These shoes are very comfy. The strap system is very secure and provides nice, even tension. I fear the thin wire will break, but Salomon seems to have a great warranty program. Excellent traction, especially on rocks and hard pack terrain. I had a lot of fun breaking them in during morning trail runs during a long weekend in Moab. Kind of an odd running shoe - support in the back, but more like a late, flexible racer upfront - taking some time getting used to. The Gore-Tex seems to work really well when I landed in a big puddle at the bottom of a rappel. Several other owners complained of sand getting in the mesh but their not as bad in this regard as my Vasque Breeze XCR mesh hiking boots.
