You know when you find a product so good, you just keeping buying it repeatedly? This is the case for me with the Salomon Alphacross series. I first started buying Alphacross trainers when they were Alphacross 3's - since then I have bought dozens of pairs through the 4 and 5 series. The latest 5 series continues to fit every requirement for me - comfort, good longevity and decent waterproofing in their GTX models. For me, this is a very comfortable shoe and the availability of half UK sizes (I'm a half-size) means I was able to get the perfect fit. Given that I've bought so many pairs of these shoes over the years, I think it's clear how I feel about them. This is a 5* product for sure! Just a few things to note - the weak spot of these shoes is the padding just behind the Achilles tendon, which tends to wear through. Although this has never personally bothered me and weirdly when the padding is gone, I don't find it uncomfortable (or even notice it). Also I've noticed the black variants tend to have a slightly harder sole compound compared to the other colours. I think it's just because of the material they make the sole out of, to change the colour. Again, it's not a problem for me, although for running, I do prefer the non-black colours which makes running slightly easier on the knees. However because the black soles are harder, they are also longer wearing, so it goes both ways.

Very comfortable shoe for me. I bought a half size up on my usual shoe size. This is my second pair - they are durable and don't fall apart. Good price here too.

I like the shoes, they fit my feet really well. They hold well both inside and on the ground. I use them for standing rowing on a boat. They work well even on wet surfaces. Very comfortable.

Ich mag die Schuhe, passen super an die Füsse. Top halt drin und auch am Boden. Benutze sie für eine stehende Rudersportart im Schiff. Auch mit nassen Untergrund alles gut. Sehr bequem.

I'm on my third purchase of this model: I think this is the best review, the only precaution is to take one size larger than my usual size

Sono al terzo acquisto di questo modello: penso questa sia la migliore recensione, unico accorgimento prendo un numero in più della mia solita taglia
