Excellent quality and comfortable shoe
This is my second pair of Salomon XA Pro GTX Trail Running Shoes and I continue to be very satisfied with this shoe. The sizing is accurate and the shoe fits well. The sole offers a good grip on wet rocks and the shoe is truly waterproof. I wear cushioned running shoes and appreciate the cushioning in this shoe. I like the lacing system in the Salomon shoes, as it allows to quickly pull the laces to the correct tightness and not have to double knot. I always recommend this shoe to friends looking for a trail running shoe or a low-cut light hiking shoe.

Glad to have the opportunity
to share my experience with these shoes. I wore them for the first time and had to dash through deep puddles leftover from the effects of Hurricane Irene on our dirt road. With great satisfaction, I felt no water permeating the Goretex barrier between sole and upper, as promised in other reviews. Based on this and the comfort of the shoes, I highly recommend them. They appear to be true to size.

fabulous shoe
This shoe is lightweight, has great arch support, traction and looks good too! There are no "uncomfortable zones" wear it rubs against a part of the foot. Gives great stability and shock absorbency.

Love my Salomons!
This is my 4th pair of Salomon trail runners, and it certainly won't be my last. I love that there is no break-in period, and they can be worn right out of the box. I use them all four seasons and don't touch my leather hiking boots any more. I just did a 15 mile snow hike in 20 degree temps, and these shoes, with gaitors, kept my feet toasty and dry all day. They are so light, that when my package arrived at my door, I thought they mistakenly sent me the wrong item, because it felt as if there was nothing in the box.

I Love this Shoe!!!
I am a pronator and this shoe offers more support than any I've ever had. There is a powerful lot of well thought out design in this line of shoes. The pair I am about to order is for a friend who is a physical therapist, tried my shoes, and we are ordering her a pair as we speak. I am grateful for the care the Salomon company puts in producing their shoes, because I have to choose very carefully in order to be pain free. I can walk all day or run in my XA Pro 3D Ultra GTX, and during these cold winter days the Goretex keeps the shoes completely waterproof and yfeet warm.
