X Ultra 360 Waterproof Hiking Trainers

I’ve been using this shoes the last 3 months, one of the best hiking shoes I’ve ever had

One of the best ones, I glad I did this purchase. The quality is amazing

I discovered Solomon shoes by chance when walking across Northern Spain on a 500 mile walk a few years ago. On the first day of walking the trail, my shoes (also a big name brand, I had been training in for a few weeks suddenly failed) I was able to field repair them to wear until I reached the nearest city. I found a store that sold Solomons and they felt comfortable and were really solid straight out of the box (I still had nearly a month of walking and approximately 400 more miles to go) I purchased them and it was a really good decision...they performed great and I had no complaints about the shoe for that journey. My girlfriend and I have grown to choose and recommend Solomons on our other long walks and have really appreciated what we like about the shoes that we have used. So what are the things we like about Solomons?... starting with a very stable and what I feel is a normal sole (not overdone and way too wide "platform-ish" like another popular big brand) the toe box (and a half sized up) helps with toe and foot swelling over long days of walking. The tread is great for walking over different terrain (gravel, asphalt, concrete and of course pebbles and rocks). We also have noticed small rocks don't usually get stuck in the treads (the shoes I mentioned at the start of this review that had failed were always getting small and large rocks stuck in the tread) We use Solomon styles with gore-tex for hiking. So....overall we really both think Solomons are great for long hiking and everyday usage.

I bought the X Ultra 360 GTX as a lighter alternative to heavy boots for the Fall, Winter, and Spring in Canada. They are the perfect solution for city life—they handle snow and rain perfectly while keeping my feet dry. They feel firm, offer great traction on slippery surfaces, and are comfortable for long walks without looking like a bulky hiking boot. Fit Tip: These run true to size, though they have a nice, snug feel that provides great stability. Highly recommend if you're tired of clunky boots but still need serious weather protection!

I’ve used these shoes for 11 months now, walks over varied terrain, and have found it difficult to adjust the lacing in order to relieve tightness across the forefoot without the heel area becoming loose. The forefoot seems to be tight and is uncomfortable, the shoes are the same size as previous Salomon trek/trail shoes I have used over the years (a half size bigger than I use with other brands). I’ve never suffered from corms before but have developed them on both my little toes, which I think is a consequence of daily walks using these shoes. It’s a shame as previous Salomon shoes I’ve used have been exemplary.

Sold to me as a waterproof hiking boot. Excellent boots in so many other ways, but in no way are these boots waterproof - not even close

Very comfortable and look great. The laces are also very nice.

I’ve been using the shoe preferring them to boots for years. Replacing the old for new. The latest does not disappoint. Solid sole with a great upper fits straight away didn’t need to break in.

Gore-Tex is supposed to be waterproof, but these shoes are not! They do okay to repel a bit of water when walking on wet grass etc. but leak in when actually in rain or a little snow.

Only after wearing the shoe a few times, the shoe string broke. I’m not sure if this is a defect but disappointing

The shoes is fine for dry and light weather but as soon as the rain turns heavy the shoe leaks, not sure Gore Tex is what it used to be!!!

The shoe overall is solid. However it caused quite some discomfort on toes and arch after a couple of hours hiking in them. They also started ungluing after 2 uses.

I could have just ordered the wrong size, however I ordered the size I am in every other shoe I own and it had absolutely destroyed my toes. They had no room to move at all and kept slamming against the shoe. If you really insist on getting these, definitely try some on in-store as these fit poorly.
