Customer Reviews Salomon XR Mission W

This is my second pair, I love these sneakers. I have tried every brand and these were the first ones that I did not have to break in, I use them on the trails and in the gym and the soles wore out before the body of the shoe did which was unusual for me, I will never buy anything else.

Love at first stroll. I've been a Salomon shoe and boot fan for 7 years -- as the comfort of my very long toes, size 10 foot and high arch is essential. The flexible XR Mission allows plenty of toe room, and that means heavier/warmer winter socks can be worn without a foot-binding sensation. This shoe fits perfectly with lighter cotton socks, as well. The distinctive Salomon flared heel-sole structure that adds stability is a win-win. Not sold yet on the new string ties, though. I'll be back for more in other colors. A+

Very comfortable and light weight. I've worn other high end tennis shoes and these are my favorite so far for exercising. I do extensive cardio and was having a lot pain in my heels and so far I haven't had it with these. I love the bright colors and have compliments each time I wear them.

I have finally found the perfect shoe for my foot! The heel is snug and doesn't slip, the forefoot is wide enough but not sloppy, and my orthotics fit perfectly. My only complaint is that while I love the bright colors, sometimes I want something black to go with jeans or whatever and not draw attention. Truly, I have never found shoes that fit me so well.

Great shoe, runs large. I am a regular 9.5 W, and need a 9. Medium width works!

What to say! :) I bought them based on looks and previous reviews, and LOVE them. The best shoe! I use it for walking, classes, personal training, it can be a great running shoe too. I typically wear a lot of Nikes, occasional Brooks, but this is my new go to. Thank you!

I got these shoes recently, and started wearing them right away. They were comfortable from the start and didn't need a breaking in period. After reading several reviews regarding the size, I ordered a half size smaller than I usually wear, and they fit perfectly! The lacing system isn't as quick as tying your shoes the standard way, but I don't mind it. I love the bright, fun colors and have had several compliments on them already.

Wow, just received these from Zappos. Put them on, and may never take them off! They are so so comfortable; toe box wide enough so I can wiggle my toes, good arch support. (I have high arches) and the tie, though different, are easy to use. And, call me shallow, but the very best part is that they're gorgeous! I bought them for my daily trail walks, but won't want to get them dirty!

I love these shoes. I am 72 years young, a former runner (with a new knee). I need help with balance and stability when I jog. These are perfect in every way. I tried the Salomon high tops and love them for working but when I jog in the woods and gravel I found the high tops picked up rocks. These do not. And what a great way to try on shoes. I never feel like I can spend the 30 minutes or so wandering around in the shoes like I can in my own home. Thanks a ton.

If I was not such a fashion diva these would be the only shoes that I wear or own! As it is now I have them in three colors from their inception and they are such excellent quality worth every penny. I get compliments from men and women alike. When men compliment I tell them they are available for men, also.

Great shoe. Roomy in front. Runs big if you go by the US size. I have exchanged for a 1/2 size smaller. Also the color in this one is more blue than purple.

I love these shoes. The seem to propel my feet forward. My feet never feel stressed no matter how much I wear them. The lacing system seems secure. No complaints from me.

I have a bunion. It hurts, so running can be difficult. But these shoes make it so easy! I really love them - super lightweight and they are good on my bunion.

These shoes are the best trail shoe/running shoe I've ever owned. I hiked Half Dome in these shoes and my feet never hurt. I do everything in these shoes. The laced never loosen, great room in the toe box and the stability of the shoe gives my bad ankle extra support!

Words cannot express how much I love these shoes. I have 3 pairs. My favorite part is the non-tying laces. My job requires me to go in and out of people's houses and these are perfect to just slip on and off. They're super comfortable and I get a lot of compliments on their style and bright colors. Someone once told me they were "bad&$$" shoes.

These sneakers are so stable. I have neuropathy in my feet from chemo. I feel like this is the sneaker for me.

I walk 7 days a week for 7 miles. This is my third pair of these Salomons. I hope they don't stop making them. Ever!

Right out of the box and these feel marvelous! A lot more room in the toe area, which feels liberating. Definite support, comfortable and with a lot more support than my previous New Balance pair. Can't wait to go running!

I was looking for a new trail shoe brand, read lots of reviews, and settled on this shoe. I ordered my normal trail shoe size and because the toe bed is a bit wider than what I'm used to, the shoe seemed too big. I wore them around a bit and realized that my toes were falling in just the right place. A smaller size would have my toes too close to the front of the shoe. I've taken them out on a technical 5-miler and they felt great! Looking forward to really getting them dirty!

I love these sneakers. I use them for running on the road / treadmill and cross training at the gym. I tend to put more weight in my heels so they're great for that. I also have a medium to high arch and they fit well to the shape of my foot. Love the "laces" - my old ones would always loosen and not having to bother with them is great.

Wonderful shoes that are great for hiking. I had read reviews about them running large and so ordered a size smaller than normal. Fit like a charm. Love the bright colors too.

I have very narrow feet and have trouble with shoes letting my heel slip. There shoes fit tight enough around the top of my foot to prevent heel slippage. Even though they are medium width with a wide toe box, they are still very comfortable worn with thick socks.

Very comfortable. The shoe laces can be awkward at time. String is to long so have to wrap it around the other laces. Dirt messes with the tracks of the laces & makes it difficult to untie the shoe.

This is the third time I've bought these shoes. And always in this color. I love them, obviously. Besides being the most comfortable shoes I've worn they are really cute. I get compliments on them all the time. My feet are wider in front and they accommodate that without being too wide at the heel. I use them for walking 5-6 days a week, 45 min. at a time. Also for just everyday errands etc. I definitely recommend them.

Took 'em for a 4 mile walk upon arrival- was impressed with overall fit and besides, their wild and crazy colors make it fun! The lacing system is fast and the heel foam area near the Achilles isn't too high, which irritates on other styles of shoes. Highly recommended!
