This is truly the best pair of hiking boots I have had in my life. I always buy Salomon but this model totally checks off all the things that I needed!! Amazing comfort, lightness, fit , insole and inside lining soft and hugging your feet, the laces are the best thing ever !!! No more pain with laces untangling them selfs and fixing them during the walks!! This great lace system let you adjust them, hide them in the front pocket and go.I can't brag enough about the grip !!! The best soles with the best traction and grip!! I love these boots so much and can't thank you enough Salomon for making my hiking the best experience ever!!

These do so well in the conditions I put them through! I am crossing streams, trudging through snow and ice, and these take the elements. I don't have any issues with cold toes or water getting through. These are also very comfortable and I'm happy to wear them on the trail in any condition. Super lightweight!

These boots are so comfortable. The grip on them is absolutely amazing! I wore them on a 17+ mile hike with no hot spots. These are my go to
boot all year round!

I usually wear 8.5, got a 9 to have plenty of room for hiking socks. These are great in mud and shallow creeks. No leaks so far. Great traction on dirt and mud, less so on rock. I add an orthotic sole for my high arches, but overall these are very comfy and make hiking easier and more fun.

Nothing to complain about them, light as air but the grip is very strong.
I'm usually 7 1/2, but 6 1/2 is the right fit for me for these.

After going through a few different brands which left me with bruised ankles on my multiday hikes, these feel great. They have a flexible upper that feels more like a trail running shoe than a hiking book. I'm happy.

My usual go-to hiking shoes are the X Ultra 3 Mid GTX boots, but they were unavailable for so long in my size that I decided to try something new. At first fit, I could not decide whether to go with my usual size (7.5) or move half a size up - neither felt quite right, but I ended up with my regular size as the half size larger felt too loose on my foot.
The shoes themselves are ultra comfortable, very light, and have excellent grip. I loved these boots the first couple of (shorter - 10 km) hikes that I did, until I went on a two day much longer backpacking trip over some steep terrain. Everything was great going uphill, but as soon as the trail went steeply down, my toes jammed into the front of the shoes. At the end of the second day, every downhill step was torture. To top it off, like another reviewer noted, my shoes also started coming apart at the seams.
I have never had a toe jamming issue with my other Salomon boots so I am not sure if I got the size wrong with these ones or if the boots just did not hold my feet in place as well as the other style. As much as I wanted to love these boots, for their initial comfort and lightness, I think that I will go back to the tried and tested X Ultra 3s.

So the shoe is easy to get in and out of which is a plus I guess. Has an awesome sole for winter walking. But those are the only real highlights as far as I’m concerned. The laces don’t synch up to support the ankles and the system actually loosens as you walk or hike. Worst money I’ve spent and I own several Salomon.
When I tried them I assumed it wouldn’t be an issue to have so much of the ankle support above the laces, but it’s a terrible design failure from my perspective. My other winter salomon boots were chewed by my pooch but were amazing. Super bummed. Expensive flop from my perspective.

This shoe is very comfortable and very warm. I do think I could’ve went down a half size but because of the ability to adjust tighter, I kept the shoe

These boots are my go to. They're light, durable and comfortable! Every time I go hiking I'm stopped by someone asking about my boots. Highly recommend.

I bought these hiking shoes about a month ago and have made a few smaller hikes with them and absolutely love the shoes. I like the ease of the shoelace system and the support these shoes provide on the trail. My feet do not slide nor do they get wet crossing small streams or creeks. These are great light-weight shoes for hiking and I am looking forward to testing them for some longer hikes.

I have had my lowtops for a year and a half+. They have been my best friend on miles and miles of trails. Monsoons, snow, rain, mud, rocks and rough fire roads. I hime 1-3 days a week and rely on my shoes to keep me in the move.
Buying the mid-tops before the Cross Hike design is edited. Please dont stop making these!!!

Thought all hiking boots are somewhat uncomfortable. Not this I love so much I'm often wearing it on the street. Great comfort and style. Please make shoes for tennis!

Well done Salomon! I love the Speed Cross and wear that solely for all of my hiking and peak climbing. I was so happy to find the same TRACTION in a taller shoe for Spring snow and water conditions. They are a little loose with the lacing system around the ankle but it is also very comfortable, helps keep the water out, and perfect if you pair these with a little gaiter over the top of the shoe. I have been so happy with them. I wouldn't say I stay perfectly dry on an all day backcountry snow and stream crossing day, but pretty darn good! I would buy a second pair. I typically run between 7-7.5 in Salomon, these feel a little big and the 7 was nice and roomy.

These are so light, comfortable and easy to “tie”. They are waterproof and pretty subdued given their black color. I have found that I default to these almost every day!

These are light and I don't feel like my feet will get too hot. The arch support is superior and I have very high arches. My heel also did not slide and I have narrow heels compared to my toes.

Over the past 5 years I have purchased 10+ pairs of Salomon training shoes. I love them! They are always comfortable out of the box. And I've never had a blister with any Salomon shoe. Big bonus! For a running/walking shoe I always order a size 8.5 - which is my normal shoe size. This shoe is the first ankle height Salomon shoe I've ever worn. I definitely had to size up to a 9. Even though I'm wearing the same Smartwool socks I've always worn. In the past, I ordered one pair of running shoes that did not have the mechanical lacing system. I hated the laces - they always came un-tied. The laces were "slippery." Changing laces was not easy because of the shoe color. I tried the shoe lace version because I found the mechanical lacing system to be less functional in each pair of Salomon shoes I purchased - the toggle slid and the laces always need to be tightened again and again. (Salomon, are you listening?) Same with the current pair of hiking shoes. Which is a bummer. However, tightening the laces with the mechanical system is still easier than hand tying the shoes. And I have comfort and no blisters. ;)

Bought these for my fiancé's Bday for our hiking trips to come. Loves the color and says they are very comfortable. They have not been put to real use as yet but are a hit.
