As durable as a wet paper bag
I have had these shoes for less than 3 months and they are already trash! The toe guard is separating from shoe, the narrow toe box has caused me feet to ache, and the tread is coming apart. Any of these issues, after only 3 months, would be a deal breaker if not for the absolute worst part of these shoes which are the laces! They are so flimsy they have made these shoes unwearable because I can no longer keep them tight. I have had to rob the laces out of my old speedcross 5’s and painstaking try and salvage these xa wilds. This worked for a couple days before another part of the lace system broke leaving both shoes worthless! And you can’t just use a regular shoe lace due to the quick tie system (which does a terrible job of keeping the shoes tight from day one). I will never waist my money on another overpriced defective pair of Solomon’s again! If you are considering a pair of Solomons I would strongly encourage you to reconsider!

Worst pair of shoes I ever had.
I bought them in 2021. Just after 3 months of use they unstuck in front. I sent them for warranty and they repaired them. No matter what i do (poly-socks, dry weather) I always have blisters after running in them. What is more, last week quick lace system broke through the lowest lug on one foot. I hope that warranty will replace them... Totally disapointed.

Uncomfortable and broke in a few months
I bought these to replace my beloved OUTLines after they wore out. I tried the regular XA v8 in the store and it felt super comfy. Then I bought these online, figuring they would keep my foot more secure. Boy was I wrong! These turned out to be a real disappointment. The shoe is extremely rigid. If you want your feet to stay secure, you have to lace them tightly. I found that if I went uphill I had to loosen them so I wouldn't get blisters, then lace them tightly on the way down so my foot wouldn't slide around. Cushioning feels so rigid that it hurts to walk in these on sidewalks. On my second big hike since I got them, the quick lace system broke through the lowest lug on one foot. The matching lug on the other side is nearly broken. How in the world did a design like this get approved? Also, I got MASSIVE blisters, even though I wore them for a few weeks around town to start breaking them in. I've had more comfortable hiking boots, to say nothing of hiking shoes. I love Solomon shoes - I gravitate to them for everything. But these were so disappointing that I'm considering looking elsewhere.

Get yourself a pair
Literally the best shoe I have ever used. Super comfy. My foot feels locked in and ready to move quick or go on a long adventure. I purchased one pair and quickly after receiving them bought gore Tex version. Then I realized if it’s my favorite shoe I may as well have them in every color just in case;)

Light weight and ready to go !
I have worn several versions of Salamon shoes over the years. It has been mainly for serious walking and trail running. The XA Wild is lighter and is engineered bettter for my foot. It has a built in orthotic which needs to be better highlighted as a feather of their shoe. Great shoe.

deceiving color (Bungee Cord...)
They're comfortable, but run slightly narrow and small. My main disappointment is the pictures of the "Bungee Cord / Phantom / Burnt Brick" looks like green/black/orange, when in fact it's more like light gray/black/orange. Bummed that their marketing photographs weren't true to the shoe's actual color.

Possible Wear Issue
I just received my third pair of Solomon trail runners. I enjoy them and wear most days when not wearing dressier shoes. On my last pair of XA Pro 3D the speed lace tore through the strap on both shoes. See photo. My new pair of XA Wild has the same lacing, so I'm hoping it does not have the same issue. I really like the speed lacing and the overall fit. Perhaps I'm pulling the lace too tight or hard. We'll see. Otherwise, I highly recommend them.

Comfortable but ….
I have 2 pairs of this shoes. I’m using them for everyday walking, working and else. But…. After 4-5 hours of using or all day, the feet smell very bad no matter what kind of socks you use.

Great but flawed design
I've had these for a year; I got them because I was advised to get shoes with good arch support, and having had a pair of Salomon's Deemax 3's for quite a few years I decided to go for one that had similar support features (my feet always felt solid in those). I'll say that they've definitely done the job well, despite being a little on the clunky side (not sure what lightweight shoes would offer this kind of support). However right away I noticed the awkward fold on the inner toe area that's been mentioned, and I had a feeling it would be the first part to go. Now in my left shoe (where I have a bunion) there is a hole appearing in the fabric near that fold, and there is some separation with the toecap rubber. My right shoe is similarly beginning to form a hole in the same spot, to a lesser degree.

Great Shoe
I have been wearing Salomon shoes for about 20 years and use them for hiking, backpacking and everyday wear. The XA Wild was a new model for me and has proven to be another great shoe. True fit to size, and the most comfortable shoes for my feet.
