This is my 9 th Salomon hiking boots pare. I bought last month and used on five hikes approximately 80 km in snow and cold hikes around -10c weather. My feet’s feels more cold than average person that’s why I bought these boots. It’s heavy and big also very little harder from inside then other Salomon boots.I used extra insoles and feel perfect. I give 5 stars these boots because I never get freeze my feet’s in my last five hikes, grip is also better than other Salomon boots , fits perfectly on first hike . Overall I’m very satisfied with these boots pare.
I have only had these for a few days but right away I noticed that they are a good fit to size and very comfortable. I have only walked on my hilly property with them but grip on slope is good and ankle support excellent. I was searching for something a bit lighter than my Zamberlins I wear from day to day. They are quite a bit lighter but not particularly cooler in hot weather. They are made for cool weather so that's to be expected but is not really a problem. I have had some Salomons in the past that seemed to break down in support rather quickly but these seem to be a bit more stout in that regard and the improved one-pull lace system works great, quick on and off. No lacing up which is very convenient.
Purchased these for Winter backpacking (with and without snowshoes), and they have not disappointed. Fit is perfect, and the nimble athletic boot design lends itself far better to snowshoeing than large, bulky pack boots (I.e., Sorel and similar). I normally wear size 9.5 and ordered these in 9.5. They have just enough space to handle expedition socks without having to size up and/or deal with a sloppy boot fit, and they are incredibly warm, especially while hiking. The sole design adapts perfectly to both microspike and snowshoe applications. Extremely happy with these boots and the purchase through REI.
I've worn these boots all winter for my job (survey field tech in Western Massachusetts) and they have held up extremely well despite the snow, barbed wire, trees and mud. The quick lace system is nice and held up but laces would have done just fine. My one gripe was all Solomon boots is the inner sole is not the most comfortable for me, so I usually swap that out right away. Aside from that, I'm really enjoying the warmth and insulation of these boots along with the "snow resistance" that they have. Even when sludging around in wet crappy snow they do not get wet. It just wicks right off
Purchased for my husband for Christmas. Salomon is his go-to hiking shoe/boot, so this winter boot was a must. From the moment he put them on, he felt that same comfort as his other hikers. He loves the lacing system for easy on and off. After walking in them several miles through the woods a couple days each week, he absolutely loves them. They are extremely warm for feet that get cold which is the best feature. There is enough room to wear full cushion hiking socks. Overall excellent boot for winter activity. Thank you Salomon for making this winter boot.
These shoes are amazing for the snow and ice. I use them in Mammoth Lakes in the winter to get around everywhere. The laces concept works great and makes the shoe easy to put on and take off. The only part that was disappointing was the footbed. I was expecting a fit more like the Solomon trail running shoes that have a very supportive narrower fit with a nice arch. This one has more of a flat and wide profile inside the shoe and is sized a bit larger. Thankfully, I was able to add a Superfeet insert (winter low profile model) and the combination works perfectly.
These boots are very comfortable for long distance walking on hard packed snow and light powder. They are very warm. Used them in -17 for a 3 hour hike and they were perfect. The only downfall is the laces. I really like Salomons lacing system on their shoes, I have 2 pairs of Salomon hiking shoes and they are awesome. The problem with the laces on these boots are the length. They have 12 inches of lace sticking out after being tightened that has to be rolled up and tucked into the lace holder. Not handy if you want to put them on to head outside for a quick trip. The lacing system is nice and tight when walking however without any slipping inside the boot. I like them but probably wouldn’t buy another pair solely due to the mildly annoying laces.
I bought this boot to replace my Solomon X Ultra 04 - these are more of a true boot. They come up a bit higher and a warmer. I’ve had them out in - 20 while walking and my feet were still warm. The thicker deeper tread is good on hard pack snow. I like the boot, it keeps your feet warm and dry. I would have given it 5 starts if it wasn’t for the “quick tie lacing system” - I’m still getting used to it, but I think I would have preferred standard laces.
Recieved in 7 days. Assessed size a perfect fit. Condition no flaws detected. Endurance, flexibility, comfort all great. Lightweight easy on and off. Expected rub on toes, heel and ankle - but this has not occurred. Impressed that after wearing them for 15 days in a row for walks that that initial break in adjustment that i thought i would need has not materialised. Really good product. This will meet my needs visiting Norway in winter Jan 2025.
I was replacing old Salomon boots and was looking for something for winter hiking and everyday use in the snow. Given the weight of these, I was doubtful they would be warm enough for me. I have nothing but positive comments on the product as these are easy and quick to put on, really comfortable and just perfect warmth for outdoor activities. I haven’t had them long so can’t comment on durability but they seem to be built tough.
