Wrong color. I ordered twice. The original pic was from a green shoe. Twice I was sent the grey one!
I don't receive the shoes I ordered. The first color came and I returned it. The second one has a different color shoe. How can you make the same mistake twice...
Got tears inside after less than 4 months of light usage couple of times a week.
The Salomon X ultra 360 edge has recently become one of my favourite shoes. I went on a few hikes with them and the grip and comfort have definitely impressed me. The grip provides a lot of traction allowing me to feel comfortable and safe on rocky terrain. The comfort enables me to wear the shoe all day and enjoy my hiking experience. Along with hiking I use this shoe as an everyday walking shoe as there is a lot of support and they are very comfortable. Overall this is a highly versatile shoe and I definitely recommend it.
Hi there, I’ve been using this shoe for a little over a month for hiking and walking uses. I love how grippy the shoe is and how good it looks. The speedlace is also an added bonus! While I’ve owned many pairs of Salomon Shoes with speedlace, I’ve never had a speed lace fail. I’ve had 2 pairs of these shoes and both have broke within a month on the speed lace grommet. Salomon has warrantied my previous shoe but it is still annoying. Beware that your speedlace grommet might rip out in the first month!
This was my 2nd pair, as the 1st one broke exactly the same way. I barely used my 2nd pair, worried they could break. I was stuck on a two week trip with only these shoes (city walk), which broke right away into day 4, then 5 days later the other one broke. Let's be real, if indestructible paracord is used to lace shoes with noodly eyelets, what should you expect? They look good, they are comfortable, but they are faulty by design.
I am a long time Salomon Shoe owner. I've hiked over 600 miles in the X Ultra 3's, hiked hundreds of miles in the X Ultra 3 Goretex Mid's, and run countless trail miles in several iterations of the Speedcross Goretex. When it was time to replace my X Ultra 3's for hiking sections of the AT, I tried the new X Ultra 4 but did not like the fit. This year I saw the X Ultra 360 Edge and I ordered them. I loved them...the fit was great, like my X Ultra 3's, but maybe a roomier toebox. I took them on my recent 130 mile AT Section hike. At mile 110, one of the laces cut through one of the eyelets, leaving me with a shoe that could not be tightened. When I got home I compared the eyelets on these shoes to my other Salmon shoes, and all of my other shoes, the eyelets are reinforced with plastic tubing...on the X Ultra 360 Edge, they are simply fabric. If you're not the type to put big miles on your hiking shoes, these may work for you, but for my needs it looks like I need to start looking for different alternatives.
I bought these shoes for a 9 month backpacking trip around Latin America as I needed a solid pair of shoes that would last me. These were absolutely not it! After just 3 months the inside heal of the shoes completely came away to reveal a sharp bit of plastic making these shoes completely unwearable. I'm going to have to throw them away and pay for a new pair which is annoying considering the high price tag of these shoes. It looks like others have had similar quality issues so avoid these if you plan on wearing them more than a few months... What's more annoying is because I'm now travelling I'm unable to sort a replacement pair from salomons warranty.. Not that I particularly trust in their quality now.
Arch support: Check Customizable Fit: Check Tough grippy outsole: Mostly check. not so great on wet rock, but very little that isn't sticky rubber is. Lace loops that last longer than one hike: Erm... Lots of potential to be a great shoe. I really like the xt-6s for walking my dog in the woods so I decided to give these a shot. Broke em in for 50 miles or so before wearing them on a hike of the pemi loop in New Hampshire. Day 1 had us walking through some streams on trail and on day 2, a couple miles into the morning, both shoes suffered the same failure, and the laces ripped through the lace loops. Ended up getting blisters in both feet on the same spot on on the ball of my feet for the remaining 10 miles which wasn't ideal. When I came home, what surprised me even more is that the xt-6 have little plastic protectors to stop just this from happening, so it felt odd that a hiking shoe wouldn't have them. Seems like an easy fix to make these a great hiking shoe for those that like the salomon fit and want something light and tough.
These shoes appear to be very well made, and have a lot of exterior protection, for both on road, and trial protection. The shoe has a rigid rubber bottom that grips surfaces in all terrain, but soft enough for your foot to feel as though it is cushioned. I appreciate the ankle support and rigidness of a trail running shoe, which is the shoe I wear on a typical day. After having broken legs and a broken ankle, these shoes provide adequate stability and support, both on the trail and off the trail. Great shoe for rucking, and backpacking the great outdoors.
