I have owned these shoes for over 5 years. Although this variation has received a facelift it appears identical. I'm back to order my next pair.<br /><br />The fit is great for me, I wear 10.5 typically and the Solomon 10.5 is dead on. They are quite comfortable, losing some of that after 5 years.  Five. Of being worn a load because they are my favorite shoes. The goretex or whatever the upper is made out of is great, breathable and keeps you cool, wicking well. The tread is nice, lightweight but offers good traction and sheds mud well.<br /><br />I am not a trail runner. But I avoid pavement in all things, so if I'm running, it's on that little dirt path beside the paved hike bike trail. I hike in them, they are great if you don't need ankle support and watch foot placement on rocky terrain. I am starting to climb some of the Colorado 14ers that are hike-able and will use these unless there is snow at the summit/cold temps. These are also my go to for mountain biking when I'm using flat pedals (for downhill).
