Salomon Symbio Hiking Shoes (For Women)

I purchased the bright green colored ones and they are a bit ugly, but soooo comfortable. I found myself wearing them around my house and not wanting to take them off. The size is 1/2 smaller, so that I usually wear a 9, but the 8 1/2 fit perfectly.

The most comfortable shoes I've ever worn hiking. I'm gonna get another pair for my High Sierra hiking trip.

I wasn't sure that I would like the 'zip tie' laces, but they actually hold well and are easy for quick runs out the door. Also love the super smooshy supports. It feels like my feet are surrounded by small airbags. My only concern is how durable the soft shell exterior will be. I do a fair bit of hiking on and off trail, so I'm wondering if stepping on a single sharp stick will do these in.

Easy to put on -- no laces -- walking the dogs in semi-rough, up and down terrain

Was looking for a light weight hiking shoe. One that would allow my sweaty feet to breathe. I have a problem with blisters. When I first tried these shoes on I thought they might possibly be too wide (which would be weird for me because I have a wide foot) but went for a medium hike (6 miles) that weekend and they were perfect. I think the wideness I felt was because they are not as stiff as my leather Salomon hiking boots (which tend to give me blisters when hiking up hill a lot). These shoes did not need a "breaking in" period for me. They were comfortable from the get go.

Right from the box to the trail, it feels like walking on a cloud. I was a little worried that with so much soft feeling they might not give enough support, but they were great on the hike. They ride a little high on the ankle, but it is not uncomfortable. I could wear these all day.

They give the foot and ankle good support. I did not have to break them in they were comfortable the first time I wore them.

These are pretty comfortable shoes. My feet get sore and tired if I'm standing for to long though. That is really my only complaint.

I go hiking with my dog regularly. Mostly to to the state park, trails up the hill, muddy at times. These shoes give me a lot of stability, comfort and traction. I love them! However, I wear size 7 in regular shoes, and if I get any other athletic shoes at the department stores, I would wear 37.5 or 7, well these I had to exchange twice, each time because they were too big. Finally I am happy with size 6 listed for these shoes, but I am getting another pair in size 5.5 for the summer since I will wear thin socks. Overall great trail and terrain shoes. I would definetely recommend to friend

I'm so pleased with this shoes that I immediately want to order a 2nd pair! It is so light yet very versatile. I feel like I could wear it everywhere. And I like the fast-lacing system, so convenient! I'm taking one star off because of two reasons: 1. It runs a bit large, I'm usually a size 7, but this time I have to exchange for size 6.5 - then it fits me perfectly. 2. It is not as warm as leather shoes. So if I wear it on a daily basis, then my feet become cold after a couple of hours' sitting in office. But it keeps my feet warm enough when I go hiking.
