Approach Shoes: Salomon X-Over

Footwear — By Outdoor Adventure Guide on July 16, 2012 at 12:59 pm

Salomon X-Over £100

First impressions: A quirky and not unlikeable looking shoe It’s light with speed lacing to the toe. Salomon’s own Contagrip sole. Well padded tongue but no stitched gusset. Ortholite footbed.Made in China.

Men’s and Women’s models available.

FABRIC Synthetic and mesh

FIT Comfy and well padded, with Salomon speed lacing

SOLE Salomon Cntagrip

FOOTBED Ortholite

OAG Likeys Technical shoe with well-padded tongue and Contagrip sole.

OAG No Likeys With the lacing to the toe I would prefer an integral tongue to keep moisture out

Overall I walked the St Cuthbert’s way in a pair of Salomon’s with speed lacing and quickly became a fan of this system then

Verdict

Fit: 19

Design: 18

Performance: 18

Quality: 18

Value: 17

Overall:90/100
