Before a hike, I always spent a ton of time calculating out how dry the trails would be to decide which shoe/boot I should wear. If it was spring time, or if rains were expected I would begrudgingly dust off the heavy hiking boots for their one redeeming quality - waterproofness. I hate these boots. With the Salomon's in my closet I don't have to worry about trail conditions. I am ready for anything. They are amazingly waterproof thanks to the Gore-Tex, have great grip, are comfortable, and do a great job at keeping my naturally sweaty feet dry. Oh and don't worry about grinding your palms off on the trail because of your shoes coming untied - these shoes have an excellent Quickfit lacing that hasn't failed me.
