I'm really picky when it comes toshoes. These are the best running shoes I have ever owned. I absolutely love them!

The most perfect athletic shoe I've ever had. I have plantar fasciitis and these shoes feel wonderful on my feet. I tried many brands before the Salomons and nothing compares. I have such an attachment to them, I ordered a 2nd pair for back up in case Salomon stopped making this style. The color selection is fabulous and I always get compliments on them. The celedon/papaya/pop green color is my favorite but I did order a 2nd pair in score blue/very purple which is also very cool

I've bought many other Salomons but sadly, this shoe just didn't fit my foot. It seems that the shoe just isn't as "deep" as other models, so there was no room for my foot. I hated to return it, because I love the colors!

I have extremely wide feet and high arches and use a hard orthotic insert. I am an 8 1/2 if the shoe comes in wide or a 9 otherwise. Amazingly I am able to wear these shoes in size 9. I did need a short period of time for them to break in a little bit (I can fit my orthotics in some Keens and Merrells sometimes too). Also really good for bunions as they have a stretchy piece right at the spot!

I've had these shoes for a little over a month, I've used them every day and I really love them. I've never owned a Salomon before but the comfort is exceptional. I use them for HIIT workouts done indoors (I live in Central NY so due to weather there's no using these outside - yet) I need a wide toe box due to bunions and these are perfect. They stretch to fit and I have had no issues with rubbing or irritation. These sneakers are stylish, comfortable and extremely supportive. I highly recommend!

I have finally found shoes that have deep enough heels boxes to accommodate a heel lift and a orthopedic insole. I also have narrow heels and wide toes and these shoes work perfectly! I also ordered half a size down as previous reviews indicated that the shoes ran big. The fit is perfect. I have returned so many pairs of shoes to Zappos (looking for the right fit) and Zappos has the best return policy ever. Thank you, Zappos. You have a loyal customer in me.

These are the best overall sneakers I have ever purchased. I am an avid tennis player 3-4 times/week, and I prefer to wear these instead of my tennis sneakers. They felt great the first time I wore them and they still feel great. I get compliments daily on how great they look. I bought my husband 2 pairs for Valentines Day. I did go down 1 full size. I wear a 7 in Nike, and I have a very narrow foot but these are so perfect in a size 6. The foot bed is a bit wide but that doesn't seem to hinder my play or while I run. I'm buying another pair immediately.

Terrific shoes! This is my third pair of Salomon's. I used to use them on my trail runs. Since I cannot run anymore I still wear my Salomon's. I love the fit and comfort (I love the wide toe-box) as well as ease in getting in and out of the shoe with their unique lacing system. I now wear my Salomon's on my daily long power walks (concrete and trail) and in the gym. And, since purchasing this pair with the blue and magenta color combo I've had a number of people stop and ask me about my "cool" shoes! I'm now trying to convince my husband that I need another pair...in a different color!

This is my 4th pair of Salomons. 3 have been XR mission. Most comfortable gym shoes I have ever had with great support. Had plantar faciitis and these helped greatly. Haven't had it since. Will continue to buy this model. Great choices in colors. They require no break in period. Typical size 9.5-10. Ordered 9.5. Perfect fit.

These shoes are amazing. I've had them since February of 2013 and I know I need to swap out after 6 months but I didn't see any wear. I am buying them again if available. I get mad compliments from adults and kids. Great running shoe, very light and supper support, luxurious support.

As the other reviewers suggested, I ordered a size down. I'm normally an 8 1/2 but I ordered an 8 and they fit perfectly. Right out the box, there was no need to adjust or anything. I took them on a trip to the beach and I walked in them all across Miami. They looked good and were truly comfy.

I'm very happy with this shoe. It's not easy to buy a pair of athletic shoes online, from a brand you are trying for the first time. But Zappos makes it possible! I don't run but I needed comfy athletic shoes to wear daily for work. I chose this shoe and brand based on reading lots of reviews. I have slim feet, narrow heels and dwindling symptoms of plantar fasciitis. This might feel narrow if you have wider feet. I didn't go up half a size as I normally would. Fits great and looks good too. I also really like the quicklace system - once I adjusted the laces I never had to fiddle with them again, I just slip the shoe on and off and it still stays snug.

Every pair of Salomons that I have ever had I wore until I got sick of looking at them. They never fall apart. Frayed, discolored, scuffed, but never fell apart. I got these shoes about six months ago, and have worn them daily since. They are extremely supportive, give me amazing stability (no ankle rolling, wobbles, or loosing your balance in these), my feet are warm in the cooler temps and breathe in the 100°F+ of a Texas summer. I have problems with almost every orthopedic joint, mainly hips and knees and cannot survive my active mostly outdoor job in crappy shoes. These were worth every penny. I have flat feet, so I replaced the insoles with arch supporting ones, and the combo of the two was perfect. Also, the shoes have different fabrics/materials strategically placed to provide maximum support and comfort. I have skinny, bony feet with bunions, and the flex rubber at these points eliminates a lot of potential foot pain. The part of the shoe that holds your feet is a snug cocoon of comfort, then the soles and tread below are significantly wider, giving you a very stable feel. No heel sliding, roomy toe box, and supportive (if you pronate like me, this is super important!) quick laces. I also get compliments on these shoes everywhere I go, people rave about how cute they are. Work, emergency rooms, stores, friends, total strangers etc. I love these shoes. I always say they are Salomons from Zappos.

I get more compliments on these shoes than any other tennis shoes I've ever owned! I have never purchased Salomon shoes before but I plan to again! The laces took a little getting used to, but I loved the overall shoe design (in red!) so I quickly got used to them. As a nurse, I spend 12+ hours on my feet at a time and these shoes have not let me down. Highly recommend!

I was in love with another pair but waited and waited and my size is just not in stock. I did not want to wait any longer to go hiking so I got these as a second choice & am so glad I did. I absolutely love the style and the color is a lot prettier than the picture. Of course Solomans are extremely comfortable and these are no different. Get some!

These shoes are great! I read the other reviews and they said that the shoes run big. I am a solid 8, but I thought with the shoes running big I would try a 7½, I ended up sending them back and getting an 8. They are a little wide, but that does not seem to bother me when I am running.

Very happy with this shoe. It has a wider toe box than other shoes and is very comfortable to wear. An avid brisk walker on hills, I was having trouble with the toe wearing out too quickly from the shoe I had ordered for many years. Zappos suggested this brand, Salomon. I am very pleased with this choice and it appears it will wear better. I normally wear a 10 in street shoes, and always order an 11 in tennis shoes, so do order one size up.

I LOVE these shoes. I am a true size 11 but ordered a 10.5 because of the other reviews. I would definitely recommend ordering a half size smaller as the 10.5 fit perfectly. They are comfortable and have excellent arch support. Highly recommend.

As a fitness coach I am on my feet all day. I found this shoe very helpful with my long days at the gym along with cross training workouts. I suffer from plantar fasciitis and this shoe gives my feet the support that they need and at the end of the day my feet feel great! Highly recommended for anyone who needs to be on their feet all day!

I ordered these shoes in a size 8 but ended up taking a 7.5. I feel they run a full size larger. The colors are great and the toe box is nice and wide so there is plenty of room for your toes while you are walking and hiking. I love the colors of this shoe and that was one of the primary reasons I chose it.

I really like this shoe. It has all the specifications I was looking for. Arch support, lightweight, good in cold or wet weather, and a little extra grip on treads. Really good match for what I need.

I am the queen of shoe returns, but I kept these running shoes. They have a roomy toe area, which I need, and were comfortable right out of the box. I have a sort of wide food, so someone with a narrow foot might not be happy with these. I usually wear a size 9 running shoe, but ordered these in an 8.5, which fit great.
