Salomon Exit Aero SKU #7376373(View on Zappos.com Classic)

Solomons are the most durable hiking boots I've purchased. I have another pair I've been wearing for two years and all the seams and stitches are still holding through abusive conditions. Sometimes I wear 10.5, but 10 is my size for Solomons. They are the way to go for hiking boots.

I bought these shoes from Zappos after trying them at a local sporting goods store. The store didn’t have the correct size so I ordered them from Zappos. I couldn't be happier with the shoes or the service I received. I am a nature photographer and wanted a shoe that was light and supportive to carry my equipment all day on rough trails. The shoes are very comfortable and are cut right for my narrow feet.

This is the first review that I've felt compelled to do, BUT, this shoe is worth it! Although this isn't the marketed intent for this shoe, my husband is a carpenter who is VERY hard on his footwear. This is his second pair of Solomon Exit Aero shoes. His first pair lasted a full year being worn practically every day all day. They allow his feet to breathe, are comfortable, and most of all- held together. We were very happy to find another pair and look forward to another year!

Great fit and NO break-in period. The first time I put these on, they felt great! They are great for moderate hiking and very casual to wear around the city. It keeps my feet cool in the summer and warm in the winter, no problem with sweaty feet and wet socks - great ventilation. They look good on any pants - jeans to chinos. One thing though, the "loop" in the back is unnecessary, cutting it off works.

A little too narrow - I don't think I have wide feet, but these shoes are pretty snug width-wise. I've never had to buy wide shoes, but wish this style would come in some so I could wear them comfortably.

Solomon Shoes are the Best - Great fit, comfort is enhanced by the breath -ability - especially on long treks. The only improvement I would like to see on the Exit Aero is Kevlar pull strings in place of tie-up laces.

Very Good Hiking Shoe - Very Good Hiking Shoe with Excellent looks, sizing and comfort. Did not require any breaking in period. The only complaint I have is that the sole and arch cushioning is a bit sub par. A medium weight hiking sock would be a must on extended hikes.

Disappointing - I bought these shoes because they looked good, and were reasonably priced...but, they seem to be made rather cheaply. The stitching on the inside of the shoe is exposed, which irritated my foot to no end...and the arch is really weird...stay away from this shoe.

This may be a winner. I just received these @ 2pm after ordering last night! Zappos continues to amaze me with timely service. My 5th pair of Salomons in this genre of shoe and I must say these are the best looking of any Salomon I've seen. I hesitated to write a review so soon, but my initial impression is good. I have a narrow/somewhat high arched foot and finding shoes that “sort of fit” is challenging. I hate to admit that half the shoes I buy don't see a lot of wear. As I get older, comfort and proper fit become a bigger deal. The Exit Aero is probably the snuggest fitting Salomon I've tried. It has a narrow heel and somewhat roomy toe box, but my foot doesn't move much laterally within the shoe which is a good thing. My size 13 seems a bit short compared to most. If it were any shorter, I'd say it was shorter than marked and I know I can't wear a 14. One minor gripe is my feet don't seem to be centered in the shoe (feet seem to want to roll inward). This is very minor and could be the shape of my foot; I've noticed the same thing with the Elios model, but not with any other brand of shoe. The thin removable insole could be better, but I can replace that. If you have a really wide foot, this may not be the shoe for you. The Exit series appears to be a well made shoe for the money. Anyway just thought I'd kick off the reviews for this one. Good luck!
