So comfy and supportive!
By Suzanne M. Gundlach
Another great shoe from Salomon! I have very high arches and usually have to use an strong carbon fiber orthotic in my Brooks running shoes (for years!). Over the past 12 months, I have been transitioning to all Salomon because to the level of comfort and support of the high arch - works for me! No orthotic! I have the XR Mission this revew is for in the *awesome* celadon/papaya color combo, the XT Wings 2, and the XT Wings GTX for all weather hiking/trails/approach. They run large, you may have to go down a 1/2 size.

Great shoes
By Vanhoofer
Got those shoes after I hurt my knees running on different shoes. Those shoes are great, offer great arch support and stabilize your foot.I am prone to hip and knee injuries if the shoes are not supportive enough. With these shoes, I haven't had a single injury. They are trail running shoes, but I run on them on a regular basis. I run on pavement,beach, grass, track, it holds up really good! If you need a lot of support, I recommend those shoes.

not really for running
By S. McCabe
I bought these because I'd heard great things about Salomon's as trail-running shoes. These shoes look great and seem like good hiking shoes, but the arches are too high for running (and I have high arches!). I had half-dollar sized blisters on the arches of both feet following a 4-mile run, and the next run just continued to aggravate the spot. I don't recommend them for running, and I'll stick with my Asics.
