My absolute favorite sneakers in the ugliest color imaginable. Really with Salomon would bring these back in black. I’ll be searching for a dye to make these tolerable for wearing in public.

These Salomon shoes are nice, but not as comfy as the Speedcross 4 that i also have. Hopefully they hold up better than my Speedcross's did.

Love the shoes. Only one issue, when I put them on the tongue keeps sliding into shoe.

Bought a new pair of these in June and the fit about a half size larger. I originally purchase a pair over 5 years ago and was excited to replace them. I cannot wear them, they are too big and can cause a tripping hazard for me. I bought the non-gore pair last year and they fit like my first pair. When looking closer at the manufacturing label, the UK/EUR sizes are different, a 1/2 size up.

Have always worn a 7.5 in Salomon (10+ years) until I tried this pair. I think I need a 7, but since I used a coupon and my reward dollars, I am unable to exchange them to find out...am only eligible for a return, nullifying my coupon and reward $....thanks mucho Zappos, and, after I just spent over $300 last week! Plus, the arch in the right shoe was much higher than the left and too far to the rear of the shoe...would be impossible to wear them even if they were the right size.

Wanted to love them. Thought the colors looked cool on photo. In reality, they were darker, mostly navy blue in appearance. And they looked like a man's shoe on me. The fit was too wide on my heel. I held them up against another hiking shoe I have in the same size and the Salomon looked enormous next to it. For now, went with another brand.

Ive been wearing Salomon for years and I have always loved them, but recently the quality is just not the same on these newer models. I bought a pair of the last model and they wore our so quickly on the material. The shoe and sole were fine it was holes coming in the materials around the lacing after just a couple of months. Anyways Salomon were great and replaced them with a pair of these and within 3 months the gortex was shocking and I was getting really wet feet. So now I still have no suitable shoes for the impending winter ahead. I have emailed them again. I hope they offer some resolution on this.

These shoes have no cushioning and make my feet feel like I've been running on cement barefoot. Even with added insoles. I cannot wear them and fear I have wasted over $100. Usually, Solomons are awesome but these are not.

This is my 4th pair of these running shoes. These are obviously well worn, but I was disappointed to see the materials breaking down in a predictable flex spot across the front of the shoe. As you can see, the shoe strings have literally cut through the top of the shoe material.

I love the fit of these, bought them 2x but they wore out within 5 months. Tried the non-gortex version and those wore out on 3 months.

Not recommended. The manufacturer changed the shoe from the past models. I have purchased 5 pairs of these over the last few years and this latest one is not at all the same. My use is all just walking on uneven terrain and in cities. So not very hard or punishing at all. The lace arrangement - thought it looks basically the same - does not work as well, and the lines broke after some use. This never happened in the past. The tongue is loose and does not fit properly. Not true with previous models. The tread wore out after relatively short time. Not true with previous models. All in all very disappointing - So this is my last pair of these. And no longer recommended. Look elsewhere.

I bought these to replace my old Salomon's , which I LOVED. Same size, same style, but oh, they do not fit the same. After the first 3-4 times I wore these new ones, my feet hurt along the arches and instep. I wear them now when it's wet out because they are water-proof, but otherwise I avoid them as much as possible because they are just not very comfortable. Also, for some reason, I fallen twice when the soles caught on flat pavement -not something that has happened when wearing my other footwear.

Over the years, the XA PRO 3D GTX , has been my shoe of chose! I loved that shoe! It had a perfect fit. It wore well. It had fantastic support. I am an avid hiker. I've owed over 20 pairs of that shoe.
Unfortunately, Salomon decided to make changes to a perfect shoe. The changes are not at all for the better. The tongue of the shoe is too short so it makes it difficult to put on. The heel collapses. The support is minimal. The shoe breaks down quickly. There is no cushion on the ball of the foot.
I can't tell you how upset I am that this shoe is now unfit for wear. Please! Please! Return to the manufacturing of the previous design.

Having purchased this shoe before, many times, I thought nothing of getting myself a new pair to replace my current ones, which have been used and abused every day for the past 4 years. I am so disappointed to realise that Salomon have changed the fit of these previously fantastic shoes to something which replicates a boat! Narrow and pinching at the toe yet, large and gappy at the heel. Having spent a few days walking around my home trying to 'break them in', it appears that it is my poor feet which have infact been 'broken' by these shoes. I am now off to search the internet to try and find some of the previous style, if not, I shall be after a new brand. So sad!

I had to return these. They look nice but where the laces go down towards the toe it hurts when you walk or run. Bad design

I wanted to love these but after only 30 minutes of walking in them, they gave me some of the worst blisters of my life. I'm still suffering a week later. I loved the easy lace system, the arch support and the waterproof aspect but they are stiff and cut into the heels due to the material.

This is my second pair of XA PRO - Wore out the first pair. I ordered my usual size, however there is about an inch of additional space at the toe. I thought maybe a thicker hiking sock may take up the extra space, but I still catch my toe on occasion when hiking in these.
: (. These shoes are really great, I would recommend just sizing down one size.

I bought my last pair less than a year ago. I discovered they were not waterproof almost on the day I bought them, since then they have acquired several holes. I have not even used them extensively. They are, however, comfortable. But they don't last very long and they are not waterproof.

So disappointed with these shoes. They lack grip around the ankle but worse than that the inner sole is very hard and inflexible on the ball of my foot. End result numb toes and foot cramp. Suspect this is a design issue. There seem to be several other people saying the same thing. Buyer beware.

Recently tried a pair of these in a 3.5, as with all other Salomon footwear I have tried, this shoe also sizes up big. Going back over the previous years of owning Salomon footwear and being really happy, I am now unable to wear the brand at all because the sizing has increased so much. I also see there are a fair number of reviews for various models saying the same thing, so disappointing!

I worked in outdoors stores for years, would suggest these to customers, have had 4 pairs. This last pair - which I only used for dog walks at the park! - have 3 holes in them in less than a year: 1 inner right where big toe joins foot, 1 on each shoe outer area where small toe joins foot. I was shocked as I used to lovvve this model. I guess they cheaped-out and no longer care for quality. I got a voucher through the guarantee but there is almost nothing in stock left.
Very disappointed with what used to be the best waterproof hiking shoe and I will not buy Salomon anymore.
