These Salomon boots are designed for moving fast in critical situations. Based on the brand's iconic XA Pro 3D trail shoe, this direct-action boot is more durable in every way to withstand the challenges of daily professional use. Every component gets reinforcement, from the stitching to the mesh to the laces to the outsole. Salomon's 3D Advanced Chassis guides the foot even on the roughest terrain and offers great protection and stability. It features a Quicklace system for easy-on, easy-off wear. The molded Ortholite sockliner is molded to match the contours of the foot, and provides cushioning, breathability and durability, to upgrade the comfort and performance. Quality full-grain nubuck leather offers longer wear and durability. The All Terrain Contagrip is built for the widest variety of surfaces. A layer of puncture-resistant material added to the outsole prevents sharp objects from penetrating the bottom of the shoe. The tongue is connected to the upper on both sides, preventing debris from entering the shoe, and keeping the tongue centered. These lace up boots have a drop value of 10 mm and a weight per unit of 490 g.

These boots are designed to near perfection. I’m extremely particular about my footwear. This Salomon model rivals and surpasses much more expensive boots I’ve had. Proper fit, the wide size helps prevent pinching and hotspots. Very supportive and durable while still being light. A perfect balance. I can, jog, hike and go to dinner in them. Wear them winter or summer. My only criticism is the speed lace locking clasp. I have three other Salomon shoes with the same mechanism, and none slip, however the clasp on these boots slip and loosened over time during initial use. After some time (a month or so), they stopped slipping as much. Perhaps it was used error. I think the loosing may have occurred due to the rubber pulling tab having to be placed in the same pouch as ... MoreThese boots are designed to near perfection.

I think the loosing may have occurred due to the rubber pulling tab having to be placed in the same pouch as the locking clasp, unlike my other Salomons. The pull tab may possibly be rubbing against the clasp and releasing it. I’m finding if I am more careful in where I place the tab, there is less, if any slippage. Anyhow, certainly not a deal breaker and I’d readily buy these masterpiece boots again. Highly recommend. - 1 star only for the finicky clasps.

I have now spent several 12 hour shifts as well as walked some miles in the forces to be able to make a decent review. My first impression, the fit and finish is spot on. They look and feel high quality and my shoe size was true to my normal size. If you are someone like myself who likes a more tactical tennis shoe/boot look and feel you will like these. I have used three different versions of UAs and these feel much more durable and better made. They seem to be breaking in and becoming more comfortable at this point. They are a much more boot feel and have a much stiffer sole than other boots that I am used two but I knew that going into them. If you stand for hours at a time on a regular basis I would not recommend these at all. For patrol use I think they bridge ... MoreI have now spent several 12 hour shifts as well as walked some miles in the forces to be able to make a decent review.

If you stand for hours at a time on a regular basis I would not recommend these at all. For patrol use I think they bridge the gap between tactical boots and tennis shoes very well in my opinion. However, I have had a love hate relationship with these shoes so far. My first issue was the inner stiches on the seam that runs down your inner ankle. There was a slight knot on the right shoe that caused some pressure point pain to my ankle. I eventually found that knot and was able to manipulate it enough to fix that problem. Now my biggest complaint with the shoes are the laces. I like the lace system but it does take some time to get used to. I found myself at first lacing them too tight because I read some reviews of them loosing up which I have noticed only a small amount. Therefore I now lace them like normal and resolved that problem. My number one complaint which is infuriating is that the laces essentially squeak on the lower eyelets of the shoes EVERY SINGLE STEP I TAKE. The left shoe for whatever reason is significantly louder than the right but both still make a squeak/rubbing noise every time I step that comes from the laces. I have tried to tighten the laces to prevent the rubbing which made the shoes uncomfortable and did not help as well as tried to wear them looser which again made no difference. From what I can tell the upper eyelets have an inner plastic piece that allows the laces to glide in them easier and reduces the friction/rubbing noise however, the lowest or bottom eyelets does not have that inner plastic piece. I am to the point of attempting to use gun oil or inject grease into the eyelets in order to try and stop the squeaking. I want to love these boots however, they are making it hard too. If anyone has a solution to the squeaking please let me know so I can finally enjoy them to their fullest potential.

This is my 3rd pair of Salomons I've owned, and I will continue to buy this brand because they are always comfortable right out the box. I thought these were going to be narrow, but they fit fine, as I usually buy wide size boots. These have nylon mixed with some leather, and the feel is pretty durable, I don't plan on raiding another country, or hiking dozens of miles so around town, they will do just fine. The speed lace system these have are so easy to use, and speedy. I can actually put these boots on while standing, just slipping my foot into them, and with a pull of the lace, its perfect for the rest of the day, and you just tuck away the lace in its own pouch incorporated into the tongue of the boots. I dig these boots, and would recommend them any day.

I’m a street police officer and have used these boots exclusively for years. They support your knees and back better than most boots I have used. They are not waterproof FYI. Here’s the but. Over the last couple years these boots have become very narrow and about 1/2 size too small. I’m not sure if they started manufacturing them somewhere different but because I have flat feet and weigh about 220 the last couple years they have actually been very uncomfortable to wear. I was not going to purchase another pair until I saw they were now offering a wide version. I just bought a pair of 10 1/2 wide and they fit like they should and are comfortable. But in order to have them fit properly I had to buy wide and also 1/2 size up from what I normally buy. Just FYI.
Right after I bought them, I got excited and watched reviews on social media. People talked about the price which was more than what I paid. I went to Amazon and found them nearly $70 cheaper.The shoes themselves are GREAT! The lace system makes going to work so much easier. They’re waterproof yet you can feel air running into your shoes if you’re sitting in a car walking around. The souls don’t need to be replaced. I don’t even know if you can replace them. They are extremely lightweight for what they are. I’m glad I switched from regular tactical boots to these. My ankles feel great. There’s no issues putting the shoe on or standing in them all day.
When searching the site for these boots- as they were recommended- I encountered that instead of having medium and wide option on the boots they only said medium with no option to choose a wide version. So this is the only shoe site on the planet where you actually have to search by putting “wide” in the search line. I placed my order and decided to try a medium as I thought that was the only option available. The boots were too narrow and once again no other site has such stupid rules- I can’t exchange them! I have to place a new order and can’t get the sale price I originally paid for without calling customer service after I place a new order and get the sale price refunded. Who wants to jump through all the hoops just to order a pair of boots?

I have been a big fan of the x ultra 3, bought 3 pairs of them, they were the best. Got x ultra 4, not as comfortable so I bought these. Big mistake. It feels as if I am walking with a rock attached to my foot, the soles are hard as bricks, the insoles give no cushion at all. Also the I like the drawstring lace for convenience but it doesn’t feel as if it holds my ankle tight enough. I run tracking dogs through all types of terrain and after two days of these my feet are killing me. A waste of good money again to this company. I can say I do like the all black coloring and for running through a lot of the tough areas I’ve been they hold up well so the durability is great but them dogs going be barking!!! Ouch!
I bought a pair of XA Forces from a local retailer. I originally bought a size 10 standard width shoe. The left shoe had a seam stitching that runs under the sole that I could feel protruding up and into the blade of my left foot. I thought the shoe might be too narrow so I returned them after a few days. Since the retailer did not carry a size 10 Wide, I purchased the new pair directly from Salomon and had them shipped. I tried them on and felt the same issue on the left shoe. I don’t know if I got both shoes from a bad lot, or if this is a common issue nobody is reporting, but I just chalked it up to a loss. I kept the shoe as a back up boot, but I cannot stand on my feet an entire shift with these shoes without experiencing pain and soreness on the blade of my ... MoreI bought a pair of XA Forces from a local retailer.

I kept the shoe as a back up boot, but I cannot stand on my feet an entire shift with these shoes without experiencing pain and soreness on the blade of my left foot. The traction and dexterity of the shoe is great! But even with infrequent use, the sides of the shoe have turned from black to grey where my feet come into contact with the vehicle floorboard/footwell area. I really wanted to like these shoes, but I was left disappointed.
The one design flaw this boot has is the metal ring that the shoe lace goes through at the top of the shoe. If there is any ware or damage to that metal ring it can shred the shoe lace making it virtually useless. I replaced the laces on my boot three time before just giving up. If you can figure out how to solve that issue this boot is worth it.As you can see in the picture just a little damage or warp to the metal ring can cause damage to the lace. For reference to how long it takes for damage to set in. I bought this boot December 19, 2023 and the damage happened in March 2024.But over all a very good boot that can last a long time if you are not hiking in the middle of the desert everyday like. me.
My foot is exactly 28.4-28.7cm long, size US 11.5 (male) is very good.Slightly tighter toebox than the x ultra forces mid, although the big toe just barely touches the side when splayed out. I'd prefer a touch larger but the overall fit is very acceptable.Same insole as the x ultra forces with mild arch support, I would prefer a plain flat insole. Insole is removable.Shaft is thicker, feels a little insecure, slips slightly up and down while walking.Quicklaces are finicky, they have to be really tightened to keep the shaft secure on heel, but then the tongue presses into the shin pretty hard. Too loose, and the shin is comfortable, but the heel becomes loose. Normal laces would be more versatile in allocating tightness across the foot.Ankle padding is too ... MoreMy foot is exactly 28.4-28.7cm long, size US 11.5 (male) is very good.Slightly tighter toebox than the x ultra forces mid, although the big toe just barely touches the side when splayed out.

Great lateral support.Very durable construction overall.Overall solid shoe but the low version is probably better for everyday use. I much prefer the x ultra forces mid for a mid style shoe/boot. I wish I could take the tongue and sole of the XA and put it on the X ultra forces, that'd be perfect.one shoe weighs 617gshaft is 12-16.5cm tall, measured from bottom of sole
