I was really disappointed to find that the colour is not as shown in this photo because I selected it over other brands for this reason. The top colour is an olive green. The shoe is proving hard to wear in because it is very stiff. I would not buy again. I didn’t return because I needed new shoes urgently. Would not trust the photo again, would prefer to shop in store

These hiking shoes feel great on my feet, but the zip laces don't work with this stiffer shoe. On my first hike the laces kept coming loose, forcing me to stop, take off my gaiters and tighten them. This happened all day with me having to stop every 1/2 mile to tighten the laces.
I have been wearing Salomon for over 20 years. I love every pair of hiking shoes I have ever owned. The hikers fit well, comfortable, grip is outstanding and I have never had any pain to my feet, ever, not until now. These hiking shoes cause my feet to be extremely hot, significant pain to the bottom of my feet, pain to my Achilles and foot all over. I have had to stop wearing them. I will have to go back to my favourite shoe to feel the comfort again and to continue on my with my long hikes!

I love how they look, but after 4 hours wearing them my feet felt hot and they wear rubbing my toes. I will try to wear compression socks and I see how this improve shoes performance. Overall I want to like them. I was using Scarpa until now and I never have any problems so I hope my first impression will change.
I have has GatX shoes from Salomon for over 10 years now. And these are the best as they are a little stiffer and great on scree. It helps the feet not feel tired with the constant uneven surfaces. Additionally, it fit well and did not require any break in period. Just perfect!
I have now had several pairs of Salomon walking trainers over the years and always found them to be comfortable and hard wearing . These are as comfortable as my last pair & so I hope they will remain so for a few years and many happy miles of walking
Bought them a month ago and put them to a 12 mile hike. My feet love them. I have skinny, flat feet that felt so good after a long hike. No aches in the toes or feet. I'm still working on getting them tight or wearing thicker socks.
I've been a fan of Salomon for years. Whenever I have there has never been a break-in period. With these ones I went on at least four 8k hikes before they felt broken in. Over all a good waterproof shoe.
I like the shoes but, I wish the toe box was a little wider and the cut outs at the ankle are not low enough and rub against my ankles. This becomes uncomfortable pretty quickly.

I purchased these hikers after reading reviews. Being in my late 60’s I like the added traction when I am out hiking. These have not failed me. Comfortable and great looking.
