Review on Salomon Mens Athletic Water Shoes Hiking Black Sports & Fitness by Satish Tegan

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Athletic is worth every penny

I've had 5 or 6 pairs of Xa Pro shoes over the past few years and keep coming back. I use them daily on trails and sidewalks for a 2 mile walk in the morning and a 2-3 mile walk/run/hike in the late afternoon (my Goldendoodle keeps me going!). I ride hundreds of miles on each pair before having to replace them due to tread wear. Very comfortable and breathable. I have a new pair on the way but I noticed that the last pair (purchased in April 2020) had some quality issues which I hope have been resolved. Includes internal mesh at ankle and padding that frays to plastic support and frayed stitching at tongue. Neither has happened to previous pairs, but then again I get quite a bit of mileage from them and these issues may not show up in more everyday use. I also had a pair of Adidas shoes with a similar lacing system. last few years. This was their weakest point, and on both pairs, failure of the clamping mechanism rendered them useless. I had no problems with the Salomon lacing system, even after heavy use.

Pros
  • Consistent test results
Cons
  • Secret
