Salomon Expert Low GTX Hiking Shoe - Women's
The Salomon Women's Expert Low GTX is a low-cut light hiker that provides protection and support to tackle terrain from the street to the trail. The Gore-Tex lining is breathable and waterproof—enough to keep your feet dry in puddles, but the low cut means you'll need to steer clear of anything more than ankle-deep. The stiff chassis is designed to offer excellent push through protection, torsional rigidity, and forefoot flex while reducing the overall weight of the shoe. What that all amounts to is more energy, more control, and more comfort for your feet, whether you're slogging around town in the rainy Northwest or tackling a quick day hike. Clothed in a combination of full grain nubuck, split suede leather, and breathable air mesh, the Expert Low GTX is both supple and supportive. A protective rubber toe and heel wrap helps keep painful toe-stubs to a minimum. Salomon's one pull lacing system makes taking these shoes off and on as easy as an oversized, unlaced skateboard shoe.

Love Salomon-just not Expert Low GTX
I am a return Salomon wearer but was disappointed by the Expert Low GTX. The heel is very low and there is no arch support. They lace to the top of the shoe and come over the tongue. I'll try Salomon again but not this style.
Dry and Warm
These shoes are GREAT for camping purposes. The wet morning grass takes no toll on the Gore-Tex, they dry off quickly and stay clean from the scotch guard on them. A bit heavy of a heal which is good for hiking. Kept my feet very dry and i love them! Editor's note: We do not recommend using Scotchguard on high-performance Gore-Tex shoes.
Not the best choice
I love Salomon shoes, but these left my feet aching and blistered after a long hike (and yes, they were already broken in). Take my advice. Don't get the Gore-Tex shoes (but I highly recommend the Solaris Low).

Training Tips
You can increase your maximum oxygen consumption by approximately 15% when you work out three times a week for at least 30 minutes at 70% of your maximum heart rate.
Low weight, high rep circuit training combines the best of both worlds: aerobic and anaerobic training. Keeping the rest time in between high repeats low excercises like bench press, leg presses, inclined sit-ups, and upright rows is the key to maximum benefits.
As a long distance runner, a gradual increase in distance each week will allow you to build a solid areobic base. Distance increase should be no more than 10% of the previous week's distance.
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.
