I had no idea when I bought these shoes that they would be USED. Yes, you read right. I got someone's USED pair of shoes!! The spikes were worn and dirty, and the inside of the shoes smelled like stinky feet. I was not pleased.

FANTASTIC SHOE!! I love these. I've been running in them for a few months now, and they are amazing. No soreness, so pinching... solid running shoe for outside. Grip is great, expels water and mud like a charm. Not bogged down by water, but thicker mud can tend to stick at the bottom, which requires some scraping. Still, I love the shoe. If you're into OCR or trail running, this is a great buy

5.0 out of 5 stars I felt like my toes were a bit close to the end ...
Reviewed in the United States on September 12, 2016

I read a lot of reviews before ordering this shoe. Some people are saying that the fit is normal. Many others are saying that the shoe runs big and to order down. I did get a chance to try the shoes on at a local store. I normally wear a size 8 1/2 or 9...leaning more to the size 9. I tried the 8 1/2 on in the store. I felt like my toes were a bit close to the end of the shoe for real trail running / hiking. Since the store didn't have them in size 9, I took a chance and went ahead and ordered them in a 9 from Amazon. The size 9 fits PERFECTLY. So in my humble opinion, they fit true to size.

I found the Solomons to feel great right out of the box. I wore them race-walking on a gnarly gravel road for the fist time and they were GREAT...no break in time needed. Although I feel that they are pretty pricey....they seem to be worth it!

5.0 out of 5 stars A tad small, but awesome!
Reviewed in the United States on September 15, 2017

I LOVE these shoes! I usually wear between a 6 and 6 1/2...I originally ordered my size and it was too tight...I went up to a 7, especially since after walking your feet tend to swell. Even in a 7, I still wear super thin socks since they are still a tad tight across the top of my foot.

I use these mainly for hiking and they are amazing! Super grippy on everything. When I first ordered, I thought the weird grips on the bottom would feel weird when I walked but you don't even notice them.

I have recommended to many people and after these, I don't think I will ever wear any other shoe hiking again.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great shoe for soft ground and wet situations
Reviewed in the United States on February 19, 2015

These shoes are made only for running on soft trails for sure, which is what they advertise. I have ran 20+ miles on rugged trails with them this winter. Running in snow is good or really muddy trails. However, I was surprised how slick they were since they say they are good on slick surfaces. On wet wooden steps or platforms they were slipping a lot. I walked anywhere like that with these shoes. I crossed a lot of water with these shoes too and never had wet feet. Ran in 4" of snow and they stayed dry. Also submerged my foot a few times in icy creeks crossing them and never felt water. One time I think a little water came over shoe and water drained out so fast I never noticed any in the shoe after. Once ground started freezing up again in spots the shoe started hurting my shins to run in. They just are not good, for me that is, on harder ground. A few days I even had to quit my runs because my legs hurt too bad. I swapped to a different shoe for now. I will definitely get these back out when ground thaws or snows again. Not good on ice AT ALL. but what is. Love the laces too. Never loosen. I wear a 8.5 in nike and asics but went had to go with 8 in these. 8.5 was way too big

These shoes make your feet look very long compared to the GTX model. And I guess the waterproofing over the time is the reason then that is black. Ask for comfort there are always great. The color also was portrayed it differently on the website. These are more grey and green then a metallic purple

5.0 out of 5 stars best hiking shoe out there
Reviewed in the United States on March 3, 2016
Verified Purchase
I bought these shoes to replace my worn out speedcrosses and they do not disappoint. Lightweight and the perfect shoe for a hike. I wouldn't wear these just around town because of the ridiculous amount of tread, but I can handle any trail with ease. I appreciate that they are completely enclosed keeping my feed dry through the mud and creeks, but that also means they aren't quite as breathable. For that reason, I only wear them in the colder months. As for sizing, I think they run true to what I experience with salomons. In NB, brooks, ascics I typically wear a 10.5 and I got these in a 9.5 and they fit perfect.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not durable!
Reviewed in the United States on September 20, 2016
Verified Purchase
I had very high hopes for these shoes! I read reviews extensively and they were largely positive. When I tried them on they were extremely comfortable. However, 1 day into a 21 day through hike, the treads on the sole of the shoe already looked worn down and a few of them were starting to peel off. By 5 days into the trip all treads around the edges of the soles were worn off and I could feel each and every stone under my foot with each step. By a week in, I was hobbling into camp at night and trying to rest/walk as little as possible before the morning came around and I've have to do it again. For such expensive shoes I really expected them to be durable -- or at least to last longer than a week! Sadly this is my first and last pair of Salomon's.

Dies ist bereits mein zweiter Salomon Schuh, daher wusste ich, dass ich den Schuh eine Größe größer bestellen muss. Leider nutzt sich nach wie vor die Sohle schnell ab, wobei ich diesmal extra darauf geachtet habe, den Schuh überwiegend auf Grünflächen und Waldwegen zu tragen und nicht auf Asphalt.

Ich liebe diese Schuhe. Es läuft sich wie auf einem Trampolin und Sie sind federleicht. Bin durch Matsch und über Stock und Stein und der Dreck lässt sich super abwaschen. Diese Schuhe sind ihr Geld absolut wert und ich kann Sie wirklich nur weitermpfehlen!!!! Und Die Wasserdichtigkeit hält was sie verspricht!

5.0 out of 5 stars Highly recommend them

Date of order: November 2014;
Used for: running, running on asphalt, trail running;
Worn for: more than 200 times;
Fit for: all the seasons;
Waterproof: yes;
Delivery: fast;
Good for: snow, rain, heavy snow, heavy rain;
Bought them for my wife. She uses them at times daily, while running; usually for 30/ 40 minutes or more.
Con: just one - after used for 2 winters and running frequently on asphalt, the sole (as well as the clima shield) will slowly wear out. But this is normal.
Recommandation: highly!
Tip: order half of a size up if you frequently run in parks, especially on rain & downhill/ uphill; better to have a tiny bit of room and not feel your big toes cornered.
