I had the predecessor and had carried him six times a week for nine hours a day. Was very happy, unfortunately broke up after a year, the sole. In this "mileage" you can still be happy and so I also ordered me back this. I have just the same size as that of the old order which I had bought at the sporting goods store and he fits as the old one. Here Salomon seems to stick to its sizes. The (G) ore (t) e (X) models are actually completely waterproof and to carry through the removable OrthoLite insole well with prescribed insoles. What I have not figured out is where the difference between the new and my old with the added "Ultra 2" in the name is. Maybe I can because sometimes a elucidating whether that was just a name given to the older model or if there actually is a little different. Salomon responds to ask unfortunately only with newsletters and not having answers. Therefore, for example, also a star deduction. Otherwise I am, if the shoe maintains a year, satisfied.
