X Ultra Pioneer Mid Climasalomon Waterproof — Men's

Such an amazing pair of shoes, comfortable, and very versatile

Solomon hasnt gone down in quality however whatever compond they use on the soles degrades quickly. These are my third pair and their not used frequently but preform great out in the field.

I normally don’t write reviews, but these shoes are amazing! I am a big fan of Merrill shoe, but I thought I would give these Solomon shoes a try. I am glad I did. The sizing, comfort, weight, support and cushioning are top notch. The only question left is durability and even if they only last one year this purchase will be worth every penny!

It is a lightweight and durable hiking boot. The water resistance has held up quite well. With that being said the shoe can get a bit warm during an activity. Not as breathable as I’d hoped but still a very comfortable shoe, taking about a day to break in. It does fit snug, so wider feet may need a bigger size. The ankle support is comfortable and does help on more rugged terrain. Overall the quality and design of shoe make it well worth the price.

Update after 6 months of use: The sole has stared separating from the upper after just 6 months of mild use. Did not expect such poor quality from Salomon. There is no warranty on these shoes in Amazon, so please use your discretion before buying. Review after 1 week The shoes look great and have excellent quality as expected from Salomon. The shoes were shipped in original packaging with all labels attached. The upper material is textile and full grain leather, not the lower-quality PU-coated leather. I have used the shoes for hiking short distances in tropical locations and they were comfortable with good grip on wet surfaces and provide very stable foothold and ankle support. There were no abrasive areas. Even in the hot weather, my feet did not feel hot or sweaty so the membrane seems to be breathable. The sole does not flex much, and the ankle area is fairly firm. Overall it provides good foot and ankle support without impacting ankle movement. The shoes require break-in. They are also snug around the toes so i suggest going for wide size shoes if your feet are wide. Overall very satisfied with the product, the seller, and the price. These shoes seem to be excellent value for money.

I’m a veteran that has worn more brands of boots over the years than I can remember. These are hands downthe worst boots I’ve ever worn! The extra half size should have been a red flag but these came highlyrecommended by other vets, I decided to try a pair. They were uncomfortable from the start, even past the usual break in time. Not sure if I ended up with a knock off pair as these were anything but water resistant even in 1” of water. I had to wear them extremely tight to keep any water out and I always felt I was being launched forward somehow. The footbeds were a joke and in no time became flatter than thin cardboard. Anytime I wear them even for yard work, my feet, cabs, and knees, kill me afterwards! I wouldn’t waste my money on a pair ever again and in this case, did not get what I paid for or expected.

I absolutely love these boots and am asking myself why I didn't try them earlier. I actually bought the boots after buying and loving a pair of the Salomon Men's X Ultra Pioneer hiking *shoes* (both shoes and boots are pictured side by side below). The shoes are extra comfortable too, and both the shoes and the boots have everything I'm looking for: great fit, very good stability, a durable feel, lug-nut treads and a superior lacing system. Plus they really look great. The boots required only a couple of break-in days, and then they felt like I've owned them forever. I haven't put the waterproofing to the test yet but am preparing to do that next month on some extended hikes in the Lake District of the UK. Overall I'm incredibly happy with these boots and would definitely recommend them. BTW I'm a men's size 11M and that's the size I ordered. The fit is just right.

Probably not fit for hardcore use, but my feet feel great even after working on my feet all day long, and using them for light hiking on the weekends as well. They don't last me any incredibly long time. After about a year they start wearing down a bit, but usually it's just the laces tearing and the sole losing some of its cushion. Overall pretty durable. As for weatherproofing and breathability, I wear them year round and they don't get TOO hot and sweaty on the summer, tho YMMV, and in the winter they're warm enough for casual New England hiking etc. Pretty good waterproofing, I walked through a flooded parking lot, maybe 3 inches of water, and came out just fine, even almost a year in on this pair. I think they might be discontinuing these so I'll grab a couple more and hope for the best in the future.
