Here's what customers have to say
The shoes are described as comfortable, stable, and having excellent grip on various terrains. The quick lacing system is a popular feature that helps lock the foot in place. The shoes are suitable for a wide range of activities, from hiking and walking to light running. However, some customers have experienced quality and durability issues, reporting premature wear and tear, especially in the lining and sole. A few users also found the shoes to be too rigid or lacking in cushioning for running. Sizing inconsistencies between different versions of the shoe have also been noted by some buyers.

Light / technical
Love the lightness of this shoe, it's durable and works well in more technical terrain. Looks great, fast lace system works. Looking at the speedcross next.

Another great shoe!
Bought these for a specific task that was approaching. I bought them based on my previous excellent experience with salomon. Shipping was really fast, shoes are comfortable right out of the box. They gave me the comfort and support i needed. So far so good, yet again with this company. My feet love Salomon shoes!

Great light weight, easy tie one hand
Having one hand, these shoes start off great with the easy and fast way to tie the shoe. No car, and living in a city, i walk 3+ miles a day. these are the best!

Don't fit like my other Salomons
I have been bying size 9.5 with Salomon for ever. This model was different and I had to get a size 10. Also, if you like the fit of the Speedcross, Aero Blaze, Sense Ride and Ultra Glide, this paire is different. The toe box is much wider and because of it, I never feel like they are on securely (and I didn't buy the Wide ones). I kept them because I use them to walk. If I had I bought them to run, I would have returned them. Otherwise, they are nice looking and look well built. They should last a while.

Poor fit compared to earlier versions
I've had 10-12 pairs of these in the past and there is something off about the fit of the new version. The toe box feels wider, which I actually like, but the the shoe is uncomfortable near the arch area. It's possible they break in, but I don't want take a chance and void the warranty so unfortunately I'll be returning them.

Outstanding Hiking and Trail Shoe
Extremely comfortable with superb support my XA Pro 3D have never failed me. The draw string lacing allows for quick adjustment when needed. The soles provide excellent grip regardless of the surface and seem to wear very well. Easily the best pair of trail shoes I have owned.

My first Salomon, Best shoe i´ve ever had
Everything about this shoe is a game change for me. From the excellent grip of the sole, to the high comfort of the fit, all the way to the "slip-on"ish design that with that amazing tieup mechanism of just pulling the clip, I go from a comfy loose fit to a tight aggressive fit ready to hit the trails. 10/10 shoe, would buy it everytime over and over. Just some slight tearing on the side but after 2+myears of heavy trail, mud, rain and races, should be normal wear.

It is not wide enough.
It's a very beautiful shoe, but despite ordering a half size larger, I had to return it because it was too tight.
