Customer Reviews Salomon XA Wild GTX

Perfect fit Water proofed

One of the Best Tennis Shoes I have ever bought im a fan of Salomon but these are so confortable

I have purchased quite a few of this type of shoe....light hikers, almost heavy duty sneakers. I mostly use them for street shoes, but I like the support this type of shoe provides over regular sneakers. Of all the different brands I've bought (Merrell, Addidas, and a few others) I like these the best. They fit my foot from the first time I tried them on, and didn't require any break in to get comfortable. I only look for this type shoe with some kind of "laceless" cinching lacing system, and so far the system they use on this shoe is my favorite. Of special note, I don't really like the way many other models just ask you to tuck extra length after tightening under the laces, I really like the lace pocket on this model. They also look to have a good bit of reinforcement in the areas that will get wear and tear from tightening and loosening the lace system. My last similar shoe from Addidas wore out pretty fast wear the laces rubbed agains the shoe material. They aren't cheap, but these are the best shoe like this that I've ever worn. Highly recommended!

Great fit. Comfortable to wear for work.

Great pair of shoes!

The best of the XA style shoes. These feel very natural for walking with smooth heel strike to toe off motion. I replaced the insole with a Samurai red insole ( I do this with all my shoes) and the fit is excellent. I am size 10.5 and that size fits well for me. Overall, I like Salomon shoes, and for me, this is one of the better ones.

Fit is pretty good. The sole is very durable and firm without being too stiff. Very little arch support & not a lot of side support. Really like the quick lace system.

Used these shoes for disc golf. (walking through wet grass and woods) lasted about 8 months as waterproof. thorns tore right through the lining and at the year mark the waterproofing near the sole started to become un-glued. I expected these to last at least 2 years but was disappointed considering they are not cheap shoes. The good is that they are light weight and the corded laces work well.

Great styling, firm sole is decent for trails or on soft ground and the quick-lace system is a nice feature. I tried them on a road run for a few miles and was not a fan of the harder sole on pavement. The inner footbed is pretty comfy on long hikes. A thing I notice is that I always seem to get some little bit of rock or dirt inside the shoe no matter where I am, which seems kind of weird. The outer is kind of noisy too. There is a noticeable pop from a crease near the toe when pushing off due to the lacing system and the stiff GoreTex fabric as well as an overall creaky, squeakiness when walking.

I wear 7 1/2 to 8 (38) but these shoes fit me like a.... not sure. They were huge!
