Salomon Men's XA Pro 3D Ultra M+ Trail Running Shoe Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have been wearing these shoes for some years now, first in both the regular width and now the wide M+ version. I have to get the wide versions exported from the US to NZ, as they are not sold here. I like the shoes a lot and wanted to write this review to counter the one star other review. I agree with that reviewer that the shoes do wear quite fast - for me the sole and inside the heel. My heels always wear holes in the lining of the shoes there quite quickly.

That aside I wear these shoes all the time, to the exclusion of everything else. I got them originally for trail running, for which they were great, and liked them so much then wore them all the time. They were checked by my podiatrist, and he thought them good for daily use given the shoes level of support.

I even wore them 10 hours per day (standing) when working as a barista. A great, comfortable shoe, reasonably grippy - at least until the soles start to wear. I get about 6 months use out of each pair, before the soles get too flat and the heel lining holes get too annoying. So if that is too fast for you, avoid, otherwise these are great shoes. Also check out other reviews on the web - you should find this model generally well rated.

And if anyone from Salomon is reading this, PLEASE get the wide model sold in some of the other colours :)

Salomon Men's XT Wings Trail Running Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I'll keep this one short.I've reviewed several trail shoes on this site and each has its pros and cons.The Salomon XT Wing is perhaps the most technologically advanced shoe I've every worn.It has stability control, traction control, a durable upper, a comfortable midsole, great handling on any terrain.I recommend it for anyone who is a larger runner and overpronators.I would also recommend it for ultramarathons.I've run three ultras in these bad boys and never missed a step.Okay, for the cons:the lace cables did break on me once, so I recommend buying a lace kit so that you can replace them if they get frayed.Also, PLEASE make sure that you read the instructions on how to lace them properly because I almost cracked my skull open when I tripped on the cable loop after improperly tying them. Otherwise, outstanding product.

Treksta Men's Timber Hiker Trail/Adventure Shoe Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Some people, mostly women, seem to not like the look of this shoe when I wear it. It looks ok to me and what it lacks in athsetics it makes up for in durability and ease of use. The boa technology tie rachet is really nice. I frankly dont know why shoe laces are still used. This shoe is a bit heavy and well insulated and I would recommend its use at less than 90F otherwise your feet may sweat. The whole shoe and especally the heel and bottom half are well made however the top appears as kind of a suade material that could be stained easily although Ive cleaned the shoe easy enough when stained. If you have extra wide feet stay clear of this shoe as it is a bit narrow but if your feet fit then you will enjoy the comfort. The shoe is noisey when walking or running on hard surfaces enough for people to notice so dont use them in quiet areas with hard floors. The reason for the noise is the hard plastic type sole which almost clicks like a tap dance shoe at times on concrete. A bit pricey too.

Salomon Men's XA Pro 3D Ultra Trail Running Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I recently decided I'd take up running.

I keep looking back over that sentence in disbelief.See, for most of my life I'd regarded runners and the things they did to themselves with the same incredulous nature as I'd previously reserved for German adult film actors.Yet here I am.A runner.One of those people you see running in 40 degree weather and light snow.Yeah.Four years ago, had you told me this is what I'd be doing, I'd have laughed.Actually I'd have sputtered half a laugh before breaking down into a throaty smoker's hack, face turning red and tears welling around the edges of my eyes.The type of fit that would leave you uncertain as to if you should pat me reassuringly on the back or pick up a phone and dial "9-1" and just ... wait.

Anyway, here I am, a runner.Honestly, I lucked into buying these shoes.Reason I bought them?Thought they looked cool, and they weren't too cheap.See I figured I'd have a rough time getting into running.Why?BECAUSE IT'S FREAKING RUNNING.It's hell on your joints and about as fun as a kidney stone.So I thought the only way to force myself to give it a solid shot would be to buy somewhat not-cheap shoes so I wouldn't want the money to go to waste.

Lucky for me, my running friends tell me I made a good choice.I mean, as far as I can tell, I love them.Extremely comfy, rugged, but at the same time nice and light.One of my friends who was remarking at how sturdy the shoe looked was extremely surprised at its lightweight nature when she picked it up.

Oh!And it has this really nifty Kevlar lacing system.You just jam your foot in there, yank on the little tab thingie attached to the laces and the entire shoe just SUCKS itself onto your foot.Creepy, man.I have to admit I still haven't mastered using the little button release system to undo the laces.I mean I still manage to get the shoes off with no problem, yeah, but.Sometimes I do so a little awkwardly.I'd like to be a little smoother at it, just in case some hottie walks by while I'm doing so.So I can be all "Yeah baby, I know my way around some shoes."And throw down some serious fingergun/wink action.Gets the ladies every time.

I generally use the shoes on rocky trails just outside of town, but I've also done a bit of running around my neighborhood on pavement and sidewalks and such.Seemed pleasing for either environment.Oh and they seem to dry really quickly after stomping through puddles while yelling "SPLASH!"Probably without the yelling too, but I sure wouldn't know.

The only reason I'm giving this shoe 4 stars instead of 5 is that I, uh.I feel kind of presumptuous as a running newb giving anything 5 stars.That seems like just asking for terrible karma.Like, next thing you know I'd totally blow my knee out the next time I went out running.Yeah.And then I'd have to stay home playing Xbox instead of torturing myself out on the trails.

This.This clearly requires more thought.

Anyway.Nice shoes.

UPDATE: I just took said shoes out for a mud-running excursion in the middle of a heavy rainstorm.Holy CRAP.These things are awesome!There were several times where I thought I was going to slip and eat it in some fairly hardcore areas, but each time the shoe's traction totally saved my butt.I only had enough time to partially hurl an expletive like "HOLY G-" or "MOTHERD-" or "SAMMY HAG-" before the tread dug in and I was fine.Man.These things rule.If I ever have a kid, I'm naming it Salomon, no matter what the gender.

Okay, as you were.
