Pros: Much better than M. a popular competitor Makes another brand seem like a shoe to share. Wear them to work on rooftops. Grip, comfort, breathability and support are very good. Although I have flat feet, this is the only brand of work shoe that I don't wear Superfeet in. Cons: Almost no profile in 5 months. Would be a "great" shoe if Salomon would do without the asymmetrical lacing. The asymmetrical lacing creates strange folds in the toe area. While the crease isn't uncomfortable, it bothers me.
