Another Quality Salomon Product
I've been a long-time buyer of Salomon shoes and decided to step into their boot category recently with this boot. It fits like a comfortable shoe but gets the job done on the trail. It gives good support as well as being water proof. I highly recommend this boot for those weekend trips without a heavy pack.

Very Satisfied
Bought Salomon Fastpackers to replace worn out Asolo hiking boots. Just returned from Colorado, wore the boots right out of the box on a 12 mile hike in RM National Park. Super light and absolutely no break-in required - feet felt fine the next day. Also took up two 14ers -Uncompahgre and Sneffels, boots performed superbly on rock -great traction on smooth rock as expected. Roomy toe box worked well on steep descents. One minor negative: the laces seemed to loosen up on climbs and tended to come untied even with double knot. I am replacing the stock strings. The soles are very flexible, and may not be ideal for heavy backpacking on rocky soil. I am 56, 190 lbs. - probably about 225 lbs. total load on shoes with pack. Summary: Light-weight, comfortable, no break-in required.

Great Light Shoes
They feel great and offer me complete support. They are light and comfortable. I'll be using them this weekend and I'll be walking on them the next few days to break them in, but they don't seem like they need to be broken in...they feel like wearing sneakers.

great shoe
have many salomon trail shoes. this was the first hiking shoe i bought. i took it on a 6 mile hike and like all of the other salomon shoes i have had they fit like a glove and have great support and comfort. the mid shoe is much lighter that the heavy hiking boots that i have used in the past. if you aren't carrying more than 20 lbs. there is no reason not to go with these lighter, faster and more comfortable shoes. salomons rock. you can't go wrong with these shoes.
