Love these shoes--fave Salomon hiking shoes ever. I've been a Salomon fan for years in Colorado. Started with several pairs of Speedcross but the soles wear out in less than 6 months on CO rough trails. Then went to X Ultra Pioneers and they lasted 2-3 years, but they are a bit stiff and blocky for nimble hiking, Also tried the XA Pro 3D and they felt loose and sloppy. Never fit my heel and never had much support--and way too big for my normal size. Tried these X ultra 5's and love them. Plenty of support but still nimble and GREAT tread!! And they fit my heel. I sized down to a 7 from my normal 7.5 and they fit great. Super happy with these!
I purchased these in store after trying them on and receiving raving reviews from other shoppers, but they broke upon first use. Still useable, but very disappointing to have new shoes break upon first wear. I would've returned them, but I live abroad and did not have adequate time to drive another 2.5 hours to the nearest REI before my flight. Luckily, my handy uncle was able to fix the part that broke. I caution buyers to beware of the quickLACE system that should ultimately save time and make your life easier.
Best shoe and great support. So comfortable.
So comfortable, expensive but worth investing in. poor foot wear has led to other health issues in the past, back, hip, plantar fasciitis. They’re great for the hiking but also my favourite go to gardening shoes. I’m going to get another pair so I’ll always have a replacement now that I’ve found my perfect shoe.
These are very comfortable and offer lots of support. I have been hiking in the alps with them and they are great.
