User Review: Salomon Super Mountain 9

Reviewed November 8, 2001 by Hanimal

Rating: rated 5 of 5 stars
Materials: Plastic rand/heavy leather upper
Use: General mountaineering
Break-in Period: 20 miles
Price Paid: $189 on sale

I needed a boot that was suitable for alpine mountaineering, yet soft enough for long approach hikes. The S9 fills both needs nicely. The boot is plenty stiff enough yet the uppers have enough flexibility to allow you to hike. I modified the boots with custom Superfeet insoles and some small Dr. Scholl's pads to tighten up the heel cup. The S9's perform superbly on easy rock, scree, talus and with crampons. I have hiked up to 8 miles on trails with a 45lb pack and had no problems. Though I've only used them for a few trips, they have developed no leaks and so have been durable so far. My feet are medium to high volume with a fairly high arch. I highly recommend the S9, especially if you can find them on sale.
