Salomon Speedcross 4 Trail Running Sneaker Shoe - Mens

I have had these shoes right at 1 year. These were my first Salomon shoes and will not be my last. The first time I slid these on they fit like a glove. I like the quick lace system. The soles provide great traction on all the challenges I threw at them from dry boulders to snowy slick conditions. My feet felt great and were not fatigued after wearing these. That is something that has never happened with any other shoe I have tried in the last 10 years. The only complaint I have is these only lasted 9 months before the side of the shoe blew out by my right pinky toe. I expected better but I have wore them literally every day since the purchase date. I have ordered the Speed Cross 5 Gore-Tex and I hope I get the same if not better results from those as well.
