Customer Reviews Salomon Outpulse

I have a wide foot and Salomon has always offered a shoe that fits me. These shoes are narrow and uncomfortable even though I bought the same size as last time. The prehistoric return policy means that once I have determined that these shoes won't work for me they are unreturnable. I will go back to my previous brand.

I wanted to love this shoe because there's a lot of potential here. I came from primarily hiking in trail runners and thought I'd give this hiker a shot for. It has a more relaxed fit than the Salomon race shoes and what I'd call a "normal" last with a slightly generous toe box which I appreciated for the longer mile days but not what I'd consider a wide fit. The rubber has good grip on dirt, mud, and mixed terrain. They're a bit slippery on rock but not terrible. The tongue however is absolutely terrible as other reviewers have mentioned. It is nearly impossible to get to stay in place and immediately will slide off to the side which is very uncomfortable. In order to get it to stay remotely in place, you have to really tighten the laces down which makes the fit uncomfortable and even then the tongue will still eventually slide. Overall a good concept with some potential but needs some tweaks.
