Love these shoes!
This is the third pair of these shoes that I've purchased and I love them. I have them in 3 colors. The quick lace system is great and makes them so easy to put on and take off. They are REALLY waterproof, and lightweight. Love them and will probably buy more!

Wonderful shoes -
I bought this shoe a few months ago; these have been the most comfortable hiking shoes I have ever owned. I use them for hiking, they took me to the bottom of the Grand Canyon and back, I do a lot of bushwhacking for work and they have been great for that as well. These are my walk everywhere shoe, walking the dog, hiking, you name it. I do not use them as a work boot they would definitely not hold up to that. I have one serious complaint, my shoe lace broke already! These are not normal shoe laces, and a broken one is a major pain in the butt. You can get replacement online. If Salomon doesn't want to use regular shoe laces, then they need to make the ones they do use a whole lot tougher.

Watch the toes!
I love this shoe but wish, wish, wish I had walked down some stairs in them. If I had, I would have realized that I needed a half size larger. :( Also, your feet will get warm and toasty in them so make sure you actually need the Gore-Tex.

No more soggy feet!
Nice shoes... even if it did take a day or so to get them over being stiff. I did order a 10.5 first and had to send those back and get a 10. Just ordered my second pair of the same. The first didn't last too long in the barn with the crazy foal that that stepped on the top of my arch and spun around on it and snapped the lace... oh well still comfy for barn work even without the lace on one shoe. Even though there are holes in the green outer layer the shoes are still waterproof even if they are ugly now. Good traction for actual running... even in deep sand. My half chaps fit over them nicely so I'll probably use my new ones for endurance riding once my old Asics finally bite the dust.

The Salomon XA Comp 3 GTX is everything I hoped it would be, maybe more. It's light, comfortable, flexible and supportive. The padding around the ankle is very good (I have trouble with shoes rubbing there). I bought them right before a trip with lots of light hiking and loved them with no break in at all. Traction was excellent on everything I tried, rock, sand, gravel, dirt, grass, motorcycle pegs...The quick lacing system and fun color are icing on the cake.

Salomon XA Comp 3 GTX -
Very comfortable shoes! Ordered my regular size, rather than going up a half size like I normally do for athletic shoes and they fit well. I have narrow heels and they are sort of big in that area, but not overly so (a thicker pair of socks should do the trick). Love the shoelaces which are easy to adjust and just plain fun. The shoes are well made and look like they'll hold up for a long time - I'm very pleased. On an added note - they really do keep your feet dry! Thanks Zappos for the speedy delivery!!!

Green goes with Lily Pulitzer -
Love these! Can pull off a fashion statement in summer frocks while keeping feet in true luxury! Wore these to a party last weekend with a Lily dress on a rainy day! (I'm talking New England and Canada summer days: warm and water tight--not for sultry south, Lily-compatible or not!)

Salomon XA Comp 3 GTX®!
First time buyer from Zappos-- What a great experience! The product was shipped sooner than expected!
Love the Salomon XA--Very, very comfortable, love the color - but would order a 1/2 size down as suggested by other customer. Got a lot of compliments on the shoe. Can't wait to try the shoes out hiking. The price is more than I would spend on myself, but my kids convinced me it was worth it!!! Smart kids!!!
Thats Zappos!

Easy to throw on -
These shoes are comfortable and easy to throw on for anything. I mainly use for dog walking and just around the house activities. Great support and the lacing system is the best. This is my third pair.

I Love These Shoes -
These shoes are the most comfortable athletic shoes that I've ever worn. I bought them for every day wear and when I wore them out for a day of running errands my feet didn't ache at the end of the day like they usually do. I ordered the same size that I get in other types of shoes and they fit perfectly. Unlike traditional shoe laces, these do not hurt at the arch and you never have to worry about them coming untied. When I wear these shoes I feel like I'm walking on air and I love the bright green color.

Comfortable -
Comfortable shoes for walking and running and waterproof and very sturdy. They run a little big. I usually wear size 9-9.5 and the size 9 is plenty roomy. It's possible I could even go down to an 8.5. I'm not sure that the unconventional lace is an advantage. I think that regular tie laces allow a more customized fit. Still, I'm happy with these shoes and I think they'll be great for all sorts of activities in any kind of weather.

Great Shoe -
I love this shoe. It's very sturdy and supportive. It did need a little wearing in because they felt a little stiff, but after the first day or so, they fit great and feel great when I'm wearing them for long periods of time.

Lots of Toe room for runners!
This shoe hugs my foot perfectly, holding your heel and ankle in their proper place in the shoe, leaving lots of toe room up front. They make running downhill and cycling extremely comfortable. Great cushioning, too. The red color is much more Redskins-burgundy than the photo suggests - I thought I was getting a truer red. But they are slenderizing and don't look like clown shoes, which make it really attractive to wear.

Looks great, fits better!
I bought the similar XA Comp 3 last summer and loved it for warm weather hikes and trail runs. I have long, narrow feet (10.5 Narrow) and the XA Comp fit in a 10 with room in the toe to spare. The lacing system allows this shoe to adjust to accommodate a variety of foot widths. This shoe did not run as long as the XA Comp and I had to exchange the 10 for a 10.5. Still, that's long, since I usually wear an 11 in running shoes. The Gore-Tex should come in handy for damp spring runs!
Other shoes recommended by reviewer: Salomon XA Comp 3 is mesh for warmer weather.

Great shoe!!
I love this shoe! I get comments on them all the time. Everyone loves the green color. I teach classes at a gym and I lead a Nordic walking group, they offer both the comfort and support I need. They aren't good on an aerobic floor but they aren't really made for that purpose.

Great trail shoe -
This is a great trail shoe. I usually walk or run rocky limestone trails. My footing feels very secure and this shoe is very stable. My half orthotics fit well. I really like the lacing system as it is quick to adjust and secure. The tongue pocket keeps the excess neatly stowed. The shoes are definitely waterproof as I have splashed through small streams and walked through dew soaked grass and my feet have been bone dry. I'd buy this shoe again.

I wore these for a couple of weeks straight during the rainy time here. They are ultra comfortable, truly waterproof, and I love that I can wear them loose, almost like slip ons, or cinch them up and take off!

Great shoe for outdoor exercise!
I bought these at a prompting of a friend. Best investment that I made this winter. I live in Boston and speed-walking outdoors is my main form of exercise. The weather here can be cruel to us so I was in the market for a shoe that would hold up on wet, cold roads. This is the one. It is durable and extremely comfortable. It allows me to get out there in all sorts of nasty stuff and still keep a great pace.

These shoes feel really great; they have great traction and support. Plus, they are truly waterproof.
They fit one size larger, this is valuable information.

Perfect!
I am so please I purchased these shoes. They are light, super comfy and waterproof! I traipsed through snow and my feet stayed very warm and DRY! This was amazing to me, since they are a low cut shoe. I don't think I would wear them in a blizzard, but for a nice walk with some water or snow around, this is the shoe for you! And, the laces are terrific - finally a shoe that ties like a snowboard boot - easily, with one pull!!

No hesitations -
I love this shoe! I've worn it alone or in combination with YakTrax in icy/snowy conditions running outside in Wisconsin winters. My feet stay dry, warm and find them more comfortable than my other running shoes. Width is good for an average to wide foot and I love the toggle closure. I get compliments on them all of the time.

Salomon XA Comp 3 GTX US -
I've been on the Salomon ban wagon for some time now after purchasing many of their quality shoes. I recently was gifted a pair of the XA-Comp-3-GTX-US, and boy I'm I impressed! I find them to be very comfortable, sturdy, lightweight, breathable, genuinely waterproof, and attractive. I've put them to the test in the hills of my local park. They have been through 2 inch puddles, over rocky outcrops, steep muddy hills, wet rocks, and they have yet to let me down. If you buy these shoes you'll be assured satisfaction. Happy trials to you.

Wow! LOVE these shoes!! When I buy athletic shoes I typically have to try several pair of the same size to get the perfect fit. I tried one pair of these and they were 100% PERFECT! Great fit, GREAT support, couldn't ask for more!

 |  | I just wanted to thank you all at Zappos for such a rewarding shopping experience. This was my first experience buying shoes with you all, and I was BLOWN away by the level of customer service I received! I am an "immediate gratification" kind of gal, so even though I enjoy the convenience of internet shopping, I do not enjoy waiting for my purchase. So you can imagine how pleased I was when I received an email from you stating that my already FREE shipping was being upgraded to ensure faster delivery. And when my shoes were delivered by FedEx the very next day after purchase, I was even happier! Thank you again for a wonderful shopping experience! |  | ~ Diane D., August 04 2008
