I do about 3 trail runs / week and have now owned about 10 different Salomon shoes.  This model is expensive (probably too expensive), but definitely a great shoe.  I've always found paying extra for "waterproof" trail shoes to be a bit silly simply because if you're feet are going to get wet, they will definitely be getting into the top of the shoe!  I run through creeks all the time - unless you're wearing a high top of some sort - your feet are getting wet.  Period.

But, this is a great shoe!
