Missed the mark
After 2 months of wear on these shoes I'm extremely disappointed with my purchase. The most frustrating part is that they're so close to actually being a great shoe. The rigidity in the sole, heel and top of the foot is spot on and feels agile and light on the trail, especially for a mid foot striker like me. However, as has been mentioned throughout these reviews, the lack of ankle support and poorly designed upper make this shoe nearly unwearable. The top laces are anchored far too low and are either biting uncomfortably into the tongue when laced tight, or loosely clinging to the upper and unable to be tucked in. Because of this I find myself constantly picking out debris that sneak in from the top and am constantly relacing to find a more comfortable position to no avail. The result feels like a low top trail running shoe masquerading as a mid height hiking boot. This could be a cool concept but the execution is poor and these will probably live in my closet till I can pawn them off to a friend as I look for a new hiking shoe elsewhere.

7 Miles on the First Wear
I recently purchased these bad boys and to date love them. First time I put them on I went on a 7 mile hike and felt like they were nearly broken in! Love the grip these provide and expect to take them with me for the Tour du Mont Blanc in July!

Great Travel boots
I've had them for little over a year but recently went to a long trip on Japan and the boots were fantastic. the easy on off cord system worked marvelously for quickly moving on airports and places that required to take the shoes off greatly recommended

Canoe camping foot ware
I have been looking for hiking boots that offer ankle support, are light weight, have good grip for mud and rocks, will dry quickly and are easy on/off. They will be used for “wet foot” canoe camping trips. I just need to drill a drainage hole in the heel to let the water out while canoeing. So far, they are comfortable for hiking. I have worn quick lace trail running/hiking shoes for 10 years.

Great shoe, super light and durable
Fantastic! I knew this item was high quality the moment I picked it up at the store. Very lightweight and trustworthy on the trail.

LOVE 'em
I was looking for some cool waterproof hikers and I compared and contrasted these against several others. I was sold by the reputation of Salomon, by the (description of) quality of the construction of the shoe, by the style of the shoes, and by the ratings from other purchasers. This things are built like a tank and are waaaay too cool (looking)! My first wear was not on a hike, but just around town, and they are VERY comfortable. I love the quick tie (laces), too! Can't wait to really break them in --- and I am confident they will perform as described. Thank you Salomon, for such a great product!

Amazing for Flights/Travel
One often not mentioned advantage of this boot, is that it's fantastic for flying with. Due to how light these boots are, they make an absolutely fantastic travel companion for a lightweight multipurpose set of boots. I've recommended these and the Speed Assault 2s for years now and my newest pair didn't disappoint. Absolutely love the quick lace feature, and the ability to pack these boots into a pack. Due to how light they are, you'll forget you're carrying them! A quick point on sizing - I've found that most of the Speed Cross or Cross Hike line up runs a tad small. I recommend ordering a half size up if you plan on using thicker insoles or orthotics.

Great Multipurpose Boot
Light, nimble and super comfortable out of the box. Even more so once I broke them in. 1st hike was 5 miles of bushwhacking through varying terrain (mud, snow, ice, with areas of heavy rock). The boots performed better than expected! Love em!
