I have owned these shoes for about 3 weeks and have only hiked about 12 miles of trail, but I must say that I am pleased thus far. Here are my pros:1. The lacing system is great and it really form fits around your foot. You also dont have to worry about your laces snagging on anything in thick brush.2. The waterproof is awesome. I stood in a pond nearly to the top of the shoe for about 10 seconds and my feet were dry as can be.3. The shoes look fantastic. People comment on them wherever I go.If the laces break I imagine I'd be screwed but I'd call Salomon and make them send me another pair of these gems. I strongly recommend these shoes.

If you look at the"stays" for the laces, there are 4 on either side. The top 3 are wider and more robust than the bottom row. The bottom row tears through and breaks. I can't help but think that if they were the same construction as the upper three rows, they wouldn't break. Frustrating. My shoes are only 3 to 4 months old. One stay on each shoe is broken. Any warranty on these?
