These are a little heavier then some of my previous trail shoes from La Sportiva, Salomon or Vasque, and I was originally not happy with their lack of waterproofing or how they drained if they did get wet.  But once I learned they are just not meant for water, and I keep them dry, they have been an awesome additional to my collection of trail shoes.

Their grip is phenomenal, especially for hill climbing.  They have lasted quite a few miles, and are showing little signs of wear.  I love the Salomon lacing, it is great for when you get something in your shoe on a trail and want to quickly clean it out. If you aren't in a wet area these are great, I would happily recommend them any day.
