Salomon XA Pro 3D Ultra 2 GTX Trail Running Shoe - Men's
I disagree

Ranked #418 - Men's Trail Run Shoes

Pros: Comfy, supportive, love the lacing, keeps the feet away from the elements.
Cons: We all know Goretex isnt that breathable. That being said, my feet may stay dry from the rivers and streams, but they sweat like crazy in these.
I disagree with the previous review. I have a letter from a well known shoe company thats 4 letters long that told me their warranty does not apply to me as Im too hard on their shoes. No problems here and I now have a nice collection of Salomons. I have flat feet and these mitigate that better than any other shoe Ive run in other than my old pair of Pearl Izumi that were motion control. 4 stars for the price and fact they dont breathe all that great

Interestingly, I got the same response from the Salomon supplier here in Oz, regarding the lace loops that broke (the ones not reinforced with plastic). That said, overall they really kicked *ss hence why I'm in the market for another pair - just online this time.
