| Workhorse! 11-29-05 |
David Micklo

| What can I say? If you're passionate about trail running, this is the workhorse of the bunch! Absolutely excellent. I was a little worried at first, the arch seemed a bit high and stiff, but after a few miles it molded to fit perfectly. The lacing system couldn’t be easier. When your shoes are covered in mud, it's nice just to pull and voila, shoe tied, shoe untied. The little pocket to keep the lace is ingenious! Traction is like wearing a knobby tire on your feet. The Gore-Tex XCR component is fantastic, and the toe box keeps those roots and rocks at bay.
But hey Salomon, how about a gaiter that comes with the shoe? Ahhh, now that would be great! |

| These shoes are very comfy. The strap system is very secure and provides nice, even tension. I fear the thin wire will break, but Salomon seems to have a great warranty program. Excellent traction, especially on rocks and hard pack terrain. I had a lot of fun breaking them in during morning trail runs during a long weekend in Moab. Kind of an odd running shoe - support in the back, but more like a late, flexible racer upfront - taking some time getting used to. The Gore-Tex seems to work really well when I landed in a big puddle at the bottom of a rappel. Several other owners complained of sand getting in the mesh but their not as bad in this regard as my Vasque Breeze XCR mesh hiking boots. |

| I live near Mt. Tamalpais in Marin County. It gets really wet here in the winter but my feet have not gotten wet yet. I’ve submerged then in mud and ran through streams. I also use these shoes up in Tahoe in the snow. They are super easy to slide on, and I love that feature when getting my ski boots on in the parking lot. |

| These shoes are amazing. After a years use of them, they are still holding up great with no problems. I have sat in creek beds to eat my lunch with my feet never getting wet. The only 'problem' with these shoes is that if you don't have high arches, they take a pretty long time to break in. I'd say it took me about twenty miles to really get the arches to the level I felt were really comfortable and contoured well with my foot...so just wear them around town for a while until they fit how you want before taking them out on the trail. |

| These shoes are exactly what I was looking for; a waterproof trail running shoe with good support and cushion. The first few runs were like any other shoe but the sole molded to my feet and the comfort level was better than any other shoe I owned. I did run into some low land, where water was almost above my shoe line, and the water never penetrated. They are easy clean up, just a spray with the hose and all is good. If I have to be a critic, then I would say the only thing I don't like is the look of the front. It does point upward alittle bit. |

| Salomon in the Andes... 03-14-06 |
|
Daniel Cordova

|
| I have been a Salomon fan for years. I just got the XA Pro 3D XCR a few weeks ago. I have to say that even though they might look kind of tight when you first try them (probably because of the chassis in the back) after a couple of hours the fit like gloves. I took my shoes to their light hike in the Ecuadorian Andes, at 12,000 feet. They performed awesome. No blisters, no cold feet, awesome traction. My foot remained fixed and dry inside the shoe. A very good election. |

| A few hours after I got this shoe, there was a strong thunderstorm coming in, and said to myself, what better way to test how waterproof the shoe is, and how it would fare in muddy trails in the park nearby. My eventual use for this shoe is to use them in Orienteering, an outdoor activity which involves a lot of trail running and bushwacking in the woods. At first feel, I thought the back heel sole was too big and awkward, but actually after running on pavement for a mile, it turns out it was great and felt almost identical to a road running shoe. On trail and in the slippery and muddy slopes in the woods, the front sole had great traction, and "feel" for the ground. The hard tip provided great protection against logs and rocks. My disappointment was that after hitting several poodles, three minutes later I could feel water sloshing inside. Not sure if it got in from the stiches on the sole lining, or whether it came from the ankle as water dripped from the rain in (maybe tight gaiters would be of help). [later note: later tested them in a bathtub with shower, and now I am convinced the water came in through the ankle opening]. The high heel that was great for running on flats, but also gave a bit of unbalance on tight turns on trail running, almost triggering a twisting of ankle, so adjusted my run and agressiveness to beware of that slight unbalance. The shoe is very light, and it felt great, with a nice fit all-around the foot. Every foot is different, and every shoe has a "style" or "feel" that may differ to foot to foot. It so happens that this shoe felt good on my foot, but I've heard others that were wearing them that it felt "tight". For rugged terrain, the gore-tex surface might not survive more than a couple of long races with abrasive contact. But if you are running instead of stomping, this is a great shoe. Somewhat on the expensive side, but if you tried them in a store, know your size, and happen to see them on sale, it is a definite buy. |

| I don't know what the definition of a perfect shoe is, but I can imagine that a picture of these shoes would be the definition. I wore out my old GCS XCR's last month after 2 years and bought these just 2 weeks prior to my big day-hike of Mt. Whitney this July 1st. I wore them twice for "break-in" purposes prior to the hike. I made the 21 mile round trip without a single blister or hot spot. Then I took them north to the Tahoe Rim Trail for a 4-day with a 40lb. backpack with the same great results. The Gore Tex in this shoe does put it on the warm side however I like it because I never need to tip-toe or worry about stream/puddle crossings and getting my feet wet. Great sock combo with this shoe it the Clima-Cool low rise. Also, I wear a 12.5 for everyday shoes and I went up to a 13 for my past and current pair of Solomons and they fit great. The price is reasonable when you hike in this shoe that actually works/fits and that they will last for 2 years of moderate to heavy use. |

| I've had these a few months and I am straight-up impressed. Very comfortable shoe while doing anything from just walking to trail running. I've used it in snow, slush, mud, dirt, cement, rocks, pretty much everything. They truly are waterproof and have held up to everything while still looking new. My perfect companion for hiking here in Utah as I go from a dry path to a snowy path on the same day it's 80 degrees. I recommend this for sure. |

| Quality Control?? 04-13-08 |
foremanj1608008

| I add this reply not to dis the shoe per se. I want people to be aware that something may be going sideways at the factory.I have now sent back 2 brand new pairs through a local store. The problem is with the assembly of the sole at the base just under the footbed. In one pair(ultra)there was a narrow hollow underneath the ball of the foot you could feel when pressuring the shoe while at the store. In another pair (XCR's) there was clear inch and a half narrow ridge in the material of the sole. You could feel it as it caused my toes to bunch.I advise anyone who tries on these shoes to very carefully feel for irregularities in this shoe after you try them on.thanks |

| 2nd pair in this series I've owned. Pretty waterproof, lacing system works well. On muddy trails, this and low gaiters work for me. FYI, size tends to run on the small size so would recommend ordering 1/2 size up. |

| I have bought this same style shoe for about four years in a row now. It is, without a doubt, the number one, all round, wear everywhere shoe. Its very stylish, can take a beating, super gripy, and make whatever your doing feel like cloud nine, at least for your feet. The only thing that I can find fault with them, is the lacing, just good ole wear and tear as the shoe grows old. But besides that, these shoes are amazing....did I mention completely waterproof? |

| The shoes run small in the XCR Gore-tex version. I have the XA Pro 3D non Gore-Tex and the Gore-Tex version is tight and short in the same size. A half size larger might be a good idea. |

| I have been searching for a GXT trail shoe for the coming winter. I really liked this shoe--it just did not fit my foot. The arch was too high and hit me funny. Everything else was great. Felt very stable and protective. My wife wears Salomons but has a very high arch. My arches are average. |

| On my New England rocky/rootsy trails, I found the sole on these shoes to be so slippery as to be unusable in wet weather. Kinda defeats the purpose of a Gore-Tex shoe, huh? They've now been relegated to just wearing around town. Rubber compound? Tread configuration? Hard to say what the problem is. Inov-8 shoes (like the FlyRoc 310) have been far far superior. |

| These shoes run very narrow, as much as I wanted to, there was no way I could run in these cause they were to tight on my wide foot. You guys were cool enough to take them back, no questions asked. |

| As the salesperson told me, these are not trail runners, they are hikers. Maybe some runners can handle not having shock absorbtion, but my hips ached after a couple miles in these. I do have high/non-flexible arches so I need SOME cushioning, but these offer VERY-LITTLE. IMHO. |

| These shoes are worth every penny. I have corrective inserts for my flat feet and unlike many other trail shoes, they fit perfectly. I had the chance to test the Gore-Tex and water-proofness of the shoes and they are 110% water proof. They took a heavy downpour of rain for 3 and a half hours and my feet were completely dry. Unfortunetly they do not have Thinsulate so they aren't unbelievably warm, but this wasn't a deal breaker. They do run a bit narrow, but I wore them in within a day or two. I am overly pleased with these shoes. If you need a heavy duty shoe for lots of activity, get this shoe. |

| I agree with most of the previous review comments. Yes, they do fit a bit narrow, but they fit me fine, and I ordered them in the same size that I get all my running shoes in. They also look way cool, and the quicklace is wicked cool too. The ONLY issue I had was that I ordered them in "Moss" color, which on the website looked Yoda-green, which I was looking forward to. But when I got them, the "Moss" color was actually more of a metallic gold! No worries here, because I'm a Purdue grad, so I actually love the black and gold color scheme. Scored a grand slam with these shoes. Sweet deal! |

| Very happy with the quality and looks of the shoe, but the fit for my size is a just a tad snug. Only room for a very thin sock. I hope the fit will relax a bit with break-in. I like the lacing system. |

| This shoe has worked very well for me for running, biking, hiking, and casual. I was rather surprised how fast the tread and rubber seams wore down. You will either love or hate the quick lace system. In principal the system is superior to traditional laces but I have a hard time keeping the lace "keeper" in the special little pocket. This also applies on my tech amphibs. I believe a newer version of this shoe comes with an integrated gator...that will be well worth the extra dough. |

| Almost bought this shoe from BC, but was weary given the other reviews here that mentioned the narrow cut. My local shop happened to have them (and they were on sale), so I was able to try them on. THEY RUN NARROW. That being said, they still fit well, just have to up-size. I wear a 10.5 (wide) in almost every shoe, and just went to the 11s in this shoe. They fit very well, eat up the terrain and work like a submarine when running through streams. VERY happy with these! (side note: got the Garmin Forerunner 305 too. WOW, amazing gadget for getting all the info on your runs). |

| Bought these shoes before a stint of traveling. From running rocky trails in Africa to fighting the driving snow (and slush) in Japan, these shoes never let me down. I have put hundreds of miles on these and they fit better with each step. Very highly recommended. |

| These are hands down the best trail shoes I've ever had. Tested in the Wasatch, Southern Utah, and...I'm not ashamed to admit...everyday wear in Park City during the winter. Comfortable right out of the box and waterproof in the snow and rain. I'll be replacing my current pair with the exact same shoes again. |

I do a lot of free running and trail running, these shoes never miss a beat. Whether you are on dry trails or ripping it up in a mud whole the Salomon XA Pro's are worth every penny.

| My husband was a little bit skeptical when we purchased these shoes. He wasn't so sure about the Quicklace system, but after three months, he wears them all of the time. Yard work, hiking, zipping around town, they are his home away from home. They were well worth the money and have held up famously.
