Salomon XR Mission after 1 month 05/24/2012

Ok, I thought I'd write another quick review on my Salomon XR Mission's that I bought recently. I have been training very hard in the hills with them. Did Iron Mountain (Poway, CA 6 miles) yesterday. These shoes are begining to have the feel of a lightweight, cushioned running shoe. Not as light and comfortable as the Nike Vomero's I wear for running, but I consider them the equivalent for trails. Plus, they have great arch support. I was concerned about the tread being able to grip rocky terrain, but so far so good. I would like to see how they handle a wet surface still. Their durabilty has also been impressive. They have been banged and scraped a ton and have handled it too. Really putting them to the test. I definitley want to see how long the tread lasts. But, again, no signs of wear at all. I am a believer and at $110, I am glad !
