Easy switch to : Salomon Thundercross, I like the gtx version . Ran a bunch of 50 k UTMB races in Europe and never had one blister. Ran the whole TMB and no foot issues.
But then I found Kailas 330 and honestly no looking back
You will have have no blisters. I don’t tape my toes but I wear xbionic socks or compressport only. Makes a huge difference. Just did a 100k. Don’t worry about my feet at all. Not a single blister or hot spot.
Salomon Glide Max TR 3rd pair- 200 miles - Distance on buffed out nontechnical trail.
Salomon Thundercross 2nd pair - 50 miles - Winter with screws
Salomon Genesis 2nd pair - 180 miles - Do anything shoe at casual pace
Merrell Agility Peak 5 - 112 miles - Technical trail, foot protection, but untrustworthy at speed.
Salomon Genesis S/Lab - 354 miles - Do anything at speed, nearing end of life. Replacement pair waiting in the closet.
Hoka Clifton 9 - 304 miles - Pavement
Yea. Bought the thundercross thinking they would be a similar fit with a broader range of use case scenarios, and within 3 months was back to my Speedcross
You love them, but I guess you haven't try them before right? The Salomon is a especific terrain tool (muddy terrain), the Merrell will mach way better as a do it all shoe.
If you like the Salomon fit have a look at the genesis or maybe thundercross if you are not running very long and in somehow muddish terrain.
Salmon contragrip is above average. 4mm lugs. My only complaint about the shoe is it doesn’t breathe well and can be warm, but for cooler seasons it’s great.

Versatile road-to-trail, but struggles on wet, technical downhills.
