Ordered a pair of shoes. They were previously worn and scuffed on the left sneaker. Contacted Salomon about the damage. Then returned the shoe. Ordered again. They sent me back the same exact pair of damaged sneakers I had just returned with damage on the left sneaker. Attaching a picture so if anyone receives this sneaker they can return it again. At this price point I would expect a brand new unworn pair of sneakers. The seams in a previously purchased Salomon’s are coming out. I am new to this brand. Overall, the worst quality I have seen in a shoe.

I bought these out of impulse and a need to flair up my wardrobe. The first few wears were painful that I almost considered returning them. However, after a couple more wears, these eventually grew increasingly comfortable.I recently came back from a 3-day camping trip. These were on my feet literally all day and night. Perfect for those long walks on the trails. As well as for everything else.I’d definitely buy another pair someday.

I've been wearing Salomon hiking shoes for years. My old XT-4 were finally a bit worse for wear (I still wear them for yard work) and needed a replacement. XT-4 weren't in stock, but the XT-6 were. I was pleasantly surprised how well the fit my narrow feet (similar to the XT-4). Plenty of cushioning and very good traction on the trail. It was funny, we had a party of nine people that went to Montana (Glacier National Park area) and of the nine, eight had Salomon shoes. The one person in our party that didn't have Salomon's had issues. His were brand new and showed major signs of wear at the end of the trip. Everyone else's shoes, including my XT-6 were flawless. As you can see in the photo, I'm actually wearing Salomon shirt, shorts and shoes. Love these shoes and ... MoreI've been wearing Salomon hiking shoes for years.

I've had three pair of XT-6's, and I've loved them all so much until the grips wear down. My first pair I wore constantly, including long serving/bartending shifts, and I thought the mystery substances on the restaurant floors caused the grips to wear down rapidly. However, my next two pairs had their grips wear down quickly too, even after I stopped working in a restaurant. Regardless, they're so comfortable and supportive. Just be careful and keep an eye on your grip treads when the weather gets slippy.
This shoe has blown up thanks to celebrities wearing them like streetwear. I think that is why the quality of the shoe has gone down to keep up with demand, and feels nothing like the build quality of my older Salomons. This shoe runs very narrow and long and uncomfortable from the get go for me. I got the 7.5 and had a lot of room between my toes and the tip of the shoe but my midfoot was screaming. No amount of loosening would fix that. I cannot imagine how this sizing is gender inclusive unless all genders have a very narrow and long foot!
I had heard good things from a couple people about Salomon’s. However, when I ordered and got them I was disappointed. I got them to replace some hiking shoes and I initially liked how grippy the outsole is. I tried them on after a 3.5 mile hike to make sure the length and width were correct and they although the width is good, the heel felt clunky and the interior footbed was very uncomfortable. I thought it was just the cheap liner, so I put a pair of insoles in them, but that made no difference. In fact I tried two different insoles and the interior of the shoe was so uncomfortable, after taking off my other shoe. I also noticed that the mesh upper material seemed too thick and not breathable at all. The laces were also quite long and unlike the Salomon ... MoreI had heard good things from a couple people about Salomon’s. However, when I ordered and got them I was disappointed.

I also noticed that the mesh upper material seemed too thick and not breathable at all. The laces were also quite long and unlike the Salomon Speedcross, there isn’t a pocket on the tongue to store the pull mechanism or rather there is one, but it’s half sewn shut, so unusable for that purpose, which made no sense, so it flops around when you walk. For the $200 price, these shoes were not high quality at all. In fact I am surprised these are so popular since the actual footbed is not comfortable for even 5 minutes let alone a trail run/walk. Anyway, back they went. I’d highly encourage people to try these on after a run to ensure they work for you.
When I bought my first pair of Salomon XT-6s, I immediately fell in love with how comfortable it was and didn't take long to break in. I liked that it was a medium firmness cushion, and it was durable. And laces? See ya!I'm at a point in my life where I'm willing to pay extra for comfort in an everyday shoe/sneaker and I thought this would be the one.Over time and a few pairs, I noticed they were wearing down faster and were more uncomfortable even right out of the box.Since this model in particular has gained a lot of streetwear popularity in the last few years, you can tell the quality has gone down so they can pump out more quantity. Even though its a "sportstyle" shoe, the quality shouldn't have to suffer.I'm not sure if I can continue to purchase this ... MoreWhen I bought my first pair of Salomon XT-6s, I immediately fell in love with how comfortable it was and didn't take long to break in.

I have a couple of pairs of XT-6s and they are by far the most comfortable shoes I own. Truly a pleasure to wear, especially with good fitting socks. I do have narrow feet, which helps.The main problem is that the sole is so thin, I've had this pair for nearly a year , not too much use but the soles are through to the foam already so are likely to only last another week or so.This is even more annoying as the rest of the shoe is in perfect condition, they don't even have the weird splitting round the heal that my other Salomons have (which I don't really mind)My other Salomons soles lasted until the rest of the shoe was falling apart (usually 3 years) so it can be done!I appreciate they are for use on Soft Ground (even says so on the side) but to get to the ... MoreI have a couple of pairs of XT-6s and they are by far the most comfortable shoes I own.

I purchased these for a trip to Scandinavia last year. They are super lightweight for packing and traveling, and are extremely comfortable. Soles are very grippy. They are also very well ventilated and as a result not waterproof at all. This is a great warm, dry weather/summer hiking shoe, but I wouldn't recommend it for wet or muddy environments. I will be purchasing a Gortex version for hikes up here in the Pacific Northwest.
I ordered my normal sizing 6.5. The arch felt like the shoes should fit well but there's a larger than usual gap in front of my toes and behind my heels. If I tighten the lace, the shoes squeeze my feet and make them go numb very quickly. If I don't tighten the lace, the heel back slips no matter how thin or thick my socks are.I would recommend people to order two sizes so you know how they would feel differently.
