Salomon Men's Outpulse Mid Gore-Tex Hiking Boot Climbing Shoe

I pulled these right out of the box and went on a 17mile backpacking trip in the High Uintas. They worked out great, lots of support and my feet didn’t hurt at all. My two buddies that went with me wore their hiking shoes that have been broken in and both got blisters on the way up while I didn’t. The water resistance is nice too, we were caught in a bad hail storm on the way down, the trail turned into a river but my feet stayed nice and dry

Fit perfect size 11. Very comfortable and stylish. Very happy.

To preface, I wear these as a police officer. I work 12 hours shifts, 14 days a month, 12 months a year. I also teach on the range and wear these for those days as well. I also workout on my lunch break which includes lifting and running. I am 1 day short of my purchase date so I suppose this is close enough for a review.Durability. These are extremely comfortable and lightweight. Seeing as these are made for trail running, I am happy that they have held up for as long as they have. You can see where most of my weight goes when walking, but there is still tread left even after a year on pavement. I am disappointed with how the fabric on the seams is tearing. Only a few spots, and it is right where a flex point is.Fit. The toe box is snug to tight like most Salomon footwear. The tongue up the ankle is surprisingly loose and is hard to snug down. I did notice for the first few shifts that these would hurt my arch. I started to loosen up the laces by the toes and have had zero issues since. Could just be my feet too.Feetures (see what I did there?): the GoreTex works well! We had a big rain day and there was standing water everywhere. I was walking through puddles and my feet stayed dry. Rain would land and bead off. Even a year later I am still not worried about water getting in. I have had a small amount of water get in through the ripped seams, but that was negligible.Overall. I will see how much longer the tread lasts. I am actively searching for a different pair to wear going forward because these only last 1 year. For the $110 I paid, I think it was worth it. But I won't pay full price for a shoe that will only last 1 year in reality.

From the first try on these boots were super comfortable. I broke them in on a 7 mile, moderate hike. Not once did my feet hurt nor after did I have any places that were rubbed. They are light weight with great traction on any surface.

Excellent grip!

By the name, I guess that they intend this to be a mid-height approach shoe as much as a hiking boot. It has a Med-Hi tongue gusset for debris exclusion, but the weak lacing pattern makes it difficult to achieve a good ankle lock and heel seat. The overall construction quality is excellent. The trail lugged sole is particularly strong and grippy. There is moderate cushioning, but the insole is worthless and must be replaced with an orthotic to be true hiking boot. With an orthotic, they feel good but have a slightly sloppy heel fit owing to the lace pattern. The decision to use a heel tab instead of a loop makes it difficult to put on without completely relaxing the laces. Salomon discontinuing this model is not a loss as there are superior boots out there at this price point.

They fit me nicely and are good looking. I wear these with my jeans, casual dressing. I do not use these for hiking.

Very Very Narrow and Uncomfortable These are so Narrow its Crazy !!!!!!! Do Not Buy these they suck !!!!
