Item #SAL2195 | 430 in Stock
5 Star Rating

3rd Pair

By Ranked #1586 - Men's Trail Run Shoes December 6, 2008

I have these shoes, last years model and the non gore-tex model. They are hands down some of the best shoes I have ever owned. They fit to the shape of my foot very well and are very comfortable. I use the gore-tex shoes for walking to class when it is wet out and or snowy and they are almost like wearing boots. Your feet stay dry and comfy. I also use these shoes for backpacking and all sorts of outdoor exploration. The only questionable thing is that they don't have Vibram soles, so they don't have out of this world traction. They are also not fun if you fall in the water with them on, the gore-tex keeps the overflow water in for a while. The cool thing about these shoes though is if they get stinky you can fill them up with some hot water and tide with bleach, let them soak overnight, rise them out and they are good as new! Hands down, awesome shoe. Also if something breaks on them, Salomon will replace them!
