I used this for Marathon Des Sables Legendary 2025 this year and honestly cannot recommend it enough, it was brilliant! They took an absolutely beating running through sand dune, mountains, very technical terrain, salt plains, rain, the lot! They held through it all very well and definitely still have many more miles to go Shoe is incredibly comfy, great cushioning but you can still feel where you are going under foot. I got a half size up from normal (just because of the feet swelling in the heat) and that was perfect. Anything else and Id go for my usual size. Durability was spot in, they got dragged through rocky terrain, thistles, bushes all sorts and both the gaiter and the shoe stayed firm Gaiters were great, no sand got in the shoe when running through the sand dune and jebels
First time I invested in Salomon brand and after my race I already got another pair to a different type of terrain. The best investment ever.
Not great for hard trails. Beat for soft surface or sandy terrain. The built in gaiter and zip lock is great.
Love this fit, comfort and built-in gaitors.... Great construction!
