisfied with the traction but found them adequate on somewhat sandy trails at Fort Ord near Monterey, CA. Very wide forefoot. I would recommend trying them on before purchasing them as they are somewhat unique.
I've only used them twice. narrow arch/mid sole led to blisters. Used some blister band aids on second run, and everything else worked great. I really like the draw string shoe strings. They are really easy to use and convenient. I think it will be a durable shoe that will last. I plan to use these shoes on short and middle distance trail runs, but I'll likely add blister band aids to my archs to prevent blisters caused by the narrow mid shoe region.
These shoes are fresh. (oh ya, and they are built like a tank w/o the weight) These shoes are Salomons. (and they can run) Why doesn't this store allow you to have personality with the sick colors these shoes offers? (I love this store otherwise) Why not add style to your life. Bottom line... buy these shoes. They are PERFECT for me, and probably you too! (and convince this store to order you other colors)
These are great shoes, I went with a half size bigger than normal and that worked for me. Sometime I weara sock liner. These are great for walking, hiking, trails, streets,etc. Great and lightweight, good cushion. It's hard to buy any other shoe that does not have the "Quick Lace" I don't like having to tie and retie laces.
I originally thought the toe box was to roomy, then went for a trail run, and realized it was perfect. The sneaker works perfectly with the motion of the foot, and its adjustment to the terrain; smooth, supportive, and most of all comfortable. The quick lace is great for a quick lace adjustment in inclement weather, and doesn't suffocate your foot. Simply put, it is a great multi purpose sneaker best used for ALL types of trails, and some road surface as well...I love it!!
The entire line of Salomon shoes now has my attention. This is the sixth pair I've purchased in the last two years. I like everything the shoe provides from support, traction, and overall quality. The speed lacing system works well and the styling is today. Great color options, too. When looking for a good mixed terrrain shoe, look at Salomon. They're great!
Perfect all around, durable, stable, running shoe for both trail and road training runs/races. Ideal for single track 5-12 mile runs/races. Very light, durable, stable platform. Once of the best running shoes for the money. Rides best with 2mm lightweight trail running socks. REI has great customer service. Thanks again guys.
Innovative lacing system works well, though I couldn't figure out what the illustration on the directions expected me to do with the lace-top: I ended up just threading it sideways through a loop at the top of the tongue.
The product was just what i was looking for.....until i tried it on and it was very narrow through the middle of the shoe. Would have kept the shoe with a wider mid section.
these sneakers are amazing.lightweight,breathable fafric and very good arch support.looking to shed some weight from your gear cant get any better.just love these shoes
