Trail Protection
Protective mudguard around the base of the foot protects the lateral and medial sides from muddy trails. Anti-debris Mesh upper prevents debris from being trapped between your foot and the footbed. EnergyCell midsole, a high performance EVA foam, provides shock attenuation.
Advanced Chassis
A lightweight Advanced Chassis, placed between the outsole and midsole, maximizes motion control, energy management and push-through protection for an efficient, stable and responsive ride. EnergyCell midsole, a high performance EVA foam, provides shock attenuation.
SensiFit Foothold
SensiFit cradles the foot from the midsole to the lacing system, providing a secure, snug, and virtually customized fit all around the foot. Molded OrthoLite sockliner delivers comfort and breathability.
GORE-TEX Waterproof
Added GORE-TEX membrane keeps your feet dry from the outside as well as from the inside. Waterproof material remains unaffected by water even when under pressure, completely preventing water from entering the shoe through the upper.

This change gave all the space and freedom my feet/toes needed at the front of the boot, from the ball of my feet to the toes, without any pressure from being laced in that location. This makes the boot perfect and absolutely comfortable and very secure on one's feet. I use the added length of the laces, from not going through the first eyelets, and double wrap them around the ankle and tongue which gives added support and a much smaller tied knot so the lace doesn't flop around. For me, in my experience, there is no need to fully lace the boot up to the highest hook eyelets. Stopping at the first hook eyelet and double wrapping the lace around the ankle, cinching them nice and tight, gives very sufficient and secure support. In addition, not using the first eyelets greatly reduces the pressure from stressing the sides being pulled tight which might cause any delamination from the sole, which, from reading come of the comments, has happened to some users. I guess it depends on the width of the ball area ones foot.
I average about 1200 to 1600 miles a year hiking wearing these boots while wearing a 60lb weight vest in addition to about a loaded 40lb backpack, on my 6'1" 195lb body. These boots hold up extremely well under all that weight. With excellent tread for uphill traction, as well as very good control downhill traction. The laces are similar to para-cord in strength and durability, (never ever had one break), and will hold tight keeping your feet securely ensconced.
I wear full length athletic compression socks when hiking, which by their nature are thin. So my 11.5 sized boots are a perfect glove fit. If you are going to wear a thicker sock, your best bet is to order these boots by .5 larger to compensate for the added sock thickness.
I've never had a boot failure, but as said, they, as everything else, will wear out with heavy use. I don't throw out the old boots. Instead I use them when doing things where their treatment, whether they get damaged or not, is not a concern.
Pictures of old boot laced my way, and the newest boot laced my way. Notice the tied lace is just enough as to not flop around or to possibly get snagged by anything while hiking.
Oh, and these boots are quality made in India.

Oh, and these boots are quality made in India.
I use these for work. I live in the Appalachians, and work outside. I walk several miles a day, and wanted something light, durable, breathable, and waterproof. It is VERY hard to find anything that fits those 4 criteria. So here's what I've found about these shoes.
For the first week, they were pretty tight, and had too much arch support. I've never had that problem before, and towards the end of the day, it was pretty painful. But both those issues went away within a week.
They are very light, especially considering I've always had to use heavy work boots.
I was certain these wouldn't be waterproof, considering it has a mesh top. I was wrong. I dont know how these stay dry. It is honestly the most impressive aspect of these shoes. Rain, mudpuddles, wet grass, nothing gets through. They have been thoroughly soaked. That being said, I haven't submerged the mesh part to see how long it could hold water out.
Which brings us to breathability. The mesh, while holding out water, breathes very well. FINALLY a day at work without sweaty feet!
I wasnt sure how they would hold up, but they are tough. 5 months of hard wear, and they still look new. I've never had shoes made in India, so I worried a bit about that. There was no reason for concern. So far nothing is coming apart.
They get EXCELLENT traction on ANY surface I've been on. After buying over 6 pairs of high end work boots, I'm very pleased with the price and functionality. They are also very flexible compared to ANY work boot I've ever had. They also fit very well. I was concerned about not trying them on first, but the size was right on.
I STRONGLY recommend these boots for either hiking or a mobile job. Unless these absolutely fall apart tomorrow, I will definitely buy again.

Yo los pedí medio número arriba de lo habitual y me quedan excelente.
It ties around the foot very firmly so it holds my anker.
It's a pretty expansive thing compared to other shoes but if you do a lot of trekking or have an anker problem like me , you need good shoes . If you don't have them , you may suffer from more pain in the upper body.
I was surprised about the lightness of the shoes but they don't feel cheaply made . It's the famous gore-tex I have heard about and I love this. It's understandable that the brand Salomon keeps this model since a couple of years. It's still a very nice and competitive shoe . I frequently go into forest or mountain to take walks and relax in nature. As I suffer from some diseases like fibromyalgia , chronic pain and arthrosis, I'm sure these shoes will help me a lot having less pain .
If you want to trek , look at the competition , there is not a lot as good as Salomon for the price so ... you may pay 50$ less for entry level shoes or pay 50$ more to get a trekker level that is high rated in almost any website dedicated to trekking.
I bought them with Amazon monthly payments and was afraid the size wouldn't fit but it's very representative of the real way to calculate your size ( draw on a sheet etc ) . If you calculate your size correctly , you can't make an error .... instead you have wide feet . In this case , take a wide model. I think there is one.
Very very nice shoes.
