Salomon XA Pro 3D Ultra 2 GTX Trail Running Shoe - Men's
Not much good to say

These are the worst shoes I've tried. My first pair had the soles wear out in 2 weeks, the replacements lasted 3. Now I'm running on a pair of La Sportiva's that are less expensive but are way better quality. I admit that I'm tough on gear, footwear in particular, but my previous shoes all lasted at least a few months. On the plus side, the lacing system works well and the shoes dry quickly. Overall, a very disappointing shoe.

I really cannot imagine any shoe, even a $20 pair of Walmart hikers, wearing out in 2 or 3 weeks with or without proper care unless they are on some sort of hardcore testing machine in use 24/7. I am sure Salomon would be interested to hear about your experience, have you contacted them? Perhaps you got a couple pairs from a bad production run?
