These are the most comfortable Salomons I have ever owned. I have been a big fan of Salomons for the last 8 years and the shoes keep getting better.

I have owned 4 pairs of the GTX and they could take what I threw at them. Decided to switch to the non gore-tex shoe because of the florida heat. Love them. Great shoe for me. I wear them to do just about everything. I would recommend them to anyone.

I bought these to wear this winter around the slopes of Vermont, boy was that the right move. They kept me warm, dry, and after taking off my ski boots, comfortable. I recommend these to all.

Best trail shoe made. I\'ve tried Vasque, Asics and they\'re junk. This shoe works well for short periods of pavement and trail. Great stability and lateral support. Lacing system is not for everyone.

Like my last pair of good work boots, the Salomons should have been the first pair of running shoes I purchased. This is the second pair for me and following the purchase of my first pair, I purchased a pair for my daughter who was walking in the three day and has been wearing them ever since. Great shoes with an outstanding fit and good life. Great value, too. Thanks Salomon and Zappos!

Great shoes. Good for walking and running on all terrain. Even good for running on pavement. Very comfortable. Convenient laces.

Not bad - Great sticky rubber soles for running on wet asphalt. Not great in muddy conditions. Great winter training shoe for the road.

Great shoe, a bit narrow - So far feels and looks great. A bit narrow at the front. No laces, excellent pull-up system. If you tie them tight, the front anchor point feels strange on your toe, but other than that, great shoe.

Awesome!!! Just went over to do the Tour Du Mont Blanc hike and I can't say enough good things about this shoe. Comfortable, great traction and cool looking. By the way you don't have to trek for 10 days to find out how good these sneakers are!

I bought these shoes for my daughter for Christmas and she loves them. It was nice to not have to wait a week to get them. I received them in about three days!

I love these shoes! I just wish they came in a wide width. Oh well. I decided to keep mine and just wore them all day to break them in. I got mine in the pink and black color. They rock! The sole and heel are nice and sturdy. Not much arch support, but that’s not really my concern. I’m not running marathons or exercising in these puppies! I love Zappos, the customer service people here, free shipping both ways, and DC shoes!
