"they were so much more comfortable I struggle to even put my Maxwells back on."
"open back is the only way since gaming you get so freaking hot you need the ventilation."

"I didn’t slip once. The new soles on these shoes had an awesome grip on the mountain. I felt very secure."
"the shoes felt great, had no slippage whatsoever, were cushioned, responsive, and comfortable. I ran up and down the mountain without much concern about where my feet were placed... the shoes handled it wonderfully."
"I’ve done everything from groomed gravel to mountainous ultras, peak bagging, scrambling, even hammered some road workouts with some buddies in them."

"The Trabuco 12 have been the best trail shoes I’ve ever owned. ... I’m 6”4 and charge hard over serious rocky terrain…and I feel completely safe in them."
"Certainly for taller/bigger person's (I am 1.87 and 80kg) this imo is a really great shoe for all terrain. ... I have been running mountains trails upto 60km in Scotland, Belgium, France, Italy, Austria and Switzerland ."
"It was a muddy shit show and the shoes were great."

"Every blue moon I roll an ankle but that’s because of tough terrain, not boots, and I’ve never injured my ankles in the process."
"I dont want to ride upon a 35mm wave of ankle-rolling fear. For that, I typically now only stick to the Altra Superiors"
"The frequency of my ankle rolling went way down. ... I have been wearing altras as everyday wear for almost 3 years and have maybe rolled my ankles 3 times over that time frame."

"The stability around the ankles is terrible ... keep rolling the ankle ... it has happened with both ankles"
"The only thing I don't like about these is that for very rooty trails the heel height really contributed to ankle rolls."
"I was running exclusively in SGs, and rolled my ankle badly thrice in three months at the end of last year."

"The downside of trail runners to me (Solomans) was I would sometimes get foot bruises on sharp rocky ground. ... My Solomans had a rock plate (thank you for pointing out my omission), but I feel a big difference with my Murrell Moab's."
"Current Salomon trail runners have to thick of a sole and cant feel rock well beneath them ... maybe the ones I have just dont work well for this specific use case."
"I have noticed they fall short when it comes to any mid or slightly more than mid class scrambling. ... Current Salomon trail runners have to thick of a sole and cant feel rock well beneath them"

The best ones are the ones that fit!! I have wide toes and wore Solomon trail runners for a long time. I switched to Merrell Moab hikers a couple of years ago. Both are 13 Wide (EEE).
r/backpacking • What is the best trail runners for backpacking? ->The downside of trail runners to me (Solomans) was I would sometimes get foot bruises on sharp rocky ground. I switched to hiking shoes (Merrell's) and I feel it's a better compromise between trail runners and boots. Pretty light and more comfortable.
r/backpacking • Trail runners for backpacking ->My Solomans had a rock plate (thank you for pointing out my omission), but I feel a big difference with my Murrell Moab's. To each there own, I know trail runners are the favorite, the Moab works better for me (I have dainty feet, I guess).
r/backpacking • Trail runners for backpacking ->I use Solomon trail runners, non-waterproof because my feet overheat easily in the summer. They've seen the presis in the summer without issues, and have decent grip.
r/wmnf • Boots for the Whites in Summer? ->What do you want to do? I love my Solomon trail runners but if I'm sliding down shale I'll take the Keens all day long. Both are good brands in my experience.
r/HikingAlberta • Which one should i get? im both comfy with both its just im asking for the durability of the brands, any reviews is a great help. ->Over the years I’ve worn trail runners from Merrill and Salomon, or standard running shoes from Nike and NB. A comfortable fit was the main criteria. Even on wet ground I’d rather have fast drying sneakers than boots.
r/hiking • what summer hiking shoes do you wear? ->I like Oboz boots. I also like my Solomon trail runners. I've done massive days in both, totally depends what you are more comfortable in. I do personally find benefit in some ankle protection and waterproofness. Some folks poopoo that... but I bet they have wet feet.
r/vermont • Hiking Boots ->I've tried a few S Lab shoes that didn't work for me due to my wide feet. There might be some hope here with Brooks!
r/trailrunning • Vibram + Matryx ->I like the Pulsar 3. Its one of mye favourite shoes. I would advice you to try it on before buying. Those shoes wont fit a lot of people.
r/trailrunning • I’ve been running in the mountain for over a month and my shoes are getting destroyed what should I get ? ->New S/labs size down. I’m my actual street shoe size in those, a US 6, when I’m a 6.5 in every other Salomon model. I was fine with my usual 38 in the PP.
r/trailrunning • La sportiva prodigio pro ->Yes! this is a great point. I always hate wearing my Salomon trail runners in the city on sidewalks… I do it because I absolutely need trailer runners and my other pair of shoes is usually something more dressy.
r/HerOneBag • The age-old question…shoes? ->Salomon trail runners. They’re my goat shoes - the only thing they don’t get a grip on is wet wood.
r/discgolf • Disc golf shoes? ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
