Love them!
I just got these and couldn't be happier. A little snug getting on, but once they're on, they feel fabulous. They do run just a bit large. Lots of toe room! Very cute!

Just what I needed!
I have worn Salomon trail runners for years, and I really like these. The lacing system is awesome. The toe box is big enough even though I ordered my regular size (I have wide feet). I like the plastic in front because it keeps my toes dry when walking the dog through wet grass. Moderate ankle support. I don't actually run in these, but I think I agree with the earlier reviewer that they don't have an awesome insole.

Good shoe, lousy insole -
I still have a pair of Salomon cross-trainers bought around 2000. They are tanks, with heavy rubber outsoles and toe guards, and they are the gold standard for walking shoes for me. These Salomons, sadly, are not as sturdy (hate the plastic stuff around the toe box), but they are designed with the low heel and wide toe that I associate with Salomon, and that other walking/running shoes have abandoned in favor of too much heel cushioning and not enough forefoot support. I'm not wild about the lacing system -- what happens if they break, as they are bound to do? -- but it does keep the shoes reliably secure around my feet. The insoles are flimsy and need replacing, even for walking. I can't imagine running in the shoes with the standard insoles -- instant foot pain!

Overall, this shoe is great. I purchased this shoe for the treadmill. I was having problems with pain in the bottoms of my feet and numbness in my toes. Once I used wore these shoes, that all stopped! The shoes took a couple of wears before breaking in, but they have been very comfortable, not too stiff and give great support. The laces were a little awkward at first, but are very easy to use once you become familiar with them. So far, the quality has been great as well. I would recommend these shoes.

These shoes rock - I love these shoes. After I opened the box and slipped them on, I knew they were keepers. Not only are they super cute but they are very comfortable, light, and supportive. I recommend them.

Another great pair of Solomon’s!!!
This is my second pair of Solomon’s. I wore the soles out on my last pair of Amphibious ones. These are really great for hiking and running on trails. Awesome tread for no slipping and good comfort. I like to use thick socks for hiking. A great shoe!!!

Nice shoe...
I've been wearing XA Comps for years. This new model is still comfortable and the lacing system can't be beat. However, the heel is no longer as narrow and the large plastic toe cap really blocks the air flow through the mesh. The increased amount of grey plastic also compromises the look of the shoe in my opinion. The XA Pro is more stable (less padding) for serious trail running, but the Comps are the best all-around shoe for me. Both XAs have a wider toe box which I need - they may be too roomy for narrow feet.

Awesome!
This shoe is a perfect fit for me! I originally bought another brand, and found that one on the narrow side and uncomfortable. Decided to go for this one and have to say...again...perfect. Very comfortable and light. Good arch support. The only drawback, if there is one, is that the laces loosen a bit while walking, so need adjustment every now and again.

Great shoe!
Love this shoe- I really like the lacing system. It doesn't put pressure on any part of the foot and is easy to adjust. I don't ever want to go back to traditional laces! Zappos has the best shipping policy ever. I ordered my shoes on a Saturday and they arrived early Monday afternoon.

I normally wear a 6.5-7 narrow in a running shoe, a 6 in other shoes. I originally purchased a size 6 in this shoe from a sports store, wore it a few times and ended up giving it to my sister whose feet are also narrow but larger. I then purchased a 5 and a 5 1/2 from Zappos. The size 5 fits best, probably would have worn a 5 1/2 if my foot wasn't narrow. European size for the 5 is a 36 which I also wear in Birkenstocks. The cushioning in this shoe is phenomenal!

Great trail shoe -
Good stability; fits my narrow heel well. I use orthotics so it’s hard to say what the arch support would be like without them. I like the quick laces.

Cute but...
These just did not fit my feet right. They were on the narrow side, about a half size larger than marked and slipped on my heel. The look however was very, very cute. Too bad they just did not fit properly. Good to go if you have a narrow foot and order smaller than your normal size. Cheers to Zappos!

Finally a shoe that fits!
I have very fussy feet and have tried many shoes for walking. To me, it is all about comfort. I tried Keens, which are adorable but I have wide toes and narrow heels and they just didn't work. After hours of reading reviews, I decided to try the Salomon’s. I wanted them for light hiking on dirt paths, but was surprised that they are great for walking on concrete. My feet always hurt when walking on concrete sidewalks. These shoes have made a huge difference. I can walk around town and not feel the pain after! The lacing takes a bit to get used to, but it's rather nice, since you can quickly loosen them if your feet start to swell. I am VERY happy with my purchase and extremely happy with Zappos!

The Best Trail Runner Ever -
I've owned my Salomon Comps for about a year now and I still absolutely love them. At first I was very hesitant to try this lacing system, but I have to say that they are a hundred million times better than regular laces. I used to have such trouble getting my old trail shoes to lace up comfortably. I have found the zip lace system to be heavenly. There are no uncomfortable pressure points, which really surprised me. All shoes should have this lace system. It is so easy, quick, and comfy. As for the sizing, I normally wear a 9.5 or 10, but the 9 in this shoe fits me absolutely perfectly. I run in some seriously mucky, rooty, rocky, gravelly trails, and I have not once slipped. The grip is amazing on the soles. Buy this shoe! - I will never buy another trail runner for as long as they keep making these.

This is my third pair of XZ Comps -
I have feet that are narrow in back, wide in front - wider than usual - and these shoes are perfect for me. Some say it's a little wider or longer than listed. I don't find that.

Great shoe for trail running and adventure racing -
Best shoe ever. I’ve had Salomons for years. This shoe is no exception. I did a twelve hour adventure race in these and they were comfortable. No need to pay the extra money for the XA Pros. The XA Comps are just as good and I think more comfortable.
Other shoes recommended by reviewer: XA Pros, but they cost more.

An amazing shoe -
These shoes are amazing! I've had them for about six months now, and they're still going strong. The lacing system has held up perfectly, and the sole hasn't come off (a problem I experience with many pairs of my shoes). I tend to beat up my shoes pretty badly, but these have taken everything very well. They've gone river walking, hiking, and running, and they're almost as good as new. I'll definitely buy another pair of Salomon’s in the future!

Salomon’s -
A friend said these were the best shoes he has ever had and walked 5 miles the first day he got them. I go the woman’s version. My feet must have needed a break in period. It took about three short walks before I could walk for a long period. I love them now.

Hi! Basically I love this shoe. I started wearing them when I had no foot/leg issues and they were wonderful. I broke my leg and had major ankle issues, they were still wonderful. I have no desire to even try another shoe.

Comfortable!
I purchased this shoe for an upcoming trip to Banff - not really for trail running; although, I may use it for trail running. I found that it is fairly true to size - perhaps a bit on the large size. It's supportive and seems comfortable. Good ventilation - mesh on sides. Shoe string is convenient. Although the ventilation is nice, I didn't realize it was so "open" and might be chilly if I'm not running, just hiking around.

Salomon's XA Comp 3 -
This is a great walking shoe. Very comfortable, supportive, and the ties are terrific...easy to adjust and readjust to your feet if they tend to swell. I use an orthotic (plenty of room for one) but the arch support isn't bad if you don't need maximum arch support. I have a narrow size 12 foot, and I tried a ton of shoes before these...these are the charm. Thank you Zappos over and over and over X 30.

Amazing comfort for flat feet...
I'm 30 years old and never owned such a comfortable pair of sneakers! They have a very high arch, so are perfect for my flat feet. They are incredibly comfortable. I feel like I'm doing my feet justice simply by wearing them!

Only one flaw really -
Maybe my foot is shaped funny, but the front cross-brace part on both shoes felt like it was going to dig into the side of my foot. I only noticed after wearing them about 10 minutes walking around my house. Otherwise the size felt right, maybe a tad big, but I think that little squeeze would have become pretty uncomfortable out on the trail.

 |  | This was the easiest, most pleasant online buying experience I have ever encountered. I ordered a 7 1/2 and it was too big, you guys were out of a 7, which is the size I needed. I had 2 days until the dance and was in a bind. I actually found a phone number to call and the CSR was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. I thought I would have to pay to get another pair sent out, but they transferred my credit and sent another pair via next day delivery. It was delivered as promised and fit perfect. I returned the other pair via the instructions and the whole process was wonderful. Thank you for great customer service!!! I will be placing many more orders via Zappos!!! |  | ~ Shelley Z, October 30 2008
