Salomon Extend Low XCR

£80.00

LFTO rating rating is 3
Owners' rating rating is 4

These multi-activity shoes from Salomon are quite roomy, both in volume and width, which combined with substantial padding, makes them very comfortable from the off. The shock-absorbing footbed enhances the comfort. They’re warm in action, though, probably due to the fairly sparse use of fabric in the upper. A medium-stiff midsole makes them easy to walk in, but takes the sting out of the trail when the going gets rough. The well-spaced lacing aids a secure fit, although the padding works against that slightly, with a fair bit of ‘give’ in it. The Contagrip outsole works well on medium soft ground, but is more slippery than most on wet rock.

Verdict: A good all-rounder that easily crosses over from casual use to walking on reasonably tough trails. Comfort is superb, providing the fit is right, and it would need to be at this price.

    I spent a day trying on trainers, but I just couldn`t find any that were comfortable, I get a lot of foot pain due to Plantar Fasciitis. The last shop we tried (Ellis Brigham) the staff were really helpful and mentioned that most people find Salomons comfortable. She wasn`t wrong, these are probably the most comfy shoes I`ve ever had. I`ve not used them for anything outdoorsy, but as everyday footwear they are unbeatable, and I`m sure they`d be ok for walking on decent paths. The soles aren`t particularly stiff, but that just helps the comfort.

    These shoes are the most comfy I've ever come across for my wideish feet. Love them :)
