The uber-breezy Salomon Patrol
Keeping feet sweat-free is business as usual for this featherweight hiker. A professional blogger hails it as a "super breathable" trail shoe.
Not the grippiest on the green
The Salomon Patrol's outsole is serviceable on dry backcountry surfaces. On wet grass, however, "you'll be slipping and sliding," says a gear pundit.
The same reviewer blames it on the midfoot section of the outsole, which is made of EVA, not rubber. He says that it's too spongy and struggles to provide surefootedness on grassy terrain.

There are those who find the subpar durability of the Patrol disappointing. "Only 2 stars for me," says an experienced hiker about the flimsiness of the shoe's sole unit. "The tread wears away fast," says another.
The Patrol's pleasing price
"A great bang for your buck"—this is what a footwear maven calls the Salomon Patrol. His love for the featured shoe stems from the fact that it only costs $80, which undercuts the average price of hiking shoes by $50.

Outdoorsy peeps are quite stoked about the head-turning design of the Salomon Patrol. The best comments about this are "good-looking everyday shoe" and "their most casual stylish shoe yet."
Wanted: A firmer tongue
The shoe's super-thin tongue makes wearing the Patrol a chore sometimes. One wearer says that "the tongue insert takes a bit of smoothing down before tying the shoe." "It does get pushed into the shoe more easily," says another. Yet one more trail-seeker says, "the tongue is too flimsy and needs to be redesigned."
