I was a big fan of X Ultra 3, and was hoping these would be a similar fit. Sadly they are not. X Ultra 3 was comfortable straight from the box, and gave me the arch support I needed for overpronation. These seem to do the opposite, they push my feet into an overpronation position, and caused ankle and knee pain. I tried changing the insole for an orthotic insole (one that I use in other shoes, so I know it's good) but that still didn't work. When I look at the shoes from the back, they do look like they lean inwards (see photo) which is exactly what I don't want!! Unfortunately I had walked in them so I couldn't return.
Disappointed - I walked around in these in Paris in light - medium rain for 2 hours and my feet got wet, my socks were proper wet. Additionally, the fit of the shoe is not comfortable, very narrow and would recommend a size up to your usual size.
I bought these to hike Acadia NP , mostly vertical hiking and absolutely loved them. It rained a bit on our trip and they still gripped well while climbing. Did over 35 miles of hiking in 2 days and my feet stayed comfortable and dry. 5/5 stars!!
Prior to purchasing this shoe, I've only hiked in regular sneakers, so I did some research on what to look for in the hiking shoes and wanted to find a good deal for my first pair. I think these are really comfortable and I love that they don't have laces. They have great grip and my micro spikes fit over them without issue. I've enjoyed hiking this winter and look forward to more adventures this year.
Left foot? Had to put moleskin to protect my foot from the inside of the plastic bits shown on the outside. The right foot? Caused shin splints for three days, followed by an excruciatingly sore knee. These provide zero support and are badly made. For the over pricing, these are not worth the money in any way whatsoever. VERY unimpressed.
I am an avid hiker and have always purchased salmon for their quality and comfort and this is probably the worst shoe I’ve ever purchased in all my years. They get so hot on my feet so quickly and I cannot leave them on for more than a 2-3 hours with just regular socks. After only a month of wearing these the rubber notches on the bottoms of the shoe just started tearing off and now whenever there are rocks or sticks on the path the bottom of the shoe catches on those things so I trip all the time. There is little to no ankle support and my shoe laces never ever stayed tied no matter how much I tie them. As a person who has always bought Salomon hiking boots I am extremely disappointed. I literally can’t even wear these. I have probably worn these less than 30 times since I bought them a year ago and am just using my old busted up Salomon’s with holes in them and no tread on the bottom rather than these to hike. What a waste of money. Please do not buy.
I bought these shoes because I was advised that they were wide and had a deep toe box. Whilst I did try them on in the shop, they seemed ok, no way was I prepared further the pain I endured whilst going out walking. Feet cut to ribbons. I wore them once and gave them away. Definitely DO NOT recommend.
I have now bought about 6 pairs...I absolutely love this shoe...I wear them everyday to walk my pups and I hike in the Adirondack mountains with them...I use to only hike in boots but these have changed that entirely....they fit me sooo well....please never discontinue this shoe!!
I bought these Salomon shoes as my last pair were worn out. I normally have to ease myself gently into new walking shoes but not these! 100% comfortable from day one absolutely love them.
Bought for the daughter in-law not worn yet so can only comment on the service which was excellent as she bought wrong size - easy to return refund sent and the new ones fit lovely
