Salomon Men's X Ultra Pioneer Climasalomon Waterproof Hiking Shoe

Walking the dog daily through dewy grass, puddles, and the occasional slippery crossing of shallow streams without ending up experiencing wet toes is my quest. I have purchased enough "waterproof" shoes that I realize water soundness does not last forever; however, I do expect at least a year of moderate use and dry feet to consider the shoes "waterproof" (i.e. I will gladly purchase a new pair of shoes yearly to guarantee dry feet). I am a big supporter of Merrel shoes overall, with the Men's Moeb II being very water tight, but I have experienced severe issues with poor traction on round rocks especially when shoe bottoms or rocks are wet. When my Merrels wore out, I recently tried a pair of Columbia Redmond V2 Mid Waterproof which was initially waterproof and had improved traction on slippery rocks; however, after only 3 months of very moderate use I experienced significant issues with wet feet just walking through dewy grass. They offered me merchandise credit if I return them, which I will do at my shipping cost. I researched other brands and found these Salomon shoes with decent reviews and aggressive looking traction. I normally buy a 11 wide, but there were no wide options so I tried the 11 but had to exchange for a 11.5 due to pinching just behind my toes. These fit a little tight on one foot but since the insole could be removed to free up room as a last resort, I decided to keep them and hope they wear-in. After only one use, my foot felt comfortable walking and within a few days they were a perfect fit. The attached picture shows shoes in a shallow stream with toecaps submerged but not coming over the bootie. No water penetration and even the outer material didn't seem to saturate with water like the Columbia shoes did. The wet traction was noticeably improved over previous brands I have tried but of course slippery rocks remain slippery. The aggressive traction is very good on hilly trails with loose rocks/pebbles. Also noteworthy, I purchased "used like-new" for a significant savings which I try to do whenever I can to reduce costs (depending on the product and potential for it being resold with a flaw not identified in the prior-return process). With only a short amount of usage so far, these shoes check all the boxes for me, and if nothing changes, I will certainly plan to repurchase when the need arises.

I wear these for walking my miles at the beach and I love them. They are truely waterproof as our 'sneaker' waves will test this feature with frequency. The super grip tread is wonderful for our wet San Francisco hills: I've never felt more secure in my footing! I only wish they had an elastic strip for tucking ones shoelaces under. Other than that, they're the perfect shoe!

Always best shoes

I will keep buying these , they hold up to tough trail conditions. Fit right and sizing is true .

These are incredible shoes for the price. They are a decent weight for trail hiking shoes, the waterproofing has been put to the test on multiple occasions and worked wonderfully, the tread almost looks like car tire tread so you don't have to worry about slips or falls, and the inners are very comfortable. The only major downside I've seen is if you have wider feet. These do fit true to size length wise, but aren't great for wider feet. You'll have to size up half a size to make them comfortable width wise and deal with the extended toe box. If that isn't an issue for you these are an absolute must add to your footwear rotation.

My beloved Lowas are getting old, so I went looking for a replacement for them after three years of good service. Unfortunately the East Bloc-made Lowas have become really pricey. So I decided to try these Indian-made Salomons. So far, I'm very satisfied. They are supportive and comfortable. They resist my natural tendency to pronate very well. My feet and lower back are happy after several long days of standing and walking. Grip seems good. This model is water-resistant (note some other Salomons that look similar are not). Breathability is good. So far the grip has been good too. All in all, I'm happy to have them.

I love these hiking shoes. The fit (11M) is spot on and the comfort level is very high. Only took a week to break in / conform to my stride. Sturdy, grippy soles with big lugs to handle rough terrain. Really snug lacing system, and they feel great on my feet. I'm so happy with these that I replaced my Keen hiking boots with these same X Ultra Pioneers in the boot version. And the price of these is about half of what I'd expect to pay for shoes and boots from equally respected, competitive brands. I feel like I got a great bargain with these.

These are my 3rd pair of Salomon size 12 hiking shoes, the first two pairs I've owned for years and loved. These however are not working out. I started to have pain while wearing them in both feet; thinking I can "break" them in over a few weeks I did not return them to amazon. That was a mistake. Over the last few weeks they have become impossible to wear all day, I can only wear them for an hour or two before becoming painful. It feels like the widest part of my feet are getting crushed. I reached out to Salomon customer service and received a reply via email quickly. After describing my issues they determined that there is nothing wrong with their shoe. I complained that the previous two pairs were great and the same size, however that made no difference. As a consolation I was offered a 10% coupon code. Sadly I've lost all confidence in the brand and will be donating these to Goodwill and buying from a different brand. Too bad Salomon won't stand behind their product.

My second pair of Salomon shoes, but won’t be my last. Light, supportive, great fit and supremely comfortable for walking or hiking long distances. I’ve walked 25km or more in these many times and always felt fresh with no discomfort at the end. They are the best!

Ürün güzel ama kenarlarında deformasyonlar oldu hemen

Çok kaliteli orijinal ürün Teşekkürler Amazon :)

I ruined a pair of these by washing them and submerging them for 3hrs in water and purex. Salomon gave me a credit to their store when I explained what happened, which is very nice of them.I bought another pair as well from amazon in the meantime, and these have to be some of the best shoes created.They grip the heel of your foot very nicely and feel more like you are wearing a running shoe, albeit a little stiffer because of the waterproof membrane. You might notice one foot is bigger than the other when you wear shoes with waterproof membrane like goretex or cswp membranes.I have stood in a stream of water with these a bunch of times and they worked amazing, but just don't fall in because the water will come in from the top lol. That is what happened to me.

Amazing quality walking shoes.
