This is my first Salomon. I was looking for a light, comfortable and durable hiking boots and decided on this pair based on the good reviews I've read. These boots broke-in pretty easily and despite me suffering from plantar fascitis, these boots were really comfortable.  Like I was wearing basketball shoes. They're light and fit snug like a glove while also offering very good ankle support. The item was delivered within the specified time frame and arrived in very good condition. Highly recommended! Great service from Amazon!
