I worn this shoes overtime that the heels of the shoes were torn out. Also the sole of the shoes were lossing its grip prior of me using it as a hiking shoes and casual shoes. It may torn out because of the way how I worn it or just the narrow heel part. Other wise its a good shoe also considering that this was on the holiday sale at REI.
I could see that depending on the terrain. Using them for Goruck events, you’re constantly changing terrain, but that’s part of being a better American!
@@RyandMcKinney here Im living a bi cultural life of being Japanese and American. Having this shoe is also another way of saying companion. Prefecting the sole until it worn out. I worn this in Japan and pair of these costed $120 or ¥12000 to be exact. Thank goodness I bought it here. 👍
Avec les salomon XA PRO 3D gtx ( gore tex ) sur 5 paires achetée toutes ont eu des problèmes de décollement sur la partie avant de ses chaussures ! 4 sont retournées en garanties cette dernière acceptées .Un remboursement est préférable puisque avec un échange votre garantie ne se renouvelle pas ,si vous êtes a 6 mois de la fin de garanties et si vos nouvelle paire ont un problème au bout de 7 mois c'est perdu .Salomon assume entièrement sa garantie de deux ans sans aucun soucie !Cela fait 2 ans que je n'ai pas acheté a nouveaux des Salomon GTX espérant que le soucis de décollement soit résolut ,là sur ma dernière paire achetée il y a 5 mois environs les problèmes arrivent ;lors d'utilisation en lieux humide le bout de mes chaussette commence a être humide signe de décollement ,chaussures inspectée preuve de début décollement sur la partie avant de la chaussure .De plus les Salomon XA PRO 3 D GTX ont la face crampons très peu endurante même en utilisation soft .Par contre sur les Salomon XA PRO 3 D aucun problème de décollement ,par même soucis d'endurance des crampons . With the salomon XA PRO 3D gtx (gore tex) on 5 pairs bought all had problems taking off on the front part of his shoes! 4 are returned as warranties the latter accepted. A refund is preferable since with an exchange your guarantee does not renew, if you are 6 months from the end of warranties and if your new pair have a problem after 7 months it is lost. Solomon fully assumes his two-year guarantee without any worries! It's been 2 years since I bought new Solomon GTX hoping that the detachment worries is solved, there on my last pair bought about 5 months ago the problems happen;when using in wet places the tip of my sock begins to be wet sign of detachment, shoes inspected proof of start peeling on the front part of the shoe. In addition the Salomon XA PRO 3 D GTX have the face crampons very hardy even in soft use. On the other hand on the Solomon XA PRO 3 D no problem of detachment, by the same problems of endurance of the crampons.
I have these in the mid-height, goretex version. They were extremely comfortable out of the box, but gave me blisters on both heels rather quickly. I now apply moleskin before any long treks and have no issues. I’ve taken them on two elk hunting trips and love the comfort and light weight, however I’ve found them not be waterproof on several occasions and they do not dry out quickly. I recently purchased the Salomon Quest 4D GTX to gain a bit stiffer feel with more ankle support and hopefully more reliable “waterproofness” but have already had some issues with damp feet. Besides the waterproof issue, both boots have been great but cold wet feet can ruin your day...
Agree on the cold wet feet part ruining your day. For my intended use I got the non-gortex non-waterproof ones. They dried out ok. Love to hear more about the elk hunting treks! Where can I learn more?
How did the width in the heel feel over time? They started off narrow and tight, did they end up feeling better? I just bought these today in wide as well. My only complaint initially was heel width...
Ronald Haskins mine were a little tight, but not uncomfortable. The do “break in” a little as you wear them, but if they are uncomfortable after 10 miles or so on them I’d return them.
Hi, I wanted something for flat-footed people. How are these for them? How is the arch support? According to a few review websites, these are good for flat-footed people. Please confirm. It will be of great help. Thanks.
Good question. It will have wide inside the shoe next to the size. Or if you haven’t bought yet you can see the indication for wide on the box. If no wide indication it is a standard shoe.
Just noticed the huntersville half jacket. Are you from NC? I’m from the Charlotte area! I totally thought you were from GA bc you said in another video that you liked UGA.
Great review. How's the sizing? Stores in my area don't carry Salomons so I'll have to order online. I've heard they run a whole size small. I'm doing a GORUCK Tough then Light right after. Wanting a good shoe for the event that drains well and comfortable.
Rasheem Graham the sizing seemed true to size for me. I went wide because I knew we would cover 40+ in 24 hours and would have some swelling as a result. On a normal day, the wide version is a little too wide, but easily adjusted for me with the laces. Use the link in the description and you can see other peoples reviews too
Nice review. You're funny sometimes. I just ordered these. Looking for something in between a hiking show and a trail runner. From what I've read, and what you said in review, seems maybe this is the shoe for me. I just realized this vid is a few years old. How do you feel in 2021 about the XA? (My current/previous shoe was the North Face Ultra 109. Small down rubbed on side. So I'm hoping this XA will be wider for toes. Ordered the wide).
It’s a few years old but I’m on my second pair. Still a great shoe for cross terrain. A little heavy for a long distance running shoe but still an awesome hoof cover.
In the end too expensive has the sight of the qualities and endurance of this pair, Salomon has like many them a policy of reducing blows by manufacturing these products in low strokes countries which results in a huge loss of quality while increasing prices year after year! Solomon loses his superb, it's sad. Au final trop chère a la vue de la qualités et l'endurance de cette paire ,Salomon a comme beaucoup eux une politique de diminution des coups en fabricant ces produits dans les pays a bas coups ce qui se traduit par une énorme perte de qualités tout en augmentant les prix année après année !Salomon perds de sa superbe ,c'est triste .

I took a long time to find my favorite shoe for rucking events. What is your favorite shoe?
You can tuck the laces once drawn closed located at the top of tongue (knows as the "lace garage").
@@dinosticker Never too old for a dog to learn new tricks! Wear in good health:)
Did you ever remove the hair strand from this shoe? Or did you finally give up and learn to live with it? 6:33
Thanks for that complete review. Just bought a pair. I have right foot issues as well, very wide.
I run in the winter here in E. Canada. I put short gators on and a pair of yaktrax run. My heel stays snug with a somewhat thicker pair of socks.

Solid review! Thank you!
I'll be purchasing a pair of these tomorrow at my local REI with a 20% coupon. I have a star ruck coming up in 4weeks.
Awesome. I’d love for you to come back and post feedback afterwards. Good luck and Godspeed!

Hello ???
How do you know if you got the wide or narrow version?
Good question. It will have wide inside the shoe next to the size. Or if you haven’t bought yet you can see the indication for wide on the box. If no wide indication it is a standard shoe.
Just noticed the huntersville half jacket. Are you from NC? I’m from the Charlotte area! I totally thought you were from GA bc you said in another video that you liked UGA.
From GA originally. From Hville, NC now. Love to meet up some time!
Very helpful
