Salomon Dreamer - Men's
The Salomon Dreamer approach shoe combines running shoe, hiking boot, and climbing shoe technology to deliver fantastic fit and performance. Built on a running shoe last, the Dreamer has a supportive, lightweight fit. The Advanced Chassis supports your foot through rough terrain, saving your energy for your route. The PU heel provides the shock absorption and support of a hiking shoe, while the sticky rubber forefoot provides incredible traction when you get onto the rock. Low cut and low profile, the Dreamer's rubber toe cap will let you climb 5.6 and beyond before changing shoes.

Salomon Dreamer
Fit well. Boulder well. Climb 5.6. Run pretty well. Tongue fits a little weird (feels like it's open, or looks open). This is my 4th pair of Salomon's (wish they'd bring back the Exit II low or the Excentric).

Training Tips
When buying a new pair of running shoes, bring your old ones with you. You will get a better fit if you know if you supinate or pronate.
Heart monitors are useful for knowing when you are in the right zone for your training efforts. If you understand what your maximum heart rate is, you can set up your monitor to beep at you when you exceed the high or low range of your heart rate for the type of workout you are doing.
Cross training gives your body a chance to recover while still exercising. If yesterday has a hard run day up and down hills, then today's bicycle ride gives your aching knees a well deserved break.
Anaeroic threshold is when lactic acid starts to build up in your body as your muscles are not getting the oxygen they require. This threshold is typically expressed as a percentage of your VO2 max - the amount of oxygen per kilogram of weight that a person can use in converting fuel to energy. Elite athletes threshold might be as high as 90% of VO2 max.
