Great lightweight hiking shoes
I have been using these shoes hunting and they are very comfortable and lightweight. They keep my feet warm and dry even in freezing temps and wet land areas. I would recommend these shoes to anyone who is looking for a great lightweight hiking shoe!
These Boots are amazing
This is one heavy duty pair of hiking boots as far as the material goes and they are sturdy! But here is the best part, they are light as a feather, lighter than my nike hikers which are much smaller and less sturdy. Great ankle support, great look, and they are super comfortable. Already have 15 miles on them in two days and my feet feel great! Worth the money all the way, your feet will thank you at the end of the day. Can't wait to get some real alltitude on em!
Great Boot
These boots I've had for only a couple days now but they are by far the most comfortable boots I own. Straight out of the box with no break in I went on a 5 mile walk for a non profit here in town and my feet were in heaven. I'm sure they will handle the trails coming up this weekend just as easy. I would highly recommend anything Salomon makes but these in particular are extremely comfortable and they look better in person than they do in the picture. Just another great boot from Salomon that I highly recommend.
Solid and comfortable
I have worn an older version of this shoe for years and have been very pleased. However, all good things tend to be discontinued for whatever reason. These look different, but are actually better. They are a bit MORE water resistant than the previous model. Make no mistake, these are water resistant, not water proof. Rubber boots are the only real water proof option. Overall, though, a great mid boot...so far! A bit pricey.
Love 'em
Bought these to replace the Salomon Canyon Mids, purchased in 2007. They are much lighter than the Canyons, which they resemble in design and fit, same great grip too. Rather than leather, these have an all man made upper. Break in was negligible, it would be better described as "loosening them up". Just spent two days out in muddy snow melt running around in the woods, often up to my ankles, with my scouts and like the my previous Salomon's, my feet were nice and dry. Sizing is true, nice room in the toe box, arch was a bit high for me, but the Ortholite insoles are cushy. I am 5' 9", 215, my foot is a 10 D. Salomon is one of the few brands that feels as if they used my foot as the model for their last. Running around in the woods up and down hills my foot stayed firmly in it's place. Based on the life of my previous Salomon boots and shoes, these should last for quite a while.
