Great neutral, versatile trail shoe

evieemgrun · Aug 10, 2019

5/5

Overall

Although this is a trail shoe I've worn it everywhere, from running on roads, to trails, to gym sessions and hiking too and it is still in good shape and had lasted a long time. It is lightweight and very comfortable without too much extra padding. I want to buy it again but it's been discontinued and I can't find it online in my size for a reasonable price, so am looking at other Salomon shoes instead. I prefer shoes without chunky heel pads and this is perfect for me.

Overall

Good all around trail shoe for mixed terrain, including asphalt. This is my main training shoe, in part because of its durability. A bit too hard for racing.
