CAN'T UNDERSTAND WHY THEY WERE SO POPULAR

Look good at first

Upper split above the rand. I can only wear them when it's dry and warm and my feet need ventilation.
Sizes too small. What's the point in having a sizing system that's out of synch with the rest of the world?

Won't buy any Salomon shoes unless they can prove they're better than the Merrells I now use.

WOULDN'T BOTHER AGAIN

solid / secure
reasonable grip
look stylish

rip my heels to shreds
fraying around ankle cuff

On my 2nd pair (1st pair replaced after they started fraying). 2nd pair going in exactly the same place (must be the way I walk!). Now relegated to "round town / nip out to the shop" trainers status. Not for long walks.

HAMPSTEAD HEATH ON A SUMMERS DAY.

Easy to put on. Easy to throw away.

Just about everything else.

Rubber is horribly slippery. Doesn't make for a great approach shoe. Big opening makes them easy to get on but unless you lace them cripplingly tight they are too sloppy for walking in anything steeper than the fens. They're so low cut that traversing even a gentle slope means that you end up almost falling out of them. Buy fivetens instead.

NOT WORTH THE HYPE

Very solid, no real signs of wear after using them for 5 months. Although the tread isn't deep they provide excellent grip.

Heels have hardly any padding and no give. 3 miles is my limit before they start to hurt. Sized very small - I had to find a 12 to fit my size 11 feet.

Lots of people are making solid shoes, but these ones won awards. I'm surprised that so many reviewers have the same problems with their heels and you have to ask what use is a trail shoe that you can only walk in for less than an hour? I'm going back to my Merrell's.
