Backcountry was great with help and sent me to Salomon for support. Salomon was great and gave me a partial refund. What I’m not happy about is they’ve spammed my email ever since and I’ve unsubscribe 7 times so far. The eyelet broke after 50 miles which isn’t good for a $170 pair of hikers. I wouldn’t recommend doing business with them.

Very light

Haven’t taken them out in the back country yet. But I have been training in the with my pack. Very light very comfortable.

Color, style & quality

MY husband is on his third pair. Great colors to choose from, great style, and excellent quality.

Not bad, need more time to get to know them

Purchased on sale a few weeks ago. I’ve been stomping around for a bit. I have a pair of quest mids going strong 7 years. And they are awesome. These ultras run a little long. Maybe a half size or so by direct comparison with the other Salomon sneakers and boots I have. I don’t know for sure until they are broken in and I log a long hike but they feel nice enough. I Always buy sale colors and these ones I would buy again over all black.

Excellent

Don't think twice and buy it, you won't regret it.

Poor quality, not waterproof

I bought these less than a month ago and one of the shoes is already leaking water into my left toe area from just rain. Not worth the cost. Extremely disappointed in quality and durability for the price.

All day comfort

Been wearing Vasque but thought I’d try them. Size is pure. Foot bed and arch contour is better. Softer grippy sole gave me confidence to climb some Arkansas terrain I hadn’t done in 4 years. I appreciate the continuity from the sole to the upper. I can tighten or relax lacing and boot holds desired shape. Going thru gravel river beds was no problem and remained dry. There’s attention to details ( laces, eyelets, front toe, lightweight ) I appreciate. Still pretty new for me, but great first impression so far!

What an awesome shoe/boot. Fits like a foot glove. I like the way it wraps securely around the foot. Water proof, grips the ground, light, and super comfortable. Oh wait... They look good too. Especially on me!!

Fantastic!

Very good looking. Very confortable. These shoes provide very responsive resistance.

Loved them for years!!!

I can’t say enough about these boots! I bought my first pair (the older versions) back in 2012 and finally wore them out after 7 years. I live & play in the Pacific NW, and we get all 4 seasons here, with plenty of rain. I wear these boots as my everyday, and never worry about my feet getting cold or wet by stepping in parking lot puddles, or get around in wet grass, or walking through a few inches of rain where ever I am. I also don’t worry about my feet getting hot during the sunny season hikes, as these boots breath nice! I love how these boots wear like a light-weight trainer or basketball shoe that you can run in, and not a clunky, hard to break in, heavy hiker that hurt your feet after a full day of pounding trails. In fact, I love the function and feel of them so much, I stopped buying hunting boots all together, and started wearing these as my go-to archery hunting boot. I buy 2 pair at a time, and cycle through them with a pair of Salomon running shoes, to keep things fresh, and not have to look to buy new shoes for a solid 4-5 years. I highly recommend these to anyone that is active and looking for protection from the elements.
