Waterproofing not like it used to be
Originally posted on salomon.com
Yes, I recommend this
I've been buying these shoes for 10+ years. The waterproofing used to be the bomb! Then about 5 yrs ago it changed. I chalked it up to Covid supply chain issues but the quality never recovered. Now walking in wet grass makes my feet damp, even in a new pair. I still buy them because of my difficult-to-fit feet but it's a bummer they're definitely not like the old days. Also, please add more unisex colors in the men's version! Black, brown and gray are a drag. Or add a wide version of the women's. The men's non-GTX version usually has a few color options so please add to the GTX version

My husband works for UPS and this was a suggested shoe by a coworker its the first time in 10 years working that he has had a pair of work shoes he didnt blow through in just a couple months - he trots 10 plus miles a day outside in the city so he puts on a lot of wear and tear and these are comfortable and very durable! highly suggest!

Comfortable but Noisy

The shoes fit well, but the fabric used to fill the space between the laces and the toe is prone to making a popping sound as I walk. This appears to be caused by the stiffness of this fabric. It is kind of annoying and I'm not sure if this noise will diminish over time.

The Quality Continues in This All Time Favorite

This is the 7th pair that I have purchased over the years, and I find the quality of the XA PRO 3D GTX continues to be unsurpassed. Accurate sizing, no break-in time, and reliable performance. The no-tie lacing system is a big reason I keep coming back.

It is taking time to break in

I think the Toebox is hard and it is taking longer time to break in.

This model was not great for long walks or hikes for me. Hurt my Achilles and had to purchase another brand to complete the tour. Thought this Solomon would have done the job but failed me.

Thank you for your feedback! We're sorry to hear the shoes didn't hold up for your longer hikes. It's worth noting that the XA PRO 3D V9 GTX is primarily designed for trail running and occasional hikes. For longer, more extended hikes or backpacking trips, we'd recommend looking at the QUEST 5 GTX, which offers better support and is better suited to those demands. We'd encourage you to visit one of our partner stores where our staff can help find the right model for your next adventure.
Excellent Shoe; Impressive Feature

I've been buying different versions of this and similar shoes for many years and just received this pair to replace one that was more that two years old. Very comfortable, love the lacing system, the GoreTex works very well. I've used them for hiking, walking, occasional running, and just around town.

These shoes are built for any weather conditions and long hikes. They keep my feet dry and provide great support on mountainous hikes across the country.

Solid shoes, run a little bigger than other Salomon's I've owned so I have to use a heal pad. Otherwise good shoes. Durable and waterproof.

Solid, durable all-around hiking/walking shoes
Originally posted on salomon.com

I just bought my fourth or fifth pair of hiking boots. I do a lot of hiking and also use them for everyday walking, yardwork, and even pickle ball! Once they become worn they have another life as my work shoes. The pull tie feature is a game changer, and after they are worn in they can even be slipped on like slippers for casual wear outside. Once the tie cord connection broke on one of my shoes, and the company promptly provided a credit for a new pair of shoes.

Light, comfortable and waterproof!

These have been very nice shoes that I can slip on easily to run an errand. I also cinch them up and they offer good support while still being light and breathable. Even better, I can walk through the wet grass in the morning and my feet stay dry. I was a little worried at first that the soles were a little too stiff and lacked cushioning, but they were broken in after a couple days.

Super comfortable and has a lot of support. I always buy the Gore-tex version that keep my feet dry. I live in New England and they are great on the ice and snow. I have had more than 5 pair over the years and just ordered another.

This is my tenth purchase of a Salomon shoe product. The overall design accommodates my high insteps and arches. Virtually eliminated the toe and foot pain I experienced with other brands. The only “work day, play day” footwear I buy now. I’m estimating 400 miles on the old hikers. They are finally taking on water but still wear great on dry trails.

I bought these for the waterproof aspect for a hiking trip in St lucia. They performed remarkably, super comfortable kept my toes dry and good traction on mud and slippery roots. 10 out of 10
