Great support for the arches! Feels very good and solid overall but not a heavy weight sneaker. Nice styling.

I buy a pair of these every few years because they are my favorite all around shoe (walking, hiking, outdoor whatever). They seem narrower than they ahve been in the past, but still fit fairly well. Love the color choices.

I've had at least 7 pair of these. I love them. I wish the red/pink shoes would return.

This shoe was everything I need in an all around athletic shoe. Good wide toe box for those of us with a wider foot but 'Wide' width shoes are too big. Will find out just how comfortable these are when we get back from Europe the end of this month. Thanks Zappos for all your help in replacing my 1st shipment of these shoes that were unable to make it to my doorstep - you are awesome!

These fit similar to Nikes, a little more narrow than other brands, so perfect for me! Love them for aggressive and muddy trails.

I've been wearing this shoe for years, so I wasn't surprised by the fit. It is by far the most comfortable shoe in my closet--my orthotics fit great and it stabilizes my ankles. I have owned a dozen pairs of these.

This must be about my 6th pair of the Salomon X-Mission 3. They fit like a glove as soon as I take them out of the box. Great colors!

I'm not a runner anymore, but got tired of looking for cross-trainer shoes with enough support for classes like Insanity. I've now been wearing these about a month, and find them to be very comfortable and supportive in my strength training and Insanity classes. I wear them to class, and then around town afterwards. I think they look good, too! The shoe laces are non-tie...you loosen and then tighten the buckle by sliding it, then there's a little "pocket" to put the extra lace and buckle in. I wasn't sure I would like this feature, but now find it quicker and easier than regular laces. I'm pleased with my purchase! One reviewer posted pictures of the bottom of the sole becoming detached, and I thought I'd add that I probably would not choose to wear these to a class that had a lot of quick side-to-side movement.

I'm about to purchase my third pair of these Salomon X-Mission 3. I first bought them because I was looking for a good trail/long walking shoe that I could maybe use for running. I love love love my Salomon hiking boots and snowboard boots, so I figured these might be just as amazing. I have a torn ACL and these shoes keep me stable, comfortable, and pain free. Plus, my physical therapist loves them (bonus!). As for size, I wear a 7 in these, which is the same as my regular shoe size. I tried the 8 at first -- as I would with any other running/trail shoe -- and they were way too big. I'm so happy Soloman is still making these excellent shoes!

I like these a lot and was really on the fence about the lacing system but it’s solid. I got the lagoon color and it looks pretty much the same as it does on the screen. I love salomons- they make durable and comfy shoes.

These are my favorite exercise shoes and the only ones I have purchased in the last 8 years (2 pair per year). I love the wide toe box and the Quicklace system. I usually put a pair of Superfeet in all my shoes, but the original insoles are acceptable.

I bought the deep lagoon color and I LOVE these shoes. I trail run in them and they provide great support. Also very stylish. Thinking about buying a second pair already!

I have purchased Salomon X-Lite hiking boots in the past and was needing an all around active shoe to eliminate having to trudge the boots around on quick vacations. These shoes are extremely light weight and I don't even notice them on. They are true to size I am a 7.5. The tread makes me feel comfortable walking/running/skipping along on a quick jaunt or an extended low level hike in rain and shine. I haven't officially taken them trail running, but do not have a doubt they will take care of my needs. These shoes are fast drying as well - they accidentally took a dip in the ocean with me while kayaking. All I needed to do was rinse them off with fresh water and they were back to normal that evening. The only small remark on this shoe is that my arch (high) did feel a little sore the first couple days wearing them in a low-key environment (standing at work). I would not discourage anyone from buying them though.

This is my second pair Mission 3's. My first pair finally wore out after 2 years of constant use. I love these shoes! They are tough and can take a lot of abuse. I wear mine for everything from walking the dog to hiking and mountain biking. They feel a little stiff at first, but after a few times of wearing them they are broken it. I normally wear a 9 and I had to size down a half size to an 8 1/2. I have the deep lagoon/bluebird and they are true to the colors in the picture.

Love these! After returning 2 other pairs of another brand I went back to my beloved Salomon. I wear 7.5-8 and these were true to size. I got the 8 so I can fit my insole.

I have to use orthotic inserts and this shoe accommodates that very well. This is my second pair and I am hard on these shoes with lots of yard work. I also require a wide toe box and this shoe has that as do many other shoes offered by Salomon.. The quick-cinch laces tuck into a small pocket so laces do not get caught on anything. My new Salomons fit perfectly from the very first wearing, much more supportive than my old ones which were really worn out.

I have very finicky feet - a neuroma on the left & toes that easily get blisters on the right. These shoes are a dream! As others have mentioned, the toe box is nice and wide giving toes lots of room. The heel is narrow so there is no slippage - this could be a first! I can go for miles and my feet are just fine. My biggest fear is Salomon will tamper with the shoe or discontinue it. I also love the laces. At first I was a bit awkward but the laces are quick, simple, and best of all stay in place.

Bought these for a Spartan race even though they aren't made for it. Definitely don't keep the water out but the width and support are amazing and the wide toe box and narrow heal keep you from ramming your toes but stabilizing on insecure trails. I've gone through 6 races in them and I wear them running regularly and I have had them for 3 years and they're barely wearing down. Now I'm stuck trying to decide between buying a running shoes designed for ocr but that has a narrower toe box or just get another one of these because they're THAT awesome. Not to mention, I've sprained my ankles several times and these guys are great on support for weak ankles. Salomon, amazing shoe, great job! All I ask is that maybe you make a racw-worthy (ie a bit more tread and maybe gtx) version of these for the ultimate shoe!
