Hurricane tested
I don't write reviews much at all - don't have product loyalty, am not a bot, all that stuff. I don't even really like 'things' that much, nor do I try to convince other people to get the things I have. But holy smokes, these shoes are great. I initially purchased these as the tactical shoes for a milsim kit that I'm building, but have used the last several moths to break them in before taking them to their first airsoft game. In that amount of time I moved house in a downpour, finished moving that house, and prepped for Helene with these shoes, and I have been impressed the whole time. Here are my pros and cons lists:1- they look cool - very important - keep the ego well tended2- they ARE cool, in that my feet do not feel like they are going to dissolve, even in hot Florida weather3- they are comfortable - they wear like tennis shoes, maybe a little heavier but still able to run in these4- Waterproofing is legit - I don't know how many deeper puddles I had to walk through or step into in the recent rains and my feet never got wet, not once. ( I also did not go over the waterproofing limit of the shoe. Very important. )5- Durability -I have treated these shoes as if I'm going to go to war in them and they're holding up great. Plenty of tread left, still comfortable, still grippy, still dry.CONS: Pricing. I wish they were a little cheaper.All in all, these are wonderfully versatile and capable shoes with good waterproofing, aesthetics, and durability/reliability. I thoroughly plan on acquiring these shoes again once this pair wears down...not sure when that's gonna be, though. Might be waiting a little while :)

Amazing and worth the price
These are great and size/width of the boot is perfect. I've never had boots that fit like a glove and are as light as they are. I feel like I'm walking on air. Definitely worth the price. I'm a Salomon customer from now on.

Great Salomon Shoes!
When I first got these shoes they were uncomfortable and my feet hurt after wearing them. This was for the first 4 or 5 days. At first, I thought I had made a mistake, however, I have other Salomon shoes that I love. I continued to wear them and lo and behold they loosened up and suddenly became very comfortable and adapted to my feet perfectly. My conclusion is they require a “break in” period after which the shoes perform splendidly. Salomon shoes are designed to exacting standards for top performance and they have to fit the foot tightly and securely to do this. I have a long narrow foot and they prevent the sliding and loose fitting common with lower quality shoes. Simply put, these fit perfectly in my growing Salomon collection and for trail hiking, climbing, and everyday walking, they are superb. There is cheaper stuff out there and you get what you pay for. Salomon rocks!

Very good, probably great when broken in!
Loving the tread and sole padding, but they chafe my ankles a bit. The extra padding up top is counterproductive for me, but that might be a “me” problem, because I run wide. Most of the shoes that had problems like that got better once broken in, so I’ll update this review accordingly if I can.Beyond that, so far so good! Not my first pair of Salomons, and most likely not my last :)

Awesome!
I went back to Solomon and couldn't be happier! I always purchased hiking shoes from Salomon, usually the low version, up until recently. I tried Arc'teryx but their soles are very soft and the tread wears down quickly. So, I wanted to do some research and I finally found these pair on Amazon's website. These are not on the Solomon website or any other website that I have found. I could not be happier with these boots, seriously! I normally wear a size 10.5D, I ordered a size 10.5 and they fit perfectly. The padding is great, the high, supportive collar fits snug around your ankled with no gaps. The design and look is badass! A firm sole that has great traction. I mean this soul is going to last years & years with some heavy miles on it. Buy these, you won't be disappointed!

Okay hiking boot, but not any more
Saloman was sized incorrectly: I wear 10.5, but had to send 1st order back and reorder 11.5. Cannot speedlace with fabric lace eyes. Laces are a foot short for my liking. Tongue is not wide enough to seal the top of the boot. For GORTEX, it is not. I have had wet socks walking through wet grass, let alone crossing a creek! I changed my mind: POOR BOOT.
