Review on Top-notch Performance: Salomon XA PRO 3D v8 GTX Men's Trail Running Shoes by Thimothy Purnell

I have been using the Salomon Men's Xa Pro 3D GTX version of this shoe for quite some time with great success due to the durability and quality of the shoe. This new version of the "V8" only lasted 6-7 months and lost its grip, the foam between the insole and outsole came loose and the shoe wore out after 6 months of use. As I mentioned in the title, the buying and delivery process was excellent and I appreciate it. The new version is simply not structured like the previous version. Not sure why Salomon changed such a great product but my first experience was that the shoe was a little less durable and didn't have the quality that only lasted half the life of the previous version. I don't know why Salomon changed the quality and lifespan of the product, but I see that many other products in the world seem to have short lifespans, presumably in the name of selling more product. I find this path to be detrimental to good business practices and probably in the name of making more profits from great products. I hope Salomon can improve the product in this category.
