Like my first two pairs of Salomons, these Synapse CS shoes fit my "average to slightly wide" feet with one caveat: where I normally wear a size 12 (sometimes +/half a size), with these I require a 13. Thankfully, REI had that sometimes hard-to-find size in stock when they went on sale recently.What I like about these shoes:
+ I like the look. I'm a fan of orange, so the accents have my approval.
+ Compared to my other lightweght and breathable Salomon models, these ones wear a bit warmer and are waterproof. Love them for cold mornings.
+ Very good breathability, even with cotton socks.
+ Grip is great, despite the tread being a less aggressive "block" pattern vs. the previous styles I've owned.
+ Solid construction: Based solely on my previous pairs, the pull-laces were problem free, the sole never separated from the body, they held up well to the salt water I exposed them to. Only the tread wore down with normal usage, and that's more than I can say for most shoes I own.
It is important to note that I don't use these as a daily "trail runner" as they're marketed. They're more my weekend dog walking, kid toting, beach combing, "walking around" shoes. A lightweight shoe that offers me good support and isn't overly flexy.
