My new favorite shoe!! At long last...the shoe I've dreamed of. Fits my slightly narrow foot, and provides excellent arch support. Very lightweight, yet sturdy. I started out with a pair of the Salomon XT Wings, which have a wider base and feel even more stable for trail hiking (I don't run, but both models are designed for running), and fell in LOVE with Salomon shoes. Bye bye Merrells (sorry...) The Whisper is even lighter than the Wings, so it was a complimentary pair to own. This has become my everyday shoe. Better than wearing a traditional running shoe around town for carpool and errands. Light, fast, easy to put on with the drawstring. This will become my de facto travel shoe. This thing is going to be a breeze to wear through airports and to go through security. I LOVE this shoe. I wish that there were a few more "subtle" color combos as I would have bought more. Even my 9 year old (who wears a size 6) wanted a pair and they are the ONLY shoe that she wants to wear to school now. Can we be more enthusiastic??

I've been running trails for several years now and decided to give the Salomon XT Whisper a try. The lacing system is fabulous; especially the ease of tucking the tied ends in the shoe pocket (prevents any 'hangups' on the trail). The shoe's lightness makes me run light. I ordered up one size, however returned them for my regular size. There is plenty of room in the toe box. I have very high arches and I have noticed a bit of arch fatigue after 10 mile runs or longer. Overall they are a light, pliable, strong, shoe.

As always I love the Salomon brand sneakers. These are my 5th pair that I have bought from Zappos. They are comfortable and support my feet well. Though I must admit that since I started wearing my new pair I have gotten at least three compliments on them a day, it must be the cool color!

Outside heel base breakdown - After receiving these shoes I found they were very comfortable and enjoyed working out in our health club with them on. After wearing them for approximately 6 months I noticed the outside of the heel on the left side began to breakdown. The rubber composite began to disintegrate and gave the shoe a look that wasn't very attractive. I wonder if other wearers had the same problem.

Great wide shoes! I have ordered several pairs of these shoes for my husband who has extra wide feet. He loves them and it saves us a trip all around town to find size 12 triple wide. Very true to size and sturdy. Not to mention, just a good looking tennis shoe. I also get his casual dress shoes at Zappos, Propet also. Great shoes!

A City Letter Carrier - Eleven years on my feet... These are the Best yet!

I must admit that I had never heard of Propet shoes prior to purchasing my first pair here. They looked good in the picture and that is all that mattered at the time. Therefore, when they arrived, I was satisfied the moment I opened the box. What took me by surprise was how incredibly light they were as I removed each from the box, even with each shoe being stuffed full with wadded paper to help the shoe retain its shape in transit. I removed all the paper and again marveled at the lightness of this shoe, even with my size 11 1/2 gunboats. The construction was solid they felt great when I put them on for the first time. I am a retired letter carrier and wish I had discovered these shoes when I was still working. They have all the support and comfort you need and all the style you want, all in one shoe. I have previously purchased Nike, Reebok, and Rockport walking shoes. This pair finishes far ahead of all of those with Rockport coming in 2nd. If you're a Rockport person and used to Rockport comfort, you'll truly love these shoes. If you like the style Nike and Reebok offer but desire more in comfort, try these. I feel as if the sizing is accurate but snug. If you're a "between sizes" person, order a 1/2 size up. I used my shoe stretchers overnight to widen the toe area slightly and "VIOLA", the shoes were now broken in and sheer joy to wear. Even without my shoe stretchers, I doubt that there would have been any long or uncomfortable break-in time.

Large Size - I was overjoyed to see a walking shoe in my size (15 narrow)! The reviews said that it was a light shoe that felt good on the feet. Well in my size it was a heavy, clunky-looking shoe that was not the most comfortable shoe of its kind that I own.
