Salomon Drx Defy Grvl

Salomon Drx Defy Grvl review: what runners say

Fit

Generous fit by Salomon standards, with a longer-than-expected toe box. Recommended to size down a half size or stay true to size; wide feet are accommodated.

Feel

Medium cushioning, energetic foam that absorbs without feeling soft. Versatile cruiser ride on asphalt and gravel, stable thanks to the Active Chassis.

Durability

Contagrip outsole with 2.5 mm lugs; after 50 miles of testing, minor wear noted on the forefoot lugs. Mileage expectancy not defined by sources.

Best for

Daily training on mixed asphalt-gravel-light trail. Not a replacement for a technical trail shoe or a performance road shoe; the tool for runners who change surfaces every outing.

Weak points

Non-gusseted tongue with poor structure: shifts during the run and reduces lockdown. The ankle collar sits high and can rub against the ankle bone in off-road conditions.
