Salomon Women's X Ultra 4 Gore-tex Hiking Shoes

For three years I tried to make my Keen terradoras work. Every hike my feet would hurt, my toes pinched, and by mile 10 I'm almost in tears. Downhill was a disaster of toe, knee, and hip pain. I thought I was just bad at hiking...Then through a recommendation I got these Salomons, and my life changed.I received them on a friday, was up on a volcano on Monday.I proceeded to do 10 miles a day at the minimum for a week, climbing up and down about 3k feet a day, with ZERO foot pain. Downhill used to be a big problem for me, but I flew down the mountain.These have plenty of toe space and a very solid cushioning so you don't feel any of the uneven ground.As other people mention, they do come a bit narrow in the middle of the foot - I did two 3 mile walks before my big hikes to break them in, and I found that they loosened up a bit. They weren't uncomfortable for me in the first place, but after that they were well fitting. I actually found the middle support comforting and a way to prevent my foot from hitting the toe box.I always wear a normal width shoe, so if you ever tend towards wider shoes, then these could be a problem for you.The goretex - great for stepping into puddles. Not great for a rain downpour, as the tongue of the shoe is not waterproof. I didn't mind the quicklaces - I would have preferred normal laces, but given that the rest of the shoe is so comfortable for me, it's not a hill I'm gonna die on. The quicklaces don't allow you to really tighten the shoe, but I prefer my shoes a bit loose so the fit was fine for me.Overall, so happy I splurged on these and I'm kicking myself for not getting them sooner.

Incredible footbed that comfortable and I love the tie closure is easy to use! I love tread on them. Great for hiking and comfortable for all day wear!

I’ve really enjoyed these so far. They fit well and were comfortable from the very first time I wore them. These have a great tread and feel secure, especially downhill. I love how light they feel on my feet.I haven’t had them for very long, but have worn them in mixed terrain and wet/dry weather and my feet have been happy in them. I hope they hold up for awhile!

The media could not be loaded.  At this price point these shoes really should be constructed better. The tongues are clearly sewed to different lengths. I needed them, so I have lived with it. The waterproofing has worked well so far. I like that they are lightweight. I had to buy insoles because they were hard on my high arches.

Run about a half size too big. But, I love the support and the style.

I liked the look of these a lot. I was pretty excited until I removed one of the tiniest insoles I've ever seen in a hiking shoe. Sure enough--inserting my orthotics took up too much space in the shoe. Even a larger size wouldn't have helped, as it raised my foot to the point where the shoe couldn't stay on my heel when walking. I don't feel my orthotics are overly large or thick--never had this problem with any other brand of hiking shoe or boot.

UPDATE - After 3 days the shoes started ripping. The left one on day 3 & the right one on day 4... As a result, even though I love these shoes, they aren't worth the investment given how long it took before they ripped. Note that I was traveling with my 82 year old mom - so we weren't doing anything extreme!----------------------------I really like these - so much so that I also bought my mom a pair for our trip to Iceland. I tried about 7 other brands/styles but they were all too narrow or the sole was too hard. These were almost perfect - good width for feet on the wide side (both me & my mom), and good cushion in the sole. I prefer the way these tighten - love not having to tie my shoes! Why they are "almost" perfect... I do wish there was a bit more cushion on the bottom and more of an arch (but they are still better than every other one). Also, my mom's 9.5 was on the small size (she wears a 9 - 9.5) and mine was perfect at 6 (I wear a 6 - 6.5). So sizing may not be consistent. However, these blew every other one away!

I love these so much I bought 2 pair!They are super comfortable and easy to adjust with the lace system.

I had checked the sizing and ordered half size down and still felt large. I didn't find the tongue came up far enough and the back of the heel seemed too low to hold the foot from slipping during a hike. For me they were my first choice pick but returned due to not the right fit for me. I will continue to search for a waterproof hiker and hopefully others have better luck with this fine quality Salomon shoe.

Todo perfecto en comodidad y confort pero el tallaje de Salomón regular porque la opción de 2/3 si y 1/3 no, ¿eso por qué? Ya que 1/3 me viene mejor pero bueno en general bien

Toller leichter Schuh - sehr bequem.

Zu einem Top Preis gekauft...Nur 4 Sterne weil ,an manchen Stellen der Kleber zu sehen ist!! Mal sehen wie lange er hält, das paar davor hat zwei Jahre gehalten ist jetzt total abgelaufen vom Profile her!!

Son bastante cómodas
