Out of the box ready to GO!
By AZhiker
This is my fourth pair of Solomon hiker's and I am very pleased. My last pair lasted two years with nearly daily use. I spend 5 days a week on the trail covering about 4-5 miles. I hit the trail the day they arrived, out of the box, with no break-in and they were great. I cover a mixed terrain with lots of rocks, loose gravel, and steep angles. I found the boots to be agile, supportive, and have great sticking tread. The soles have plenty of cushioning and give me the protection from sharp rocks that I need. I hike at a quick pace and jog the last mile...these boots are very comfortable and VERY light weight...even more so than my last pair. For me, Solomon's are true to size and provide plenty of toe room needed for steep descents. These boots have traditional lacing and I like the laces much better than my last pair and they stay tied tight. The foot beds give plenty of arch support and come out easily to dry. Thumbs up to the Ellipse!

Love These.
By A. Hayes
I bought a pair of these in San Francisco last year. I was visiting some friends and we decided to do an impromptu hike up Half Dome, but I hadn't brought any appropriate footwear. Everyone knows that the stupidest thing you can do is buy new shoes and wear them out on such a lengthy hike without breaking them in first, but I had no choice. I made it up and back without a single blister or sore spot. They were great on the differing terrain that Half Dome throws your way- pavement, wet steps, loose gravel, and of course the rubber-impregnated cable route. They're light enough, and surprisingly breathable. I've since worn them on New Hampshire granite, Utah snow, in the canyons of Zion, and they're about to head up the Sierras. I dread the day they finally wear out, but know what I will be getting to replace them... Happy Trails, everyone.
