Here you go Brad.

FWIW, if I was starting over again at the Mexican border, I’d be wearing Salomon X-Ultra 4’s. Very satisfied with their overall performance. Note the utter lack of “chunking”…. and I love the unique lacing system; very quick and easy to adjust tension on the fly and that’s really useful when doing long miles in varied terrain. And, in the years I’ve been pretty much wearing X-Ultra’s exclusively, I’ve found their “Contra-Grip” tread pattern to be the bar-none best overall sole pattern for traction in all conditions, that I’ve used in my life.

We should talk SOCKS. And blister management, lol.
