I wanted to try an unknown shoe for trail running and found Salomon (I bought the red pair).  I really enjoy the shoes, I like the lace system (it was hard to get use too, was either to tight or not tight enough), and they do last.  I beat them up climbing/running South Mountain and Camelback Mountain here in Arizona.  They will be my 1st choice in buying trail running shoes in the future.  I'm wear them right now at work.  =-)
