Hoka One Speed Goat 4 My wife and I love these shoes. They have a knobby Vibram sole, great traction. We get a couple years out of them.

I've got a pair of size 12 Salewah Mountain Trainers that are just too damn narrow for my feet. If you are interested please DM me.

Has anyone tried this newest variation of the Salomon X-Ultra series? They are intriguing, but was hoping to hear real feedback before I shell out $220

They look really pointy. Ouch. I like that Salomons run narrow, since I have narrow feet. Just wish they allowed toes to splay instead of squishing them together.

The pair I ordered arrived last night. They seem to have the same boot cut/shape as the regular X Ultra 4, which has a lot more toe space than the 3 had. The only real difference seems to be the tread pattern. I’m hoping they are better on wet rock, because the standard 4 does not have good wet grip.
