I was looking for a light dependable pair of trail runners to use for 10+mile hikes. Compared to a number of other Salomon brand women's hiking shoes, which often ran long in the toe box, these are true to size. I was worried that they'd be too narrow but with little to no break-in, they fit great. I've used them on two hikes and noticed that they provided plenty of cushioning and the soles have a firm grip. The heel padding is a bit high but I haven't had any issues with rolling my ankle.I have been wearing Salomons for about 9 years! I have primarily worn the Speed Cross for trail running. I came across these in a running article and thought I would give them a try. The shoe fits true to size and the Ortholite inserts are great for my semi high arches! I have narrow feet and they still fit great! The tongue is built into the upper part of the shoe to give it more of that road running feel. The lacing system is the same where you can tuck the excess lace into the small pocket on the tongue.This shoe has the best of both worlds; feels great on the road and on the trail! They sounded a little stiff at the start, but they are not at all. I ran mostly sandy packed trails with some rock, up and down hills and the tread was great and responsive!! I ran 9 miles with no rub spots on my feet or blisters! This is a great shoe if you are looking for a nice Hybrid road/trail shoe or you want a great walking shoe for all terrain! I would buy them again!Happy trails!!MarieThese are the best shoes ever. I recommend them to anyone that will have to stand for a long period of time.For the first picture I’m standing on a really steep hill and the shoes are amazing the grip is incredible. In the second picture I have reached the top of a mountain and again the grip does not let you down at all. The shoes are very comfortable you can move easily in them and I don’t feel stiff. In the third picture I’m pretending to climb a cave as you can see the grip is amazing they are also waterproof. You also don’t have to worry about the shoelace being a bother at all. When I tie them when I put them on is the last time I have to adjust the lease. These shoes are everything I paid for and to think I almost return them.I love these shoes :-) I have a narrow foot and I have a really hard time finding shoes that fit my feet these days and I find that in these shoes I wear about a size one size smaller because they do not come in narrow but I can cinch them up all the way tight and they fit my feet like a glove ? if you have narrow feet I suggest going one size smaller in this regular with they fit me so wonderfully and they have such a good support so healthyThey bother around the ankles and run big. They also feels very low on the sole. I always wear Salomon, but this wasn’t my best choice. I wouldn’t buy this model again.These are very comfortable. Ladies size 12 is not as long as previous Solomon's. Toe box is a little shallower. I just wear thin socks.Its ComfortableThe trainers clearly states GTX but the actual trainers received are not, there is no forested tagTre bon product.original,bon livrasion,rapid.
