Tested on a 50km hike on Lemmenjoki. The summit of the fells was a success with a day pack and the shoe also worked well on the actual hike with a 25kg backpack. The grip was especially good even on wet roots. The water grip was excellent and I was able to cross shallow streams etc. without worry. In heavy rain, the collar sucked water in through the legs, but the water came in such a way that even with rubber boots, I would have survived with dry toes. The collar of the shoe rubbed/pressed a bruise on my right foot, but I was able to fix it by trying different tightening methods. However, my left foot was fine the whole trip, so it's probably more of a problem with my anatomy. Good purchase. I'd happily walk to the end, which is why I'm giving it one minus star because it looks like it won't even last five years. Time will tell.

I have narrow feet and Salomon fit them perfectly and this shoe is no exception. It is more stable than a regular Salomon shoe and I find it flexible and comfortable even though it is a boot. It breathes well but is for colder climates. It is easy and smooth to lace up even though it is not the quick version. Can recommend this.
