These mid shoes are great for fast hiking, but not ideal for trail running at all. Once you start hitting the puddle, shoes would get wet no matter how much GoreTex coverage it has. And once the Gore gets wet, takes very long time to dry up - not ideal for trail run.

They are super comfortable, and I have low height ones from many years ago that still going strong...well almost (recent year models have tendency to wear out quick)

My suggestion to Salomon is, to make these mid height in non-GoreTex version. I'm sure there's great market out there, including millions of crazy runners doing mud race etc.
