Great shoe, some room for improvement

"This is one of the best trail running shoes that I have used. On flatter trails that designed for running, it is light, rugged, stable, with excellent traction. On more technical terrain it slips occasionally on rock and wet rock when ascending. I would describe it as an over-built running shoe, not a "hiking boot on a diet." I have worn it to run/speed hike some more rugged terrain and have noticed that two o..." Read Full Review »

"I like the free feel of this meshy shoe for the flats, but if you are thinking about running any terrain with moderate to steep descent, I would recommend looking elsewhere. I have run this shoe for about a month 1/2, distances up to 26 miles. I think the traction is good as most La Sportivas, but the translation to the foot is not secure. I got my first blister in 3 years running laps on Mt. Wire. The problem i..." Read Full Review »

"After receiving these shoes in the mail from REI, I gave them a pretty good workout and was impressed. There's a local park that has a good mix of terrain, with decent elevation (for the Midwest) and had a mix of mud and dry-ish surfaces. The shoes offered excellent grip and fantastic cushioning. …"  Read Full Review »

"I have been running on Salomons for a very long time now. I often switch running shoes but always end up going back. Now, I have a new favorite shoe! These shoes are light and stable. I have run several races in both trail and in the street. I honestly can't believe how versatile they are. "

"After 6 mos., and having tried several different trail shoes, the Wildcat has the best combination of features for me. While I'm a heavier runner, 190 lbs., and normally use a pronation control shoe, the Wildcat has worked great without any added inserts, etc. I now use them on the trail and on th …"  Read Full Review »

"My first pair of La Sportiva's. Had never heard of the Wildcat until I began researching. I am a trail runner and hiker and I use the same pair of shoes for both.
