"The roborock I have kicked and smashed with my foot so many times out of anger when it doesn't collaborate, and still he rocks 4-5 yrs later and no broken parts"
"they are extremely durable. ... I’ve got well over 1000 miles out of a pair and they still have grip and the uppers are in great shape"
"I've used them for 1500 miles of multi-day hiking with no issues!"

"What I love about our oven vs. the air fryer is the amount of space the oven offers. Rotisserie chicken, 4 baked potatoes, pizza, evenly cooked tenderloin with a broil setting that can provide a crust."
"I use it a ton for roasting peppers along with daily for everything else."
"just for hiking and trail rubbing ... Personally I wore them for my ultra."

"I was quite impressed with its comfort and trail capabilities, and truly believed I had found an excellent shoe for my long runs and hikes. ... the New Balance Hierro v9 remains my top choice for comprehensive trail running. Its superior comfort and, crucially, its consistently reliable grip in varied and challenging conditions make it a more dependable partner on the trails I typically encounter. ... I feel more secure in the Hierro, and that confidence is key. In fact I will be using it for my upcoming races and that says it all."
"The Vibram Megagrip outsole on the Hierro v9 is simply outstanding. Its 4.5mm lugs provide excellent, reliable traction across various surfaces, from dry dirt to slick roots and muddy patches. I've always felt incredibly secure, and it consistently inspires confidence in diverse conditions. ... Great Vibram outsole grip, even on mud and wet rocks"
"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."

"As someone with severe nerve compression and multiple extruded discs; I need these shoes - they aren’t just for sport. ... Had to scour the internet to order new speedgoat 5s"
"I'm really prone to rolling my ankle. ... they definitely reduced ankle sprains for me."
"with a very nice stiff back around ankle it really plants your foot in place (and I had my ankles srrpingkled number of thimes back when I was playing baksetball)"

"Also, the grip was really crap, particularly when it’s a purpose built trail shoe."
"outsole does not perform well on wet rock ... I agree 100%, and it's a pity because in all other aspects Saucony makes excellent trail shoes. I just hope they will follow the xodus ultra 4 trend and implement vibram on the peregrines 16"
"I’m not convinced the Zegama is suitable for terrains that are moderate and up in terms of technicality. ... And I’m not convinced they can hold up on slippery surfaces. ... If I’m going to go for a mountain run with small rocks and tree roots, where there might be some damp/water, I’m going to reach for another shoe."

"They fit more rigid with more pressure points and have less room in the tow box. ... They were never as comfortable out of the box or hiking as a topo athletic shoe and I’ve had several pairs. ... I’m always very ready to take these shoes off at the end of the day.. ... after a long day, my feet feel like they were in a rock crusher since the cushion 0%."
"Speedgoats are not wide, they are one of the narrowest trail shoes ive worn ... I regret buying the Speedgoat wide because it squished my pinky toe and midfoot."
"they’re much narrower than the 5s. ... My 5s were my favorite trail shoe ever and the 6s were painfully unwearable for me. I wear a 2e wide and never had a problem with any other hoka before."

"the midsole was toast by 100mi ... maybe because I'm a heavier runner (200lbs)"
"limited durability of midsole"
"durability has not been great on the first two pairs. ... The issue with the first two pairs was the rubber on the sole was delaminating from the midsole . Mostly by the toe side area but also on the heal."

"It was a total disaster. ... By mile 13, the soles of my feet were two giant blister cushions. ... I hobbled out the next day nearly crying from pain and hitched home, utterly defeated. ... Turns out padding and isolation from scorching hot jagged/sloped black basalt surfaces is important."
"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 a very neutral arch, which I appreciate a little more support. ... just don’t work for my feet. ... I have low arches and the Zegamas feel so much better. ... I tried some nice inserts to no avail."
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’ve bought a pair. I don’t think Salomon have marketed them at all. I only found out they were being released from a YouTube comment. Too many shoes I want to buy this year to warrant the extra £100 on the Slab model.
r/trailrunning • The news Salomon Ultra Glide 3 !am I late ? I was aware and I have tried the Salomon SLAB Ultra Glide, but it's the first time I'm seeing the 3s 😳 ->Anyone have experience to share with the Salomon S/Lab Genesis? Thinking of getting these for my first 50k later this year since I do better with the 6-8mm drop range Currently have all of Salomon Thundercross and Ultra Glide, Nike Pegasus Trail 5, Altra Lone Peak 8, and Nike Pegasus Trail 4 GTX (my go to during this snowy training period)
r/trailrunning • What shoes are you rocking at the moment? ->Agreed had mine for a week now and love them. The SLab ultra glide is a pretty cool shoe too.
r/trailrunning • Anybody got any recommendations for trail running “super shoes?” ->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? ->I still have a new pair of the blue/red colorway from the first generation. They’re my favorite pair of trail runners.
r/trailrunning • The news Salomon Ultra Glide 3 !am I late ? I was aware and I have tried the Salomon SLAB Ultra Glide, but it's the first time I'm seeing the 3s 😳 ->As several others have said, I have found the La Sportiva Prodigio Pros to be well-cushioned, stable, and grippy. I also recently tried the Salomon S/Lab Ultra Glide and the foam has a very similar nicely-cushioned feel, and the wide base felt stable. I only had a very very limited experience with them though, so I'm not sure how grippy they would be in the Alps.
r/trailrunning • Trailrunning shoe that is stable and soft ->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. ->Trail version of the brand you already like. But if that doesn't work, Salomons are usually a good bet if they fit. Ultra Glide, Sense Ride, or Genesis are all sort of all-rounders that for me feel close to road shoes.
r/trailrunning • Road Runner Interested in Trailrunning - Shoe Advice Needed ->I haven't tried any of those, but did try an earlier Peregrine (10 maybe), and didn't like it. Too "dead" and heavy for my liking. But the newer versions are better from what I've read. It could be worth a try, given how popular they are. I do have all three of the Salomons I mentioned, but also have and like the Merrell Long Sky 2 and their Agility Peak, which I'm wearing more these days because they have a wider toe box.
r/trailrunning • Road Runner Interested in Trailrunning - Shoe Advice Needed ->I can only tell you what I would choose among all the shoes I have. Since it's so flat and fast, I'd start with my Salomon Sense Rides. But I don't think those have enough cushioning for 50K (at least, I've never taken them that far), so I'd have my Salomon Ultra Glides ready to go when/if needed. I like other brands, too, but none of the ones I have would be best for a course like that.
r/trailrunning • What type of shoes should I buy for this type of course? ->I like the Salomon s/lab ultraglide, but I know a lot of people prefer the ultraglide 2
r/AskRunningShoeGeeks • What shoe would you recommend for trail running? ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
