Thee Standard for Trail Running/Hiking Shoes
By Jeep4x4Enthusiast
I am a long time buyer/user of the Salomon line of shoes. The X Ultra GTX is waterproof, light weight, supportive, and has a great fit. The room and protection in the toebox are what first drew me too there trail running shoes.
I live in the Pacific Northwest, and I like being able to go on a hike, and then proceed with my day around town. All without concerns about the weather, or the weight of my footwear. These suit that purpose for me perfectly.
The speed lacing system, is durable (kevlar lacing), and provides a fast, comfortable, custom fit. Which allows for making performance adjustments when going from walking, to climbing, to bouldering during a hike. I have owned different versions of these shoes and never worry about chaffing, blisters or sore feet. The have excellent grip on the trail and they always keep my feet dry.
Although I mention good grip on trail, watch out for manhole covers or metal grates in city streets during rain or
snow. They seem extra slippery in those situations.
Well, they get my recommendation.

This shoe is just perfect
By Stuart
I am very hard on my hiking shoes, I frequent some really rocky trails, and I run and just pound on them. I originally would just rip through tennis shoes in a month, so I got some cheap hiking shoes, 2 months. I purchased the sweet Salomon speedcross 3, and found that those shoes must be made for a different hiker because within a week I had already torn the sole. Extremely frustrated I went ahead and took another shot on Salomon, and this is what I went for. I have been thoroughly impressed with how well built these shoes feel. Without a doubt the best hiking shoes I have ever worn, they are comfortable, light, extremely durable, and just wonderful. They did feel a bit large for my feet, I wear a size 11, I would go down a half a size next time but after I cinch them up a bit they stay on and feel fine. Honestly, I'm going to keep buying these if they stay available, I've had them for 5 months now, and they are worn down (as would be expected by any shoe) but nothing
has torn or broken (which is RARE for my shoe gauntlet). I am an avid hiker and have really put a lot of different shoes on my feet through the years. These are hands down the best, so far.

Sizing issue
By D. Williams
I have been buying Salomon trail running shoes and hiking boots for over 10 years. I just ordered these and recieved them. I am currently wearing a size 9 in their Trail Running shoe and hiking boots. I ordered a size 9 for these. Too big! Even fully tightened my heel slips out. I dont know if its a manufacturing issue or just an isloted incident but they seem like a size 11 when Im wearing them/ Returning them.
