Customer Reviews Salomon XA Pro 3D V9 GORE-TEX®

Really gutted as i have had two Salomon hiking boots prior to these and they were ace. Sadly these are tight over the top of my right big toe - i think associated with the position of the toggles where the lace threads in which is lower down the foot than before. I have worked for three weeks to try and wear them in by I'm afraid they hurt when i walk downhill. If you have high arches or anything approaching a big toe bunion then i think these will be tight. Such a shame as they look great and my left foot is super comfortable!

Bought a couple weeks ago for running in the negative temps and snow. Shoe sits higher on heel than i realized, a bit stiff for what I was looking for. Great quality overall, nice and dry, durable

On the positive side these shoes seem well made and stylish. The tread seems great for hiking in a variety of terrain. However, the design of the shoe is terrible. I could barely get my foot into them because the way the tongue is sewn you can’t open up the shoe wide enough to comfortably slip in your foot. And since there are not real eyelets and laces you don’t have much leeway to tighten or loosen the shoe to meet your individual comfort level. To be fair, I didn’t look closely enough at the photos of the shoe to realize that these were a slip on and honestly, I wouldn’t have ordered them if I had seen that. If you don’t mind slipping shoes on your feet rather than tying them and if you don’t mind a very stiff feel these might work for you. I returned them.

The shoe overall seems of great quality but as someone who own multiple other styles of salomon shoes, I am dissapointed to see that sizing is not consistent. I bought the same size as I normally do and although I felt the shoes a bit tight, I thought they will loosen but they never did. 5 months later and they're still much tighter than any other shoes I own from this brand, making it impossible to go for any more that 5 miles at a time without pain.

I bought two of these shoes and both fit very differently. The first pair were a snug fit in the heel and fairly short in the length for a 5 3/4 and the second pair the left foot was very wide in the heel and they were a better fit in the length but you cannot wear shoes that appear no care has been taken in manufacturing to provide a good fit. I love the design and quality but the fit is shocking. Also if you have slightly wider feet these are pretty good unless you have a straight big toe it will catch or rub on the inside edge of the toe box. Overall disappointing and both pairs will be returned.
