Salomon Wings Sky GTX 2 Hiking Boot

For the low weight and bulk of these boots, they offer great support and grip in many different settings. Ive been out on the trail with these guys in many different situations from quick summer dayhikes to all-day postholing in 15 degree weather. They keep you surprisingly dry for their light weight and all. I once had to stand in a shallow (3-4 inches) creek for a few minutes to help others across a log bridge and my feet could just barely start to feel the slightest wetness. For a lightweight trail boot that was impressive.
They break in quick and are very forgiving during the process. I do agree with some other people about the clammyness though. Its not something Ive experienced consistently, but if the conditions are right they can get clammy. Nothing thats a deal breaker for me, but it happens.
Fit is great. They dont jam up on my toes too much on steep descents and the ankle support is perfect. I like my boots as flexible and "natural" feeling as possible so I could understand someone thinking the support is a bit light, but they are a light weight boot so hopefully you arent expecting mountaineering type boots here.
Overall awesome boots that have become my go-to for everything.

Walked/hiked serious mountain and canyon trails with some bushwacking involved. All in and around the Tetons. All day long carrying fly fishing gear and packs into and out of remote areas hopping boulders, stream and river crossings and serious up and down in rocky terrain. Ten hour plus days on many occasions. Still look like new. Muck and water proof but also an accidental knee high river crossing.
The results: Contragrip is awesome, comfort was good and great after the first day, the orange color gets mixed reviews from others but looks a lot better than you would think. The durability has exceeded expectations for such a light weight. I mean I punish these especially on the descents into fishing areas and they are still like new after 40+ hours of use. They dry quick. If you are a person who Salomon fits perfect like me. You can't go wrong with this boot. It has exceeded my expectations. I love 'em!

Used these for 6 days of extremely wet, muddy hiking on the North Coast Trail (Vancouver Island). Held up amazingly....my feet were dry the entire trip, and that's saying something from the amount of mud and slop we went through. They are extremely comfortable (feel like a high-top trail runner) and light, and pared with a solid pair of merino hiking socks (I used Stoic) my feet were blister free the entire trip. Overall, after 1 week-long trek I am very, very pleased with these boots. Oh, and the size fit true for me (usually a 9.5, and that's what I ordered and were a perfect fit).

These are great boots but there are a few things to consider. They are extremely breathable for a gore tex product so winter hiking can be a little cold. The arch support is high and designed to be used for running so light walking can be somewhat irritating on the middle arch and when standing still. The laces seem to keep coming undone also but they are long enough to double the knot. Mine do not have the traction on the pic. much less knotty and more like a sneaker. Keep that in mind for rocky and slippery surfaces.

Great boots for trail runners. But if you're looking for a boot for hiking with any type of load, these wouldn't work (at least for me.) The fit & finish is exceptional (like all Salomon stuff) and the weight makes them perfect for trail runs. But, I was fearful of using them for any hiking where support was critical. I returned these and went with a heavier boot.

Got these for a multi-day back country trip into Rocky Mountain National Park. Very lightweight, felt like trailrunners, but plenty of support for humping my pack up and down trails over various terrains. My feet felt great in 90degree weather, sleet and freezing conditions and had no problems on pine needle covered trails or during an ascent of Longs Peak. Great boots.

Bought these to use for everyday at work and for hunting out west early season and Kansas deer November. Haven't had a chance out west with them yet. But so far around home working and everyday they're great. Light, supportive, comfortable. Have used them on the ski slopes making snow didn't get wet or cold. Definately would buy them again.

Bought these boots true to my size, 11 great fit, have logged 36 miles in them out of the box, carrying a 30lb backpack. Love the lightness, support is fantastic and have repelled water nicely so far. If you are considering a move to a lighter boot and need the ankle support, I would recommend these without hesitation.

I've used these for almost two years now. As good as new. Durable, awesome looking, comfortable. They feel like my running shoes, are light for hiking boots, and great waterproofing GTX. Definite recommend!
