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. Read more

I've had them for about a month and so far so good! They keep the water out and are more comfortable than my Merrill's that I had that were $40 more expensive. Read more

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! Read more

Excellent shoe for hiking in steep hills covered by snow and slide. I used for the whole day walking and climbing in snow with wet water around. I didn't feel neither chill nor wet and I felt very comfortable. 4 star because I couldn't find 43E, instead I bought 431/3 size which I felt slightly oversized by few mm and the shoe is bit narrow in the front that squeezed my toes. I would recommend to go for wide, but I think such option is not available in Salomon. Overall is a good shoe and can be used for regular use also. Read more

I am new to hiking. These shoes fit perfectly. First hike was 12 km. No blisters, breathable and felt like I had owned them for years, comfy right out of the box. Read more

The fit is good. They are extremely comfortable and well made. Great price compared to buying them in some if the stores. Read more

feel sturdy and well made. Read more

It took a little while for the right shoe to feel comfortable, but that's not the shoe's problem. I had broken my baby toe a while ago, and it took some time for the shoe to stretch to fit comfortably. But now they are great. Good traction & wear. I run about 5 - 10k a day, and they still look and feel perfect, after several months. Read more
