This is my first Salomon shoe- I \'live\' outside and these shows are ready for anything I can throw at them. I use them with orthopedic inserts and even when I didn\'t have my inserts they were super comfortable. The shoe is not loose or tight ANYWHERE. The tightening system is quick and easy, and their grip is good too. I contemplated getting the GTX with Gore-Tex and saved myself some money, but I might try them for my next pair. I recommended these to my friends- I recommend them to you too.

These shoes look even better in person. Best looking and most comfortable shoes hands down. After my first pair, bought 2 more pair (I collect shoes and to make sure I had replacement pair just in case this style was discontinued). Swamp/moss is best color combo. Zappos is obviously the best in service.

Great shoe with arch support. I have a bad knee and this is the only walking / running shoe that gives me the support I needed.

The shoes were everything they were advertised to be. The lace system works fantastic and the fit is perfect. The service through Zappos continues to be outstanding.

I bought these for my husband. He says this shoe is very light and feels true to size. The styling is eye catching, and the quick lace system is unique. You won't have to worry about the laces coming untied. Overall, he says the Salomon XA Pro 3D ultra is a fantastic shoe. Would I buy them again? I certainly would! He absolutely loves them.

Second pair of Salomons. Great for winter mud and snow but get too hot in summer. Sizing is slightly narrower than my first pair. Highly recommended.

I've had these shoes about a month and I'm really liking them. They are very unusual. Firm support in the heel and arch like a hiking boot, roomy and light in the front. I actually feel a breeze in my toes. But I get a firm grip on the trail on day hikes.

These are great shoes for my cross-country walks. I especially like the unique shoe string design which allows me to quickly tighten them.I had a similar pair prior to this pair and they lasted about 1 year, but I wore them morning and afternoon for my daily walks through the rough terrain where I live. Even though the unique shoe string design makes them easy to use on the shoes, the only drawback I see with the shoes are the shoe strings. Once they break, it is impossible to replace them in the functioning form they were originally intended. I had to find thin shoe strings and thread them through the loops and tie them. I couldn't see throwing the shoes away because of the problem with the shoe strings. These shoes will definitely outlast the shoe strings so be prepared to find thin, tough shoe strings to replace them when the original strings break.

These shoes are so light and durable that I had to purchase them again. The last pair lasted me a year and I use them on a daily basis. They're great for running, hiking, just about anything that you are wanting to do related to exercise. The support is also incredible. Especially flat-footed folks like myself.

Still Great -
This is my third pair of XA Pro 3D's. The new Ultra took a little longer to break in, but the design is almost identical to the previous models, with more reinforcement of the lacing system, a modified lace pocket, and a little less heel cup. Very supportive shoe with great traction. I use these daily, and use them for backpacking and hiking. They breathe well and dry quickly, and the unique lacing system has held up very well, and is easy to use and adjust.

Great shoes -
This is my 5th pair of Salomon’s and I'll never wear anything else! I didn't recognize any difference between the XO Pro 3d I had previously and the 3d ultra I just purchased. Zappos upgraded my shipment to next day for free and the shoes arrived before I left on a 3 week trip to the black hills of South Dakota--cool bonus that I hadn't planned on. Thanks Zappos!

I love these shoes -
These shoes are great. The new roll over technology is great. I haven't twisted my ankle once. I only thing I miss from my old pair is the Gortex lining. I miss it now that I don't have it. I also wish it was a little tighter across the ball of my foot. I just wear thicker socks.

Salomon makes a great shoe. Instant break in period, and superb stability. I wish they would last longer for the price.

As far as the comfort, sizing, etc, this shoe is great. The only issue I have is cosmetic. The material on the inner side of the shoe, up by the ankle, frayed in the first week I had the shoes. I expected a bit more for the price. But I will say again, the fit and comfort of this shoe is great.

This is my second pair. They are good shoes, that run a little small in length, but big in width. I wear a 13 2E from New Balance and other companies that offer wide models. I wear a 14 in the Salomon. The sole has a lot of grip, but doesn't come with a ton of tread, so that will typically wear down within a year if these are your daily shoes as they are for me. What eventually broke on my old pair was the lacing system; the top loop pulled out when I tried to force them on without loosening the laces. I was skeptical about the system of laces on these shoes, but it works very well. Excellent build quality over all.

Awesome shoes. The only thing that freaked me out were the laces.You have to use an electron microscope to view your product videos.Those are the only improvements, I suggest. Beautiful shoe.

Good shoes overall. Comfortable, lightweight, great tread. Would benefit from a little more cushioning in the heel.

This was my first trial of Zappos. The shoes I bought were a brand unknown to me but I bought them based on their reviews plus the ability to return them if they weren\'t right for me. The reviews were on target and the fit of the Salomon shoes were the best I have ever had. The only drawback was the shoelaces. I like the closed loop design and the ease of lacing them up but they were too short, which forces me to use a shoehorn to get them on. But the rest of the features were so good that I decided it was a small penalty for what was otherwise a perfect shoe for me.

I bought the wides for my wide flat feet. The shoes seem to run a size smaller than typical but with zappos shipping buy as many sizes as yu want ans send back what you dont want. The se shoes have grear arch support. I love the lacing system (if it dosnt break). Seens to be a good shoe. Just sixe up.

New shoes -
I buy these shoes because of the wear, comfort, and look. I see that these shoes have that high shine black plastic in them. They remind me of corofam shoes. If they start looking like basketball court shoes with all the shine, I won't be buying anymore. They are supposed to be trail shoes, not court shoes.

I think the right shoe may be a defect. Does not fit as well as the left. Seems too big and there is something sticking into my foot. Thought it would go away after a while but hasn't. I'll never buy this brand again especially since they cost so much.

Do not buy these shoes if you have a high instep. My husband could not get his foot in the shoe. Very nice looking, but unfortunately he had to return it.

Trouble with lace holders -
The shoe is sturdy and provides great protection on tough trail runs - however, I had problems with blistering and with the rest of the shoe in near perfect shape, the heavy duty laces sawed right through their holders, destroying the shoes for trail running. Zappos was great though!
