Customer Reviews Salomon X-Mission 3

Super comfortable and I get lots of compliments on the colors! This is my second pair of Salomon x-mission 3 and they hold up very well. I really like the pull-ties...they stay put and I can find the exact amount of tightness.

I've been wearing Salomon's running shoes for 13 years. I started needing a hardcore trail shoe and now I need something that'll take me from trail to street behind a stroller. The X-Mission is very comparable to the XR-Mission, minor noticeable design changes like color and sole features. I have feet issues now and these are perfect for my wider toe box and normal heel width. I purchased the Speedcross 3 because I wear the tread down on the XR's quickly but the Speedcross are entirely too narrow for my feet. I normally wear an 8 or 8.5 W (thanks to pregnancy) but I bought a 9 for extra room in the toe. After you break these in, your feet slide forward when laces are loose. I have never loved one of their styles more than the XR but I think the X will be my new favorite.

Like another reviewer, I have been a Salomon fan for years but have learned, yet again, that different styles fit differently. Now that I review the picture closely, I can see that the toe box is smaller. And, when I set this pair next to the XPRO 3D, they are visibly shorter, too. The good news is that Zappos makes the returns easy, including a nice reminder to re-package the shoes as you would like to receive them - which saves us all money in the long run.

I wear a nine in regular shoes and 9/12 in tennis shoes/running shoes. 9/12 is just right in this pair. I've worked out in them just a couple times, but so far so good. Very comfortable and I've gotten lots of compliments as well. But most importantly theft well and provide good cushioning.

Very weird shaped shoe and the laces don't help. The front of the foot was nice and spacious; however, the overall quality reminded me a a cheaper Target Champion shoe. I normally wear Asics, however since they began outsourcing to overseas their shoe quality has changed dramatically. Definitely not for me...but may be right for you!

I have been a loyal fan of Salomon for years. I reorder every 6 months or so, size 7--easy and always reliable. This order, I changed from XR Mission to X Mission 3. Whoa! What happened? After walking around the house for two days, I realized these were much tighter in the toe box. Reordered the 7.5 and great results. Size 7 going back. Who knew? Five stars now that I have established the next size up on this model.

These are about the only shoes I can wear now with my planter fasciitis, they offer support without needed inserts. The only reason I gave 4 stars is that most of them run a little tight in the toes, wish they were a little roomier.

Good shoes, good price and prompt delivery. This is the third pair that I have ordered in the past several years. The first had to be returned for a different size - no charge, no hassle.
