The shoe is essentially a combination of the speedcross and ultra glide. It has the grip and durability of the speedcross with the comfort of the ultra glide. It has the best of both worlds. I run 10-15km in the mountains, so the evaluation is based on these distances.
- It has a narrow fit, so I do not recommend it for wide feet. It fits me perfectly.
- It has moderate breathability, but this helps to keep it from getting dirty inside. Generally, breathability and dust protection are contradictory. You lose one of the two. However, the foot neither gets wet nor swells. You just feel that it warms up sometimes.
- The grip doesn't need to be mentioned. Top-notch, but you expect that from Salomon. The lugs are 5mm, sparsely distributed on the sole, and with an aggressive design. It is a shoe for technical terrain, but of course, you can wear it anywhere else. Although it doesn't have a rock plate, its stability is excellent and gives you confidence.
- It is a comfortable shoe, it has never tired me, no matter what terrain I have run on. It has good protection around for hits from rocks, etc.
- It has reinforcement in the arch for underpronation, like me. It is another reason that suited me.
- As for the negatives, I would say that it hits me somewhat at the edges of the small toes and also irritates me in the arch of the foot where I do not have underpronation. But both can be solved with Vaseline in those areas and thicker socks.
Therefore, 4.5 stars from me. I consider the shoe top-notch in its category. Give it a challenge, and it will give you as many kilometers as you want.
Update 22/7
Having worn the shoes in Olympus and Zagori, I notice that in technical descents, those with a lot of rocks, the heel moves inside the shoe. This is because the construction of the shoe around the heel is made of soft material, you can bend it with your fingers. While they have a good fit at the point, they are not stable. So it requires attention. Minus one star for this, and 3.5 stars. The rest remains as I have noted above.
