Bad shoes!! I can't believe the experience. I am not a novice runner (have a few marathons completed) however after only one mile running on these shoes I ended up with a broken foot!<br />Maybe it's user error... benefit of the doubt to the manufacturer here... but I ordered my size and they seemed a bit too large. Maybe that's the reason why my foot rolled with a resulting metatarsal fracture on my left foot.  Now I am not wearing Salomon running shoes, but an aircast boot and crutches :(
