Love these boots. So glad they came in a wide version... however, they still are a bit snug on sides of feet. I have to keep the laces pretty loose for them to be comfortable.

I'm a Salomon guy for life! 575+ miles on my Ultra 4s got the new 5s for my next 500+ and already ordered my next pair.

Yes, this is my second pair of Solomon boots, they are perfect for the great outdoors. Please keep the quality of the materials and the work man ship high. Do not cheapen the brand.

Bought a couple Previous pairs men’s and women’s and they held up great. New pair leaks water in light wet hiking and creates hot spots on my feet. Contacted Salomon and they responded I’m outside of warranty. They have only been worn maybe 4.5 5-7 mile hiking trips. Purchased December of 2023.

I’ve owned all previous versions of this boot and loved them for their fit and comfort. This boot falls short of its previous models. This version feels cheaply made and spongy, is not as comfortable or firm fitting and squeaks while I walk. Disappointing

I have been buying your brand of shoes for a couple years now and absolutely love them. This last purchase not as pleased. The comfortability is not quite there and there’s some loose material at the toe of my shoe. All the other ones that I have purchased, I have loved. I stopped buying Merrill’s. Because I feel their quality was going down. And then found Solomon. And fell in love with them, but not too happy about this purchase.

Great boot. Comfortable and perfect fit using the guide. They do have the “flip flop sound”,I believe from the waterproof lining. Looking forward to using them for a Wyoming hiking and fishing trip.

This is my second pair of this outstanding shoe. I walk and walk and walk…. Being a 72 year old active man with some minor balance issues, I rely heavily on my shoes for stability, durability and light weight. These are perfect for my needs.

Gave them as a gift. He loved them. The guy hiked 4 national parks in 10 days with little break in. He said that he was the only one without foot problems in their group and his feet never got tired, but everyone else (without good boots) did have tired and bruised feet. He is a true 10 and the boots fit well right out of box.

These are nice and wide and took about 2 weeks to break in. Now they fit like a glove and are the most comfortable hiking boots I've ever owned. I hike in them daily and have no pain!

Haven’t been on trail yet, that’s later on, but I have tooled around town and when I say these shoes are one of, if not the best fitting shoe I have ever worn, I am not kidding ! Not only do they fit great, they look great! And I don’t give a darn about fashion. I’m all about comfort, quality and functionality. And these shoes cover all three categories with flying colors.

Always hike with Salomon boots and they never disappoint. They were comfortable out of the box and seem like the standard gold standard quality.

Had them for about a month and they are great. Soft tongue, solid grip, comfortable and I don’t sweat like I do in other boots.
