Customer Reviews Salomon Outback 500 GTX®

i bought these boots about 6 months ago for all my dog walking around the pennines and was initially loved them. They are comfortable and light as advertised but since discovered that when they get wet on the outside the fabric holds on to the water and seems to spread it around the inside and outside of the boot through capillary action. They withstand wading through pools of water i.e are waterproof and have no signs of those tell tale pinpoint leaks, so I can get home with relatively dry feet, however when I leave them to dry overnight on a heated floor (21oC), next to the dehumidifier, in the morning they're still soaking wet through on the outside and the inside of the boot is now also soaked throughout, which means I can't wear them the following day! It takes about 4-5 days to dry this synthetic boot on a heated floor in summer!? So I need 5 pairs to wear on rotation for my daily dog walks if I'm to start each day with dry footwear? That's not good! This is clearly a fabric design issue. A great shame, I've worn Solomons for 30years without an issue.

I bought these a year ago and have worn them many times. They are my go-to hiking boots as they are the most comfortable boots I own. They are rugged and have gone bushwhacking several times. My feet do not get wet in them. The fabric on the outside will retain a bit of water. The sole has great grip. My feet are a bit wide and these give ample room. I hope they keep this style around so I can get another pair once mine wear out.

Je suis vraiment satisfaite, la lgret et la souplesse de la botte est gnial lors de la mont en montagne.

I purchased the competitor's hiking boots (for over 10 years because they were the best hiking boots). Then when I became vegan, I had to look for something else. These hiking boots had no leather so purchased them. While they were a bit higher than my other hiking boots and were a bit more stiff, they are now my favourite pair of boots. Even though I still have the other hiking boots, I always go to this pair to wear. SO I realized it was pure LOVE for these boots!

Love these boots. I've worn them hunting quite a few times already. Never once complained about feet hurting, especially during gruesome hikes.

Essaye qu'une fois pour l'instant car j'ai eu des ampoules au tibia

They took a little time to break in around the ankles but I love the advanced chassis and roomy toe box. As with all GTX shoes, breathability is as good as can be expected with a waterproof membrane. Solid when carrying a full pack and helped to reduce foot fatigue. I've used them so far mostly in very wet, muddy spring conditions and they held up well. The outsole is medium for traction over slippery roots. Good job Salomon!

Helaas vind ik de bovenkant van de schoen stug. Waardoor het bij het lopen zeer doet boven mijn enkel. Verder valt de schoen om de voet goed.

Great light boots but wore them 5 times already and still getting blisters at the back of my heel. Tried insoles and moleskin but nothing works. Not sure how to correct this.

J'ai fait deux randos de 12kms avec trs peu de dnivell pour "roder" mes chaussures. J'ai ressenti une lgre gne au dessus de la mallole du pied gauche. Dernirement, j'ai fait une rando de 17kms et 700m de dnivell pendant 4h30 ,et l j'ai vraiment ressenti un grosse douleur toujours au dessus de la mallole gauche. J'avais hte d'arriver car la douleur devenait intolrable. Donc pour l'instant mon avis est plutt rserv
