Sweet Shoe After A Fit Modification

By Wally Phillips May 6, 2009

My first foray into Salomon footwear and I am not disappointed. The 3D chassis works great for trail-runners that are neutral or slightly pronate and the EVA offers a great amount of cushion. Also, this Gore-Tex setup isn't as clammy as the previous models and kept me dry in a steady rain storm.

The Quickfit lacing system is easy and durable, but it can take some fiddling with at first to find the correct amount of tightening. Leave it too tight and your arch may not like you.

Also, I have a high A width with a 11.5 right foot and a 11.25 left foot. This shoe fit a little big on the length in an 11.5 with the width being close to perfect. A thicker insole fixed that though. Size a half size down on this one and don't go in this shoe if you are an upper "D" width or higher.
