SALOMONMen's Xa Pro 3D V8 Wide Trail Running

Really comfortable, great for the dessert, stable and strong, at the same time being very lightweight

would/will buy again

Pros:Way better than M... a certain popular competitor's brand. Makes the other brand seem like swap meet shoes. Wear these for working on roofs. Traction, comfort, breathability, and support are very good. Although I have flat feet, this is the only brand of work footwear that I don't put Superfeet in.Cons:In 5 months the tread is almost gone. Would be a "great" shoe if Salomon got rid of the asymmetrical lacing. The asymmetrical lacing makes the toe box crease weird. Although the crease doesn't cause discomfort, it annoys me.

My husband has multiple shoes but he loved these so much he bought 2 pairs. Lacing them is easy and he says they are very comfortable.

It's not water resistant. Your feet will get wet. I was playing catch with my daughter in the morning and within an hour my socks were wet. That shouldn't happen with a shoe this expensive. Unfortunately, I'm passed the Amazon return date/policy.
