Salomon Women’s Alphaglide Gore-Tex Trail Running Shoe, Waterproof All-Terrain Shoes for Trail Running & Hiking

Trail shoes
These trail shoes are great quality and feel very durable. The waterproofing works well. My feet stayed dry on wet trails after the rain, which is a big plus. They also have a secure, stable feel and good grip on mixed terrain.However, they do run large, and even as someone who usually needs a wider toe box, I still found the fit a bit roomier than expected. The shoes are also on the stiffer side when new, so I’d definitely recommend breaking them in before taking them on a long hike or run. The arch support was okay, but I usually add professional insoles to all my running shoes. They are a little bulky, better for hiking than running. The price is comparable to my other running shoes.

Salomon Alphaglide trail running shoes run large
Sizing on these Alphaglides runs a half-size too large. I normally wear 8 ½ size running shoes, maybe even 9 sometimes since my feet run a little wider for some extra side cushion, but these trail running shoes were too big and there’s a lot of wiggle room in the toe box. They also seem narrow, but because of the larger sizing, I didn’t experience side pinching. Had I ordered the right size, it would’ve probably been too snug, as the interior has additional padding/cushion around the ankle area but doubles in keeping debris out.I did a light trail walk (under 3 miles) to break these in and experienced zero issues of rubbing or blistering. While I wouldn’t wear these trail running shoes because of the inadequate fit, they’re fine as just regular walking shoes, but these points stick out after the initial break-in period:– Love the color and overall style of the shoes.– They’re mid-lightweight, and the overall construction is sturdy and durable. However, the outsole is stiffer than the body. It should soften over time, though.– I have low arches and felt the arch support was appropriate and felt stable.– They’re noisy. Walking around the neighborhood, they make a popping noise, but you can’t hear it walking on the trail with dirt/soil crunching underneath.– There’s no grip on wet, slick rock, so crossing creeks is a super-slippery hazard.– Shoelaces are a little too long for my liking, almost comically so. When I’m running, I don’t like the excess shoelaces flopping around.

Runs Wide and Feels Stiff
These Salomon Women’s Alphaglide Gore-Tex Trail Running Shoes are light weight and are slip resistant. I do like both the color and style of these shoes.I have a wide foot and wear a size 10. The toe box of this shoe is actually too wide for my foot. The toe box is also stiff and makes a popping noise when walking around. I’m not sure if this is because of the gore-tex or the rubber toe covers.The insole doesn’t have much cushioning and feels a little stiff.The arch support is what would normally be expected.But the biggest disappointment is that the interior stitching looks like it’s already pulling apart and I’m concerned these shoes are not going to hold up over time.

Nice enough running shoe, but just average. nothing special at a decent price.
I’ve never owned Solomon shoes before so ordered my regular running shoe size 8. I would say these run a 1/2 size too large, and that a 7.5 would fit me best. They seem well made and I guess are fairly priced for running shoes these days. They seem comfortable and have average arch support (nothing special), although it’s a bit hard to tell exactly with them being a tad big. I currently have New Balance and would def stick with those over these.

Habe die Salomon Alphaglide für meine Frau bestellt, da sie eigentlich jeden Tag draußen im Feld mit unserem Hund unterwegs ist. Dank Gore-Tex und der entsprechenden Unempfindlichkeit gegen Nässe sind die Schuhe ideal. Das Design ist natürlich Geschmackssache, aber wir finden sie schick. Die Qualität und Verarbeitung der Schuhe ist absolut in Ordnung und dem Preis entsprechend. Hinsichtlich der Größe sollte man ggf. eine Nummer größer nehmen. Meine Frau trägt in der Regel 41 1/3, was mit den Schuhen gerade noch so funktioniert. Also vielleicht die nächste halbe Nummer größer nehmen, wenn möglich. Ansonsten eine klare Empfehlung von uns.

Die Schuhe werden in einem Schuhkarton geliefert.Die Verarbeitung macht erstmal einen guten Eindruck, beim ersten Tragen merkt man, das sie garnicht gut ist.Beim linken Schuh ist der hintere Rand falsch gemacht, man sieht dort auch eine vorstehende Naht.Das drückt wie verrückt wenn man den Schuh nur an hat, laufen geht da schon garnicht.Insgesamt sind die Schuhe auch extrem eng und klein.Man kommt kaum hinein, weil auch die Öffnung schon sehr knapp ist.Ich habe schon andere Schuhe der Marke und bin sehr zufrieden damit, diese hier gehen aber garnicht.Für solche teuren Markenschuhe so eine schlechte Qualität, das ist mir unverständlich.Ich habe noch nie so unbequeme Schuhe angehabt, die sind untragbar.
