text: Shoe is comfortable with a quick break-in.  Construction is noticeably thicker and less technical than other Salomons, but still tough and exceeded my expectations for the $40 I paid.  Sole is soft and grippy, with a less aggressive tread that won't turn into skates on slippery rocks.<br />Fit wise, they are designed with a bit of a heel drop and moderate arch support.  If you are looking for a slightly rugged shoe Primarily for casual use, I think you will be happy with these.
