This is without a doubt the best fitting, most comfortable, cross-training/running type shoe that I have ever worn. I like them so much that my wife purchased a pair and so has one of my grown daughters. They are both in agreement with me (which is not always the case). You can say nothing less than that they are fantastic! They Ortho-inner sole actually conforms to your foot for maximum comfort and fit. Great for hiking or just everyday wear. I hope that Salomon never stops making this shoe! SMS
