By Kay from Anchorage, Alaska on 07/31/2009 Best Uses: Day hikes, Wet Weather Describe Yourself: Casual Adventurer Sizing: Feels half size too big Width: Feels true to width Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: It is unfortunate that Sierra has not changed their sizing guideline for this shoe. I had read reviews that it ran large, but decided to stick to Sierra's sizing guideline when I ordered. I usually wear a 8.5, even in my other Salomon shoes, but this shoe was nearly a full size too big. I ended up getting an 8, but I almost wish I had gone with a 7.5. The lacing system pulls quickly, but does not allow for fine tune adjustment for an optimal fit (something I hadn't considered about this lace system prior to purchase). I am still having a difficult time with my right heel slipping. Arch support is modest, but I have a high arch. Tread is meaty. Sole lends well to trail work. It is a bit stiff for running, but I may need to give it a bit more break in time.
Did I buy the same shoes reviewed here? By Fell runner from UK on 07/30/2009 Describe Yourself: Casual Adventurer Sizing: Feels true to size Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: According to the rave reviews, I thought I was getting something great, and perhaps my hopes were too high. I felt like I was running in tap shoes on the pavement leading to the trail, and once on the trail the enormous toe box left my feet swimming resulting in a less than stable run. The waterproof held well for only half my run (it had just rained) but on a dry day when I wore them, that same feature felt almost too hot. Maybe I have yet to really break them in and discover their charms, but so far I am not impressed. I'd rather stick to my road Mizunos and have wet feet sooner.

They wear great, and I've found all of them true to size. I've recommended them to several people.
Salomon SX Prod 3D Trail Shoes-Gore Tex By Slim Jim from San Francisco, CA on 07/27/2009 Pros: Durable, Stable, Water Resistant Cons: Aggravated bunions, Slippery on some metals Best Uses: Dirt trails, Wet grass Describe Yourself: Casual Adventurer Sizing: Feels true to size Width: Feels true to width Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: I pet sit and board dogs for a living. I was looking for shoes that were good for street walking as well as light trail hiking. They also needed to be waterproof. I already own two other pairs of Salomons and the fit has been good. The fast lace up system is convenient. I've been breaking in this pair for the last 9 days. My feet have stayed dry. However, these have aggravated my bunions. They are also very slippery on some metal plates that I come across when walking on the sidewalks.

It's hard to find a comfortable fit in a hiking shoe without all the "bulk." This is the one! :-)
Excellent Shoe for my purposes... Travel By LM the traveler from New York, New York on 07/13/2009 Pros: Durable, Great Traction, Stable, Water Resistant Best Uses: Day hikes, Travel, Wet Weather Describe Yourself: Casual Adventurer Sizing: Feels true to size Width: Feels true to width Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I travel a lot to out of the way places where it can be rough terrain or slippery ruins. I have Salomon's that are for hot dry weather that do the same good job. Only complaint is that they are a bit heavy.

It is a comfortable shoe, it is actually my second pair. My last pair I have converted into a hiking shoe for easier hikes.
Great shoe for trail running and hiking By Alaska from everywhere and nowhere on 07/07/2009 Pros: Comfortable, Durable, Great Traction, Stable, Water Resistant Best Uses: Backcountry, Day hikes, Everyday, Wet Weather Describe Yourself: Avid Adventurer Sizing: Feels half size too big Width: Feels true to width Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Well I love Salomon shoes period. But, after having bought my most recent pair of these, I found that the shoe size changed a bit. Runs a bit large on my now. However, these are great for anyone who is looking for a versatile shoe. I can wear these on long backcountry bike rides, trail runs, hikes, and even around town. Highly recommended. Give them a bit to break in.
Cheers
Great shoe but runs a bit big By Mai from West Palm Beach, FL on 07/01/2009 Pros: Comfortable, Durable, Great Traction, Stable, Water Resistant Best Uses: Backcountry, Cold weather, Day hikes, Everyday Describe Yourself: Casual Adventurer Sizing: Feels half size too big Width: Feels true to width Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I just received these shoes and haven't had a chance to wear them yet. These will be my first pair of Salomon's. The other reviews I read were saying that it was kind of small but mine felt a half or whole size larger. I had to re-order. I like the look although the toe part looks a tad bit big and somewhat bulky for some reason. Other than that the shoe is very comfy, I like the overall look and I love the company!
