Salomon Hiking Shoe

I've had wonderful success with Salomon shoes and had great hopes for the Salomoon Exit Sport 2 Hiking Shoe and utilizing this shoe for a trip up the Mountaineer's Route on Mt. Whitney this summer, but alas on my first trip, on the Mishe Mokwas Trail, with these shoes was SERIOUSLY DISAPPOINTED by their fit and total lack of traction on the rock. I'm an experienced climber and runner, having hiked and climbed Denali, Aconcogua, Kilimanjaro, and run 22 maratons and the rim to rim to rim in the Grand Canyon, but I WOULDN'T give this shoe to my worst enemy as a gift!! I nearly broke my neck, repeatedly, working on rock that I'd trust in my Nikes.
DON'T waste your $$$$$ on these. I really like Backcountry and Salomon shoes and boots, but these truly SUCK!!
