User Review: Salomon Men's 3D Fastpacker Mid GTX

Rating: rated 4.5 of 5 stars
Source: received it as a personal gift

Summary

So light! So tough. These shoes are amazing. Great heel and ankle support, very versatile and sturdy.
The only drawback is they are a cold/wet weather shoe. Not great for hot days — they are very well insulated considering how light they are, which limits breathability.
But otherwise these are awesome general hiking boots.

Pros

  • Sturdy and durable
  • Comfortable and good support
  • Waterproof and easy to maintain

Cons

  • Not good in hot weather

So light! So tough.

These shoes are amazing. Great heel and ankle support, very versatile and sturdy.

I've done several long hikes in these and have had no issues.

The waterproofing holds true — and they are very easy to clean. 

Great traction and grip — again considering how light these are, it's amazing to think the rubber is so strong.

Nice strong toe cap and rubber case — no sign of breaking or peeling the glue.

Excellent laces and very easy to tighten.

After several treks, still no smell, which is a nice relief.

The only drawback is they are a cold/wet weather shoe. Not great for hot days. They are very well insulated considering how light they are, which limits breathability.

But, otherwise these are awesome general hiking boots.
