Perfect shoe to get an old man to and through his first 100 miler!
I'll use them for my first ever ultra – Single Track Maniac in Williamsburg, VA!
I'd use them for my first 50.
After about a year off from running due to injury, I'll use these to hammer trails all over the east coast. And the west coast. And sure, the midwest and deep south too. No matter what, it's gonna be a great year for me!
I would use the Mantras to run free in the AZ desert.
Would love to replace a current pair of Solomon's that I've worn the treads down to nothing…. …enjoying the trails of the Marin Headlands and Mt Tam.
Enter me and I will use the shoes to run the trails behind my house, up into the mountains where I can feel free!
I'm currently traing for my first 50 miler, Hells Hills in April. Being a larger guy 265lbs shoes tend to wear out fast. I currently run in speedcross 3's and would love to try another Saloman product. Byron, will you be at HH this year, I looked for u briefly last year, but was too worn out . Hope to see you at HH this April
I'd use them to run the Post Oak and Jemez Mountain trail races, for starters. Great looking shoes!
Training for my first 100 miler!!!
Training for my first 100 mile attempt!
I'd use them for preparing for my first ultra run of 50 miles this Spring.
Have never tried Salomon, always up for something new.
Plan on running more ultras in 2013, would utilize for training.
Even though I have never run a race longer than a half-marathon, my daughter has the dream that we will one day run an ultra together. These shoes will help me train in order to fulfill that dream!
To see if anything can tear me away from my Cascadias.
I could definitely use a new pair of shoes to help me with the mucky trails this winter…
I could definitely use a new pair of Salomon Sense Mantra to help me with the training for my Spring Ultras and possibly my first 50 miler
I would use Salomon Sense Mantra to train for the Pikes Peak Ascent.
Would love to get running on these for a summer 50
I am running my first 50 miler this year and would love a pair of Salomon's to help with that training since I am running in 10 year old flats right now!
Great work in 2012!
Shoes will help this senior trail runner to continue "relentless forward progress." (shameless pandering!)
Hello! I finished my first ultra at the JFK 50 miler and I'm hooked! I would love to have the Salomon's to train for The Ray Miller 50 and then my first 100k!
To run the trails in the low country or the mountains, and not grow weary.
I would use mine to be on-time for entering gear giveaways.
Would try to beat them up on some gnarly trail

Oops. Sorry for doing twice. (Thought first one failed)
Last minute entry. Would love these shoes to help me train for my first 50 miler in 2013.
Bryon,
When will you inform the winners? These shoes sound awesome!
Hi Ben,
I'll post the winners in the next few days. Had lots of family time (traveling and at home) over the holidays… so everything has been on a must do basis.
Nice! Good for you Bryon, happy new year and thanks for a great website!
I would wear the to train and chase my olympic trials dream for the marathon and show the world an averege runner can make it. Also I am donating all my procceds from any race winnnings to childrens charitiy in rembrance of all the children from sandy hook….

Hey Anon, rest assured that late entries won't be selected.
Be careful of this shoe if you are on the edge of the "D" width…this is a very narrow shoe…I had to send mine back from where I bought it because it was too narrow. I wear a 9 1/2 and would have had to go up to approx an 11 to get the width at a comfortable level. Just saying.
It is based on a racing last so runs snug, but if you wore the Sense the mantra has more room for the toes. Even so it is not the roomiest of shoes, but they do give a bit one on but still retain the slipper like feel that keeps your feet gripped nice and safe!
