I wanted to give these  Salomon a try since I'm a die hard Merrells aficionado. change is good right?...well, lets dive in the review and see.  I wanted these for walking/running shoe.  When I got them, I felt they were heavy for a running/walking shoe.  The size was on target as I wear a 8.5M and I chose 42 EU.  I know your feet don't match, but the right shoe just don't feel as comfortable as the left.  You have to find the right lace tautness for them to be comfortable...IMHO.  I like the comfort of the Merrells with comparison to this shoe. I love the colors and the lace feature. I doubt I will buy another pair of Salomon, however, they are well made.  I will use these as gym shoes/camping shoe.  I just ordered the La Sportiva running shoes as I feel they will suit my needs better for walking/running  than these Salomon XA Pro 3d trail running shoe.

Pros: Colors and Design, great Ankle support, laces features, breath ability, well balanced construction
Cons: fit was somewhat strange, heavy, not has comfortable as a Merrells, more expensive than Merrells,
