"I’ve used it for big hikes in Hawaii, both volcanic, rocky and muddy. ... Phenomenal shoes"
"Even though it’s small, the JBL Pro Sound delivers surprisingly loud and clear audio for its size. ... It has a strong bass response and well balanced sound, so you can hear your music well even with wind or outdoor noise. ... It’s definitely one of the better sounding mini speakers out there!"
"The JBL Clip 4 has an IP67 waterproof and dustproof rating, which means it can handle rain, mud, and even being dropped in water without a problem. ... You won’t have to worry about it getting damaged in wet conditions. ... It’s built for the outdoors!"

"quick-drying shoes ... all the wetness will be wicked away ... When you get to camp, take out the insoles to dry the shoe."
"Breathability…I ran the last 75 miles of Sedona canyons 125 in May in Arizona with them (and gaiters) and with the Balega hidden comfort socks and never thought my feet couldn’t breathe. It never crossed my mind."
"the uppers are so thin and breathable"

"The grip of s/lab sense 7 was great on wet and dry rock ... Yeah every Salomon I’ve come across sucks on wet rock except the s/lab sense 7. That one was great, but wore out rather quickly. Sense 8 had the same compound."

"Is this considered normal levels of wear on the outsole? ... Exactly what I thought… ... Pity these are bombing out. ... Mainly compacted sand, with cape sandstone and granite. So nothing gnarly."
"The lugs were shredding off in chunks. ... ran twice, maybe 20 miles in them and they were starting to do the same thing."
"My regular prodigios have been wearing very quickly on the rocks in the Vegas desert. ... The outsole is smooth at the forefoot after 100 miles."

"Their sole is a little bit ticker as well ... Oh that’s a bummer but good to know! I have an old pair that are basically like being barefoot but with tread instead of skin."
"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."

"Salomon s/lab sense 7SG ... Even the sense 7SG version sucked in the wet."
"the only thing they don’t get a grip on is wet wood."
Here’s my contribution. I haven’t done controlled tests like you did, but I run a lot of rocky vertical terrain and have put lots of miles in all these shoes. Trying to focus here on wet rock grip from the outsole and ignore other shoe attributes (fit, lock down, flexibility/stiffness, weight, cushion, etc) that also come into play with their overall ability to do the job on wet rock 5: VJ Maxx 1&2 VJ Spark Arcteryx Norvan VT (limited mileage) 4.

r/trailrunning • The best wet rock grip, Arcteryx, Adidas, Salomon, Altra, LaSportiva, Icebug, VJ ->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? ->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. ->I used the Salmon Sense, maybe ride it was? Anyway I’ve used it for big hikes in Hawaii, both volcanic, rocky and muddy. Phenomenal shoes
r/trailrunning • What trail shoes are good for walking? ->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 ->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? ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
