Product Description
Like a bright flash amidst a starry sky, this mid-height, supportive and extra light boot stands out from the crowd. The Salomon Comet 3D GTX Hiking Boot features a non-marking Contagrip outsole for superior traction and a molded EVA midsole for lightweight cushioning and stability. It also has a protective rubber toe cap for rocky, rough trials. The weather protection on the Comet is unmatched thanks to a waterproof nubuck leather upper with Gore-Tex membrane protection and a waterproof bootie inside. You don't want to be overheated and stuffy, however. This is where the OrthoLite sock liner jumps in to keep the foot cool, dry and provides cushioning, while the EVA foot cup adds even more cushioned support. Hit those extra miles with the 3D Advanced Chassis between the outsole and midsole that gives you more motion control and more push-through protection for better performance, stability and responsiveness. If you are going on a 1-2 day walkabout, this is the high-tech boot you want on your side.

This is my first review on Amazon because this boot is too good to not have any reviews. I wore the Salomon Comet 3D GTX on a couple short walks before hiking a 2,000ft ascent over about 12 miles. They felt great with very little break in. I would say they're ready out of the box. Grip is excellent up loose rock and dirt. I don't even bother aiming for rocks when crossing streams any more and my feet never get wet inside the boot. The only downside is that the boot will be a little warmer than a fully ventilated boot, but the trade off is well worth it to me. I did a 20 mile hike last week with a 3800ft ascent through a few snow fields along the way and the boots felt great. They did well in the snow until the slope became very steep, then I had to make quite an effort to get my footing before taking each step. I guess that's what crampons are for. They're very stable downhill in regular conditions through dirt and rocks. It's obvious that the boots make a huge difference when I see how surefooted I am compared to people with less capable footwear. The boots feels light on my feet for how much support they provide. It's been the perfect hiking boot for day hikes in the mountains. I highly recommend these boots to the recreational hiker. I'm very happy with my purchase and quite satisfied with the quality, performance and look of the boot.

I have a pair of Vasque Bitterroot boots in 10 wide which I love, but being all leather they are a bit too warm for spring/summer hiking, so I started looking at boots with a bit more breathability. Ended up ordering the Vasque Breeze and a pair of these. My feet are a bit wide so I got the Salomons in 10.5 as they do not have a wide size.
I received both pairs of boots a day apart. I could tell these Salomons were just better made than the Vasque (of course they are $60 more, but they seemed well worth the extra money and then some). Both boots fit well, but the higher quality of the Salomons and protective toe covering was too much to pass up. The Vasque Breeze just seemed flimsier. All my research seemed to indicate that Salomon boots were excellently crafted, and getting them verified that. Not that the Vasque Breeze were bad, but just seemed average. The Bitterroot also feels top quality FYI.
So far I have taken these Salomons on one hike. Very comfortable for a first hike. About 70 degree weather in Harriman state park, a nice 6-7 mile hike up and down on rocky terrain and into a cave mine. no issues with temperature and comfort, or grip and ankle support. Can only get better with a little bit of break in but they don't need much to get started. Planning on taking these out quite often this year and will update review after a couple of months.

Las botas son excelentes, usándolas un par de horas fue suficiente para amoldarías. Son muy cómodas. Superaron mi expectativa. El despacho llego a tiempo. Las recomiendo ampliamente.
