But definitely try before you buy, not the kind of thing to buy online IMO.
I had a pair of Salomon approach shoes a few years ago before my knee was totally shot.
I could run as well as walk in them and the first time I wore them I did 16 miles over the West Pennine Moor.
I'd had a pair of Meindl's before and even when the shoe needed replacing the soles still looked new.
