XA Pro 3D Ultra

By Ranked #841 - Men's Trail Run Shoes November 26, 2008

I'm a fan of Salomon trail shoes and have used these shoes on 5 runs (5-12 miles) in the southern appalachians. Here is the good:
1. Well made
2. Good lateral & front end support
3. Very breathable
4. Runs true to size

The Bad:
1. Narrow toe box- got toe blisters on both feet on nearly all runs with several different socks.The shoe is properly sized.
2. The shoes have an annoying Squeak which doesn't go away.
3. With superfeet green insoles the arches of both feet hurt a bit after every run. I normally use these insoles without any problems on other running shoes.
4. Grit & dirt pass easily thru the mesh sides/top of shoe. My feet were black with dirt thru the socks even on a short 3 mile run!

I bought 2 pairs of these shoes and have since returned the unused pair as these shoes just haven't worked out for me. Hope this info helps.
