A good but not remarkable shoe

Salomon XA Pro Shoe - Kids'

Salomon XA Pro Shoe - Kids'

Rating for this product: 4 July 24, 2009

The shoe is true to size and very light weight. It fit very well so the breaking in period was short and uneventful.
The closing device is a black plastic buckle that has to be pulled up and down the lace. It is a little difficult for our 9-year to do so. With a little help from us it works but it takes a lot of convincing to keep her from slipping the shoes on and off without opening the buckle/lace device which would ruin the snug fit needed for hiking. So some points off for that.
I also had to clean them after a muddy hike and was not able to get the textile parts of the shoe completely back to its light blue color. A muddy undertone stays. So there go another few points. An additional round in the washer did not enhance the result. But the shoe showed no signs of distress by that procedure. So I will not hesitate in the future to wash them when needed.
Overall a good but not remarkable shoe.
