"Overall this is the best trail shoe I've had. Well made and stylish. Not over constructed but sturdy. It's flexibility and stiffness are just right in all aspects of the shoe."bradaskins
Quality of Construction
The construction quality of these shoes is great. Heavy duty stitching.
Fit
The Fit of shoe is totally up to each user. These shoes seem to be a bit snug in the toe box but I like that feel
Comfort
The comfort is quite nice. They fit snug but aren't over tight.
Adjustability
The lacing system is fanatic. It's an asymmetrical lacing system and a quick tie. Pull on the tie and tuck the lace into a tongue pocket. Brilliant!
Durability
So far the shoes have held up great over many miles of rough terrain. Typical wear and tear but nothing I would consider to be bad
Value
Great value. These are middle of the Salomon pack as far as trail shoes go.
Appearance
Love the appear. Great color and cool design over all.
Customer Service
I bought these at REI in Austin Texas, the salesman knew a lot about the shoes but didn't try to over sale these.
Performance
Sturdy and rugged. The shoe is flexible and stiff at the right time in the right place.
Strengths
The integrated tongue pocket of the laces is pure genius. The mesh that covers the tongue to keep things out of the shoe works like a charm. The not over aggressive tread pattern works for both uphill and downhill. The quick lace system tightens the shoe quickly but allows for quick adjustments so the shoe isn't to tight or too loose. Great construction!
Weakness
I haven't found a weakness yet :-)
