"They’re lightweight and comfortable, with a grippy sole that’s great for hikes but also easy to walk in."

"I always hate wearing my Salomon trail runners in the city on sidewalks…"
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 ->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 ->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? ->If you wanted shoes with spikes, I'd have said the Salomon Wintercross Spike, but if you're going to use microspikes, then maybe the S/Lab Genesis Spine would give the same protection of the Wintercross but with a regular sole
r/trailrunning • Best running shoes for Antarctica ->I used Hoka Mafates for my winter running. They grip well in snow and ice. For more extreme weather.I have a pair of Salomon Spike Cross shoes
r/trailrunning • Norda for winter road running? ->I've run the 10mi of this race a few times I've run it in Brooks Cascadias and some kind of Solomans. I run at Goverment canyon all the time with Merrill Antoras. I like having a rockplate because the canyon is full of rocks but I wouldn't consider it a need for McAllister park.
r/trailrunning • What type of shoes should I buy for this type of course? ->Absolutely, did all of the ABC trek in trail runners (Hoka, Salomon). You really appreciate the lightness of them.
r/hiking • Can trail runners really be used for hiking ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
