Selected User Reviews For Salomon Women's X-Ultra Shoe
The lace tabs are thin and tearing, and the sole has pulled away from one of the shoes, despite the fact that I bought them in April and have only worn them on a few hikes and stored them properly. I purchased these shoes in April and tried several times in May, June, and July to fill out the online form on the Salomon website in order to receive the warranty coverage that they advertise. After spending a lot of time uploading photos and re-typing my information, I was unsuccessful. After entering a lot of information, the request is timed out for verification, and I'm expected to repeat the process indefinitely. At least 20 times, I've tried to fill out the form! As far as I can tell, there isn't a phone number to call, so I'm stuck with the fact that I spent $150 on a pair of shoes that are hurting my feet and have only been worn a few times. I am a dissatisfied customer who will never purchase another Salomon product! If anyone from Salomon happens to read this, please contact me to make things right, but I'm done!.
I tried a few different hiking shoes, from Merrell to Columbia to Salomon Outline, before settling on the Salomon Women's Ultra 3 GTX after reading several positive reviews about its comfort and fit. A 5 is what I usually wear. After attempting the Salomon outline in a 5, I received a 5 in Brooks Ghost/Asiscs. 5 (too big) I went with the 5, and I'm glad I did. This shoe is extremely comfortable to wear. I didn't like the quick lace system at first because I thought the laces were too long after they were tightened, but then I saw a youtube video showing how to hide the excess under the tongue's "pocket. " fantastic! I'm an avid athlete who spends a lot of time on my feet, and I'm currently suffering from foot pain and Achilles tendonitis, so I needed a comfortable shoe. I used to hike in my running shoes, but they left my feet in a lot of pain, so I decided to treat myself to some hiking shoes, and after hiking with my family for 5 days in Central Oregon, I realized these were the best choice.
Once again, I made an Amazon purchase that was ruined by the size chart. I have a standard width foot and wear a size 9 shoe. Over-the-shoulder inserts are what I use. Preventing pronation is important. I used the sizing chart to measure the length of my foot instead of ordering a size 9. Size 8. I settled on a width of 5 inches. They were too tight on the back of the heel from the start, causing pain, so I exchanged them for a size 9 wide, and my feet were swimming in them. For a half-hour difference, it's a huge difference. size up. Returned. I found the purple ones in a regular size 9 at a different store. With the inserts in place, they're perfect for at-home use. On a couple of short hikes, I was able to break them in. However, after about 6 miles on a 10 mile hike with 2500 feet of elevation gain, I developed a blister on the back of my right heel/Achilles tendon. When going up steep inclines, there is a stupid horizontal seam in the back heel area that rubs badly. I tried everything I could think of to get it to work, but it didn't work. Different socks performed better (the Darn Tough Merino wool socks are fantastic). Is it just me who has noticed this dreadful seam issue? The toe box is excellent, and the Gortex kept my feet completely dry as I walked through extremely wet grass on overgrown trails. On long hikes, I'll just keep double bandaging my Achilles. Shorter hikes at lower elevations are not an issue. Next time, I think I'll bring a pair of trail runners, as backpackers on thru-hikes aren't allowed to wear trail runners. hikes that are similar to them By the end of the 10-minute run, my feet are always extremely hot and hurting. With these shoes, you can complete a mile in less than an hour.
I'm a shoe snob who prefers Salomon. I have some fantastic hiking boots and trail running shoes. Instead of wearing trail running shoes on my day hikes this year, I decided to go with this hiking shoe, which also has Gore Tex. These salomons fit like a glove, just like the rest of my salomons. Right out of the box, it's a dream come true. There will be no blisters because there will be no breaking in. These shoes are more rigid than trail running shoes, which I noticed. More support for the entire foot and ankles is provided as a result of this. It's less likely that you'll twist your ankle. The aggressive soles are excellent at gripping wet or smooth surfaces without slipping. When hiking on shaky ground, these shoes feel extremely stable.
Merrels have been my go-to hiking shoes for years, so when I needed a new pair, I decided to give these a try. Wow! Excellent fit, plush arch support and a generous toe box. These were accurate in my opinion. The first day out, I went on a short 3-mile hike that included some steep inclines/declines, mud, and running water. These shoes were fantastic!.
Let's face it: it's difficult-- No way- It's difficult to find the ideal trail shoe, but for me, this one comes close. My most recent pair was Chacos, which I adore for their durability and comfort. Chacos, on the other hand, are designed for the average foot, and unlike most brands, do not come in a variety of widths. When I stepped on rocks, despite lacing as tightly as possible/comfortably across the instep, my foot would roll inside the shoe. This is not the case with these Salomons. They're still a little on the wide side-- as well as being a little lengthy- Also, my feet aren't particularly narrow. By a long shot, no. They are, however, as comfortable and cushioned as my beloved Chacos, with a better fit and a nicer heel cup. I'd say I'm somewhere in the middle of a 9 and a 9. 5 (don't you wish the sizes were all the same? After reading reviews, I decided to purchase the 9. I can't say for sure without trying on a 9, but the amount of space in the 9 suggests it. I think I would have done better with a nine instead of a five. Rather than returning them or ordering the 9 to find out, I'll just plan on hiking with a thicker sock. If you're willing to deal with returns, however, I recommend going down a half size.
