    Comments about Salomon XA Comp 4 GTX Trail-Running Shoes - Women's:

    Excellent shoe; comfortable right out of the box and onto the trails.

    After my first long day hike, I replaced the insole with Green Superfeet (because I have high arches), but I have to do with with all my shoes, so it's my feet rather than the shoe.

    I use for Sierra day-hikes (which can be dry/dusty or wet/sticky), and the shoes excel in all terrains. They really are waterproof (a wave went over my foot this summer--foot stayed dry), and they're not too hot in the summer. Toebox offers plenty of room, and the side support straps keep my foot stable up and downhill.

    With the shoes, I wear wigwam light hiking socks (w/out liners), and I have had no blisters or problems in miles of hiking.

    I bought originally for a trip to Costa Rica during the rainy season (where the shoes performed admirably), and since then I've used them some for everyday but mostly for day hikes in the Bay area or Sierras. Great performance in all terrain. Good traction, good support, plenty of room for my feet without allowing them to move around too much.

    I don't know how they work with longer backpacking trips when you might need additional ankle support. These shoes have ankle support that is higher than typical running shoes but lower than mid-hiking shoes. With my 8-10lb daypack and 5-15 mile day hikes, and with my weak(er) ankles, however, they've worked out great so far.

    Lace system works great and holds the tightness without problems. I haven't had to stop to tighten at all.

    Finally, the shoes look cool and garner frequent compliments and inquiries. I very much enjoy wearing them.

    Highly recommended; I have narrow feet and high arches. If they don't support your arches enough, blame the insole (not the shoe). Change out your insole for Superfeet or Sole, and then try the shoe again. They'll likely work out great for you as they have for me.

      Comments about Salomon XA Comp 4 GTX Trail-Running Shoes - Women's:

      I purchased the Women's Salomon trail/running shoe based on the high recommendation of a friend, who swears by them. I thought, ok, let's see what they're all about, not wanting to get my hopes up. I was impressed from the first moment I slipped into them. I went ahead and bought one pair of Women's Salomon's which are of the breathable fabric for sunny days, and another in the gortex, for rainy weather. I actually look forward to putting them on. Nothing easier, as they don't have to be tied. You just pull the shoestrings to comfort position, and push down on the "slide," which neatly (and easily)tucks into a pocket. The arch support is heavenly, as I have a high arch. I have ample toe room, which is important when you're tender-toed. They're brilliantly lightweight, and I love wearing them walking the dog and running around town on errands. They're really great.

      • Feels half size too small
