User Reviews
Light and comfortable. The bottoms have a great pattern for grip. Great for warm weather as they breath well. This was my first pair of Salomon shoes, now I'm a fan.
Excellent shoe with my ankle/foot issues. Sturdy and supported. Not super cushiony but very supported.
Not familiar with Salomon but bought a few different brands of hiking shoes for a trip. All the others went back for different reasons. I kept these because they were comfortable and have a different look. Never took them on the trip and glad I didn’t as they’re too light-duty for real hiking. But walking around in them is fine. If you have wide feet the front of the shoe doesn’t angle in that much so good for us ground slappers if not quite aesthetically as pleasing.The other oddity is the material of the upper- it definitely seems waterproof, but it doesn’t breathe. When in motion I don’t notice but if I’m sitting around my feet get hot. I suppose this is a pro for rainy days and those with perpetually chilly feet. I like the lower, good heel support and feels stable. As others have said the tongue is a weird floppy thing but it doesn’t really get in my way. Overall not bad these will be my rainy day walking shoes.
Great support, light , breathable with a classic style
Very comfortable and lightweight shoe. Nice styling. I don’t like how floppy the tongue is, however. It easily folds over in itself and has to be finagled to not create uncomfortable hot spots. After 10 months, the tongue attachment point is separating from the shoe and the trad is very worn. Not sure I’d purchase again.
Just a great pair of shoes for day-to-day commute. From built quality you can see that they are not top tier luxury shoes, compared to other Salomon shoes, but hey, $50 for good looking, indestructible pair of snickers - I am in. Bought two pairs straight away. Second pair for next year.
I likedI wear it and feel its durable
Comfort was A Plus after that everything went down hill after less than three months use there not very supportive if you hit a dip the shoe tends to lean toward it both shoes the side wall ruptured the tread wears away fast also i have bought Salomon shoes before this honestly is the worse pair i have ever purchased durability is not there for these shoes i had high hopes very let down ..
