text: I love Salomon shoes and have had several different models.  They fit great and typically have a large toe bed.  I also love the quick lace up system. My chief complaint is that they just don't hold up over time.  I blew through this model in two months.  The bottoms were completely worn out in spots.  I expect to get a least six months out of a pair shoes.  These are not the cheapest out there and considering the brand I would expect a higher quality.
