Hiking Shoe/Trail Runner - 01/17/21
Tell me about Salomons....any good?
I wont spend a fortune, so have stuck with Merrell and Columbia. Currently have Merrell Moab, Moab2, Moab Vent...... gotta say not a fan of Merrell. Wide toe box just a bit too wide, outsole not near as grippy as Columbias(have probably 5 different pairs) and the Merrells feel like they just dont provide enough side support....im talking all lows here, no mids...but I find the Columbias much more "stiff" and supportive.
Columbias are, well, cheap. They dont last. Like I said, love the design of the outsoles, but they fall apart.
I need something with an outsole as aggressive as the one on the left, Goretex, good arch.....I hear Salomons are good, opinions?
BTW, these are all rarely worn. These particular ones, though I love the outsole on the left, hurt my feet on first hike so they sit.
