Salomon GTX

By skyline889 Ranked #1379 - Men's Hiking Boots May 11, 2005

I recently purchased these for a 10 mile hike through medium terrain, mostly mild hills. After about 4 miles my feet were aching. I had blisters the size of half dollars on each foot on the flat area in back of my toes. The high-cut chafed my ankles and the area above them even though I wore mid-cut socks. The boots are also heavy and had me tripping over rocks and roots - this was very unfortunate since I had a 50lb pack on. One good thing was the boots sole went through the hike with hardly any wear. I would only recommend these boots for people who are very used to wearing boots. I would definitely recommend hiking shoes or trails runners for those who like a little more agile feel.
