My usual shoe is the
Salomon XA pro, I was looking for a slightly lighter weight
Salomon, and ordered the Mission. these are
Salomon-sized that is for most runners they will seem about 1/2 size larger than say an
Adidas. the heel pocket seems a bit deeper than the XA pros, with a wide enough forefoot, but otherwise the fit seems reasonable close to the XA pros. i have only been out running in these up to 2 hrs or so at a time (in some snow, some mud), but they are billed as a short to medium distance shoe, so that is probably within their intended use. I have fairly high arches and don't need or want extreme motion control and these
shoes do not seem to be over-structured. I have worn Salomons for a number of years, and i am happy to add these
shoes to my
Salomon shoe quiver.
