Salomon XA Pro 3D Ultra 2 GTX Trail Running Shoe - Men's
Very Nice

Ranked #166 - Men's Trail Run Shoes

These runners take control when I put them on, they force me to take off running along any muddy trail I can find on a rainy day. Puddles are no threat to these bad boys. I am a size 10 in all shoes and a 10 in these are true to size. They grip and cusion well to any surface. The forefoot area of the sole is not shielded well from rocks so you will feel a poke if you roll over a pointed one. Pronation seemed to be inhibited but not as much as a shoe designed for just that. When it is warm and dry out my feet did heat up quite a bit, and when it's hot out your feet will feel as if they were on fire. The lacing system and cusioning system are both very nice. These shoes are great and reliable for wet weather and sloppy trail running.
