These are very well made shoes. They have a lot of support and not flimsy or lacking in bottom support. They almost fit my wider foot, but just a bit too tight.

Second pair, won't be my last. I always size up by half when buying running or hiking shoes. Like that I ca slide them on and off.

Due to the MANY excellent Salomon products I have purchased and LOVED in the past 25 years, I only buy Salomon. Have tried many other brands and types none can compare. Regarding this shoe: The tongue keeps slipping to side. Material is nylon. That is not good. Otherwise good shoe. Good stability though I like more stability. Can't recommend it because of the tongue.

After reading reviews regarding size, I ordered these a size smaller than my usual and was glad I did. I felt sure-footed and stable my first time out in these, but did endure a bit of ankle abuse. They are lighter than I expected them to be. Overall, a solid shoe!

Salomon hikers in general are an excellent shoe that I would buy again and again. The waterproof feature especially on this model is exceptional! WORKS really WELL! I only rated this pair a 4 because the fit around the ankle is a little too soft and a little too low. Comfortable on but harder to get on without the higher back on the ankle. I feel the tongue of the shoe is a little shorter than my other salomon hikers. I love the quick tie features and the "garage" for the clasp. My only other small complaint is that eventually the string of the quick tie breaks after a while. This usually happens at the point I am ready to buy a new pair but I still think it shouldn't break at all.

I really liked this shoe but the arch support wasn't good for me. It was too far back towards my heel and past experience with this problem made me know that this would end up painful on hikes. Also, couldn't decide if the shoe was too long for hiking. Felt like I might trip but I needed the width. Nice shoe otherwise.

The shoes were great! It was the left tie that simply would not stay locked, causing the shoe to slip off my heel. This was a replacement pair for an outworn pair of Ultra 4s which I loved. Also had issues with the ties staying locked but not until at least a year after I purchased them.

Had a pair of Salomons before with PROPER LACES!! Was forced to have the new type with this pull cord system which I hate as no other option was available. Will be trying to find another brand for my next pair with proper laces

My entire adult life I've worn 7.5 in shoes and boots. This pair is both too long, too wide, and unreturnable. I've added an extra set of insoles and have to cinch up the laces as far as they go. Unfortunately, the laces keeps sliding because they're slippery and the cinch doesn't hold. Otherwise they're pretty comfortable.

I was excited to get these, as I loved my 5 year old pair of Salomons. I'm usually a size 6 that is a European 36 or 36.5. These are a 37+. Interestingly, although they were too long in the foot, the lacing system made them feel comfortably snug on my foot. I have a moderately wide foot with a very high instep and the shoe was comfortable in all those places. The problem was the arch support. I need a good arch support but this one started too far back in the shoe for my foot, so it felt like I was walking on a bump under part of my foot. This could be a "me" thing, I think, though, as I have had the issue before in shoes that were a 36 or 36.5, too. I'm detailing it here in case others might have the same issue! Sadly, I had to return them a week ago. Still waiting for my refund.

I use these for winter hiking. They are comfortable but unfortunately the straps loosen and I constantly have to keep tightening them every couple of steps.

First time I have bought Salomon's. Curious to try as usually receive good online reviews. The fit was incredibly narrow - much more narrow than any of my previous walking shoes - and I ended up with multiple blisters. Returning and am going to try the wider version. Grip in wet was very good compared to previous shoes I have owned.

The shoes would be more comfy if they fit to size, if I bought them again would prob get a 6.5 instead of 7.5.

I have had loads of Solomon walking shoes. I find them very comfortable and water resistant. However with this pair the tongue is too short which makes it difficult to put them on. They are not at all water resistant as just walking in short wet grass got my feet soaked. I am disappointed as have loved my past Solomon shoes. I need to buy some other more waterproof shoes for walking and resent having to spend more money when I thought these were my go to hiking shoes.

Absolutely love the fit of this shoe as well as how I am not sore after hiking a 10+ mile day. I am a little bummed that I have had them just over a year (they are also not my only hiking shoe) and I already have a couple of holes in them with plenty of tread life left.

A lovely shoe and good broad fit. After one summer walk the pale blue got dirty really easily and was difficult to wash off. If you want them to look good be prepared to wash them regularly! Not a great colour for trail walking more of a fashion shoe on pavements.

I sized down, per recommendations, and had to return because they were too small. The reorder process was easy, however, delayed my having the right shoes at the right time. I have had to spend more time than expected trying to break them in as well. They are incredibly stiff and inflexible. Honestly, I'm packing my old shoes for an upcoming trip as I don't believe these are going to be comfortable.

Very comfy, good arch support, but the soles don't last if you walk a lot on cement sidewalks.

I read the reviews on this shoe and didn't order my prior size 9 - which I have always done without issue. I ordered a size 8 and it is tight with normal socks. With a hiking sock, they are extremely small. I have to go through the effort to return and purchase another pair in an 8.5 and hope for the best.

Very comfortable shoes. Downside is that the tongue moves out of place and it is difficult to pull it back into place.
