Comfortable, looks great, and decently waterproof. Why did I still rate this only 3 out of 5 stars? The shoes are sturdy and durable. However, the eyelets that secure the lacing are the weak link. I bought a pair in November 2024 and they’ve already failed me. These were my favorite pair of Salomon’s I’ve owned until this happened. Thought about buying a new pair thinking I might’ve gotten a bad pair until I saw other reviews saying they’ve run into the same problem as I have.
They are super comfortable and keep my feet dry in the rain.... but the eyelets starting failing. They are only a few months old, but unusable. Judging from the other reviews, this is pretty common
I was looking for a light hiking shoe with an aggressive enough soul and support to work well on more technical trails. I also wanted a shoe that looked more like a sneaker rather than a brown leather hiking boot. Although I've only gone on a couple of short, snowy hikes, this shoe satisfies my needs. I wore these around the house first for a couple of weeks to make sure my feet liked them.....and they did. On my first hike, I had forgotten that I had new shoes on. I thought I'd need a longer break-in period....but that wasn't the case. If you're looking for a waterproof hiking shoe that will perform well on flat or rugged terrain, this is a good choice. My likes: Waterproof, no break-in, quick lace system, aggressive soul, a design that lets me walk off the trail and right into a brewery without having to change shoes. My dislikes: The lacing system loosens up a little as you walk. I wish there were some sort of lock on the tightening mechanism - not a deal breaker though. I also don't love the color scheme - for a 62 year old man I felt it was a little too bright and busy. However, when your 30 year old son sees them and mentions that he loves the shoes and color and they make me look more modern.....I guess I can live with the color. More color options would be better though.
