Inside Look: Salomon Predict Hike Mid GTX *Running Shoe Comfort*

[@linedwell]

I really like those. It's not that often you get men's shoes in nice colours, it's all red and grey and black. Manufacturers should know that men also like colours.

[@trekitt]

We do, as proven by Ben's purple pair!

[@linedwell]

@@trekitt you know...if I edit my comment so that "Ben's purple pair" is taken out of context, it might confuse some people... 😜

[@jessegpresley]

colours suck. black, grey, green for me.

@@trekitt do you think they are good for winter? I mean temperatures like -15

[@BiggieBUL]

Hey, great vid! I need ancle support for mountain hikes and breathability so my feet dont get too hot during the summer. These seem like they get hot... correct? Can you reccommend a good model that protects the ancle and is breathable? Thanks!

[@trekitt]

For something purely for summer use, a non-membraned boot or mid may be more suitable as they will be more breathable, but they then won't be waterproof. For specific recommendations we would always suggest going to your nearest specialist outdoor retailer for a footwear fitting so you can be fitted correctly - everyone's feet are slightly different, so what works for one may not work for another. If you're local to our Hereford Service Centre, or willing to travel, we offer a dedicated footwear fitting service that can be booked through our website. We can also provide over the phone advice visa our customer service team. www.trekitt.co.uk/pages/appointments/

I have these and I find they fit small. I'm a UK size 10. Normal width, I think, but large volume. Size 10 is tight for me and that with fairly thin socks.

[@mattmarcroft8931]

I just bought some of these, and they seem very comfortable. I originally bought some Hoka Sky Toa’s, but some of the laminate peeled off within an hour of wear on those. I am between a UK 8, and a UK 8.5 - in the 8.5 my big toe was touching the end, weirdly. So I have sized up to a 9. Length is great, but there is a lot of volume in toe box - I may try a volume reducer. Gonna give these a try - I think they will be perfect for light hiking

[@mauriceweaver75]

I had the same problem with my HOKA SPEEDGOAT 4 Mid GTX. Thanks for your input. I really want to try these. How do you think they will hold up to light trail running?

[@trekitt]

Enjoy, they should be ideal for light hiking. Harry

[@mattmarcroft8931]

@@mauriceweaver75 Hi Maurice, I think they would likely be fine for a bit of trail running. They seem to share a fair bit with the predict running shoe - inc the outsole, but I expect the midsole on there is stiffer. Certainly they would be as good at trail running as the Hoka Sky Toa, and these Predict Hike do seem very well build 👍

[@mattmarcroft8931]

@@trekitt Thanks Harry, will do! BTW, did you find that length of shoe was a bit short in your normal size when testing them?

[@trekitt]

@@mattmarcroft8931 Ben opted for his usual size and I had to go up half a size.

[@mutrax]

They look nice !! How do they compare with the Salomon X Ultra 4 Mid GTX !!

[@trekitt]

The X Ultra's feel a bit more boot-like and, in my opinion, feel a little wider. The Predict's are closer to a running shoe in terms of feel underfoot and are designed for less-arduous activities/locations. Harry

[@gregorydelienne8508]

Are they ok let's say for mount washington?

[@trekitt]

I'm not familiar with Mount Washington and its terrain unfortunately, so wouldn't like to give a concrete answer. These are suited towards relaxed/less technical use where you probably won't be carrying a lot of weight. Light, fast and comfy.

[@AriSM88]

Hello, are these warm enough for snow conditions?

[@trekitt]

The Predict Hike is a lightweight option that is more suited to 3-season use rather than snowy conditions, it's very breathable and not particularly warm, so would struggle in snowy conditions.

[@nnamvongful]

Thanks for the video. How do they compare to the outpulse?

[@trekitt]

The Outpulse haven't arrived with us yet I'm afraid, so I've not had the chance to try them.

[@carillion09]

Hi, I'm walking hadrians wall route with lowa renegades but there is about 30 miles on potential tarmac. Would these be ideal or would I be OK with lowas?

[@trekitt]

I'm not familiar with Lowa I'm afraid, but these will be fine for some road use. It will wear out the soles faster than grass, but you won't kill them in 30 miles. Harry

[@nurielweiss8884]

could you guys do a review on the NEW Arc'tercyx Norvan LT hoody, no vids online

[@trekitt]

I'm afraid it isn't an item we stock, so we won't be able to carry out an Inside Look. Sorry! Harry

[@ibrahimomar7431]

Hi team, can you please do a review on the Nike ACG Air Mowabb

[@trekitt]

I'm afraid not. Nike isn't a brand we stock, sorry. Harry

[@hectorvelez79]

got these, they run small..got 10.5, and the insole has 10 embossed on it...also laces are terrible...those round laces, untie constantly, even when you make double knot..

[@ericfoutch2606]

You make an 8.5 in 6E width?

[@trekitt]

We stock a UK 8.5 but the width is standard across the range. I would recommend trying them on before purchasing as everyone's feet are different. Harry

[@zamfully]

Very helpful thank you.

[@kawkaw20]

after wearing Nike Zoomx invincibles for over a year, these felt like a rock in terms of comfort. But I put some extra soles they are good and they are really smart looking compared to other hella ugly hiking shoes

[@trekitt]

Yeah, I suppose it's just a matter of what you're used to. I usually wear Scarpa leather boots, so these feel like you're walking on a cloud.

[@mauriceweaver75]

Been waiting on review of these. I am a Salomon & Hoka One One fan. I do feel as if Salomon sells the more durable hiker. Is it safe to say that this hiker is comparable to the Hoka Speedgoat 4 Mid or Hoka Toa GTX?

[@trekitt]

It's a similar concept in the sense that they're both designed with heavy influence from running shoes, but I've not personally tried any Hoka footwear, so I can't comment on fit and feel. Harry

[@KDC_1899]

would they be suitable for doing the GR20 in Corsica?

[@trekitt]

I'm not aware of the GR20, but after a bit of Googling and finding out it's classed as 'Europe's Toughest Trek' I'm going to suggest they won't be quite up to it. Possibly choose something stiffer and more supportive. Better yet, pop in and see us for a professional footwear fitting. Harry
