    You are one of my very favorite running channels in You Tube. Thank you for devoting considerable time to reviewing clothing and gear other than shoes, and thank you for your videos out on location, and thank you for replying to many of the comments to your videos. I like your choice of which shoes to review. I like that you gave a fair review to my favorite daily trainer, the On Running Cloudstratus V2.

      @Run4Adventure  2 года назад +1

      The Jawz is a fantastic shoe in wet, soft, muddy conditions Dano 👌
      I'd say they are quite similar. The Jawz is a bit lighter and more flexible but the Salomon shoe would give you a bit more underfoot protection. Hope this helps and thanks for watching the channel it's really appreciated 🙏😊

    Thank you! Found the version 1 of this shoe to be too harsh for anything other than very soft ground, which is mostly lacking here in Colorado. The Speedland PDX, in contrast, is agile and comfortable on rock as well as muddy and boggy trails. Just raced the PDX in the bayous of Louisiana and won’t be going back to Salomon anytime soon! Always enjoy your videos!

    They look great for my local area and style of footstrike. Have you seen the couple of reviews on the Salomon site on these? Saying that they have a fatal flaw in that they let in dirt and debris somehow down a gap in the upper that gets stuck around the laces? Can't see how that would be but I've never seen them in real life. Thanks for the video, i'd been looking forward to it!

    I have the Salomon S/LAB CROSS and S/LAB SENSE 8 SG, I love those shoes! They are quite narrow and had to stretch them a bit since I have quite wide feet, but they are my favorit running shoes depending on the surface I run on. I am a forefoot runner and like the fact they have so little drop... Another shoe I quite like is the Asics GEL-FujiTrabuco SKY... For real winter adventure I have the Salomon S/LAB XA Alpine 2...

    Love this shoe and have the first version. Wish there were more low to the ground nimble offerings. Not a big fan of plated, high stack or high drop shoes for trail or road.
    I run in these on trail and Reebok Run Fast Pros on street (Love the Run Fast Pros)
    I’m curious though, whether this second iteration improves on anything.
    Asking, because although I love them. The heel portion could be a just a little more secure though.
    Might just be due to me having a slightly high instep.

    • @Run4Adventure
      @Run4Adventure  2 года назад

      I don't think there's a lot of changes to the new version of the shoe. The upper has had a slight re-design so it might have improved things. Obviously fit of a running shoe upper is so personal but I find the fit of the Cross 2 amazing! I actually ran in it today and I forgot to pull the Speed laces down and the upper still felt really well locked down around my foot. Thanks for watching the channel and Happy New year! 🎉

      Cross 2s also collect a lot debris between the upper and the sock liner at the toe section. On the other hand they are really nice to run on "technical" trails and off trail too.
