I wore these on a multi-day hike (15 miles/day) without breaking them in, and had 0 blisters and dry feet. But my ankles were sore, as another reader noted. I usually wear size 7.5 US women’s, but took the advice of the REI shoe person, and got an 8.
These were not good in my opinion. They were tough to lace up. Not a lot of give. They also gave my foot an very large blister on the inside of my foot and bruised up one of my toes. I have not had any issues with salomon boots in the past with a different style. They were ready to go right out of the box. These also felt very heavy. I am an avid hiker and i would not recommend these.
These boots provide great support after break-in. Regarding sizing, Salomon’s 7M usually fits my 7W foot right out of the box, but this model is more narrow and has required extra break-in at the forefoot.
These were comfortable straight out of the box! They didn’t pinch or chafe, and I didn’t get any blisters or hot spots. They are a stiffer boot, which is what I wanted because my ankles roll easily. I plan to wear these on multi-day backpacking trips, but also on day hikes if I’m likely to encounter rocky or uneven terrain. On tamer hikes I wear my Merrill Moab 3’s which are more flexible but don’t give me as much ankle support.
I absolutely love these hikers!! I had been hiking in a Salomon boot that I bought 10+ years ago and they were showing wear in the tread. The new boot is perfect- great fit, firm hold, easy to lace and they look great. I'm training for a big backpacking trip in June so I'm very glad I invested in these boots. They needed about 20 miles before they felt 'broken in' and now they are perfect!
Would recommend the shoes! Wouldn’t recommend breaking them in on an 18-mile hike; but that may have been user error. The foot portion was surprisingly comfortable for this breaking in, but the ankles need some time to break in as they’re a little stiff. Cute colors and have gotten lots of compliments already!
Lots of seams on the top of the foot. They press on the top of your foot. Also, when you walk, where the front of the boot creases, it also pressed on my foot. Lots of red pressure points when I took my sock off. I did try to break them in gradually, but gave up after a couple of days. Returned.
They look good and they feel even better! Very cute color scheme too!
True to size, absolutely comfortable and waterproof
