O ok, well that's not too bad then. If I can wear them for a year at least I'll be happy. But I suppose you wear yours daily?

I have a pair of Salomon's that I've worn every day for the last two years and they're still in pretty good shape. Haven't even really needed to wash them in that time thanks to the weatherproofing!

I'm in the market for a pair and have never used them before.

See loads of people at work wearing them and I saw a nice green pair in Brooklyn mall.

Anyone with experience on these takkies? Also I see they go for about R 1.5k a pair. Is that the going rate?

These ones to be exact:

The M&S stands for mud and snow. You can get them cheaper at Cape Union Marts annual Save the Buck sale, they were on sale for about R1200 earlier this year IIRC. These Speedcross shoes seem to increase in price every year however :sick:.

I considered them but instead went for the Wings Pro as the soles are more multi purpose and will last longer I plan on using them for day hikes).
If you're with Vitality you can get 25% off the price (R1900) from Sportsmans (if they are considered running shoes).

They come in blue and green+grey.

But if it's only for office wear and it's more something colourful you're looking for, then go pick a shoe that is colourful and comfy, trail running shoes for the office seems overkill and not suitable IMO.

For gym and comfort my next pair will be these Adipure 2.0's and since you like green here you go:

You get better running shoes than the Nike shox at that price though.

*cough* Asics *cough*

Never owned Salomon before but do own a pair of Merel's (sp?) in similr price range. These things are tough.
 
This thread reminds me of the "why do white people wear trail/hiking shoes to the office" thread. :D

Only because of my employee discount at the outlet store. And of course I have to wear the merchandise at work. Do your friends at the Guess outlet wear anything besides Guess clothing?
 
You can't be serious. Those are like crocs in terms of general vileness. I just hate the hideous shoes people are wearing nowadays.
