Review on πŸ‘Ÿ Performance-driven Salomon Men's X Crest Hiking: Unmatched Quality and Durability by William Obong

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Try these shoes.

When it comes to shoes, I'm like a princess and a pea. The toe box can't be too small, my big toe can't touch the top, and the high arch makes you want the inserts for extra support. My experience is that it usually takes my brain about a week to get used to a new pair of shoes. These were different. I had to get used to the fact that there is arch support, I had to walk for a few minutes and my brain and legs were happy. My fingers had plenty of room and they fit perfectly. The overall support was perfect, like they were made specifically for my foot. I used them for a week before playing them in a 27-hole, elevation change, loose stance disc golf tournament. You couldn't fork better for me. I'm a good 50 pounds. due to being overweight, so they were under a lot of stress. I never lost traction and my ankle and foot always felt secure and very comfortable, while the shoe's durability was very solid under my foot, like football boots. Neither the morning dew on the grass nor the occasional water from the creek will shed the edges of the material. Noticing a 1/2 inch stain where the stitching was exposed due to a stitching error, I decided to return them and get a new pair. The second pair of one boot had a problem: when walking I felt the boot roll forward to the right. I suspect the tree was defective. I have since sent them back and am awaiting my loan to order a third pair. So if you are looking for a shoe that offers good support on a firm platform, a wide toe box and a comfortable fit with significant arch support. Try it. Originally I was going to give 5 stars but as I am still having trouble getting shoes that are made correctly I can only give 4. Have to order 3 times to get the right shoes but so I get the shoes that also fit first and has no flaws if worth ordering multiple times. I think it's appropriate to downgrade the overall score for the shoe as part of the shoe experience. I assume mine isn't the norm.
