Mr. Wilson
Release: Unknown



Grindplate: N/A

The Mr. Wilsons were the first grind shoes to be made by Salomon, and also the first to feature a sole plate, in addition to the lateral (50/50) plate in the arch of the sole. The plates on these shoes were softer than their successor, the X Factor, which gave the wearer more feel of the obstacle beneath them, although this made the plates slower. They featured a unique lace-up system which made putting on/removing the shoes much quicker.

I emailed salomon about these cause.. they're pretty sweet in my opinion. But I got a reply back saying that all the production of these was overseas so they don't know if the plates,dies,cast are still available or parts and haven't been for along time. Shame. But hey I asked and thats all it takes to make people wonder.

Looks like someone would go hiking in these

Mar 23, 2007 Surfaced

Yeah the colors and lace setup makes them look like hiking boots. Same goes for the yellow Soap Spike.

They're still a history making shoe. I anyone owns these, how well is this sole plate on this shoe? Is it better than the one on the Broadsides?

Apr 5, 2007 AnthoFlex

Nope, the sole plates on these are narrow as hell

Apr 5, 2007 SonicSoaper

Damn. Oh well, beggers can't be choosers.

Apr 5, 2007 snikas

there nice shoes though

Apr 5, 2007 SonicSoaper

True.

Apr 5, 2007 Mart

I found I had a lot more control out of my X-Factors than I did with Broadsides because of the narrower plate

Apr 5, 2007 Surfaced

Mart, do you still have those X-Factors? I don't think any of us have seen them.

Apr 5, 2007 AnthoFlex

I asked for a pic on teh X factor link but noone gave me one....*sigh
