Every pair of salomon shoes i have had have been very comfortable but had ultimately fell to bits, the adidas are still comfortable yet have a lot more sturdy construction making them last longer.
I've had a pair of those Adidas for 3+ years and love them so much. I've worn the soles down to near smooth and I have one small tear on the outer fabric on one shoe and I have some minor blemishes on them. I just ordered me another pair because I don't want any other shoe for hiking, winter casual shoes, and my daily work shoe in summer as a maintenance technician at a Parks and Rec department. Swift R2 GTX for me.
yea my salomon laces broke in like 1 week .. the little piece that locks it in place broke .. I had to ghetto wire tie it to stay locked .. Not happy at all with $150+ shoe
I love both brands, but the Continental sole is hands-down the best for the trail. Both shoes run a 1/2 size small for me; Solomons are very narrow if you have a wide foot. I have both, but prefer Adidas by a long way for comfort and the are bullet-proof.
Just trying the Solomans now after my first two pairs of terrex. The Addiddas lasted for an extreme amount of miles! No blisters. Let’s hope the solomans compare!
I have them both in black , Salomon ones are for crosstrail and Adidas Terrex are for hiking , different purposes , I used them both for hiking or casual wear , both are great
I have worn out 3 pairs of those Adidas (mids though) and ordered my fourth pair today to get through the winter. I have been working in the Salomon all summer and I love both, but the fit and comfort from Adidas get the nod from me! Again both are great shoes just my preference
Gone through 2 pair of the Adidas Terrex shoes and both had the issue where the shoe laces eventually rips into the toe box area next to the Goretex tab causing a hole where water easily seeps in. I love my Salomons.
I've seen 2 Salomon boots where waterproofing failed due to the quicklace system cutting into the tongue. I owned one and a friend owned the other. Between that and the narrow fit I'm not a fan anymore. They used to be great.
Well done vid. Tks. I wear the Solomon XA Pro non-Gortex (I don't need waterproof in the gym) & love them--most comfortable athletic shoe I've ever worn. Size 10 non GTX weighs 12.1 oz
it would be nice if they do use the same lacing system as the road bike shoes use, which is the round knob to tie/untie so the user do not have that leftover laces on top.
Don't have the Adidas swift but the AX3 which have the same continental sole and I went to pretty steep mountain trails in the Alps 30-40-45° angle (92'000 feet of them in 2020) stood on sloped rocks, climbed snowy paths with them never felt like the sole was giving up on me unless it was iced/snowy unreasonable for all season shoes, the fit is also great (214 miles with them also in 2020) the salomon I previously had on the other hand seemed "hard" and the fit was too small I kept getting blisters with them maybe a larger size (so 2 above my size) would have helped maybe not they felt like a "foot cage" to me while Adidas are a non-event
Ive owned 4 pairs of salamon boots/shoes. Always just order the most expensive pair with the thought that you get what you pay for. Ive never worn a boot/shoe that fits as well as salamon. Thats just my personal experience and thats whybi keep buying them. But... Salamons initial quality is short lived and every pair ive owned has fallen appart faster than my keen and merrell boots. And the shoes dont last as long as my nikes, adidas, under armour... pretty much any other brand lasts longer
i have one pair of Salomon wapta3 and one Adidas ax3gtx with continental sole. Salomon with chevron contra grip sole its a nightmare to walk on wet stones even in the city where is a lot o natural stone pavement its very slippery. With adidas i didint have eny of those problems. Adidas fells more confortable on fet then Salomons for long walks. I keep the pair of salomons just for gym otherwise i probably trow them ...
I have a pair of R2’s for work, and beat the holy horseshit out’ve em. They served me well, but it’s time. I bought a pair of the XA PRO 3D V8 GTX’s because I liked the design of the quick lace system. Then I saw a pair of the R2’s on sale, and bought them, too. 😂 Anyways, I guess I’ll be doin my own comparison on em. Thinking I might start hiking, after the 300 I just spent.
There's really no possible comparasion between Salomon XA Pro 3D and Adidas honestly 😆 We are talking about No1 outdoor brand here. Technologies used in Salomon shoes are way way superiror. XA PRO 3D will fit to your foot way better and support it way better. 3D chasis only is a big advantage 🤷🏼♂️ Lace is way way way better. Overall Salomon lasts longer too. Only thing is that XA PRO is more used for hike than trail run. For trail run I would always recommend Speedcross 5 GTX rather than XA PRO 🤷🏼♂️ I'm not Salomon only fan, I am just speaking from experience after working with them for long time. Anyways good review. And yep you're correct, support is way better in Salomon. I only do not agree on comfort part, after some time XA PRO 3D is way more comfy than at the start and first few days. But comfort comes as personal preference though, you are correct. What can also work is X Ultra which is a bit softer in the heal area for those who do not like "hard" sneakers. XA PRO is also not for those who have wide feet. For wide feet reccomendation goes for XA PRO 3D V8 Wide GTX 🙃 Good content here bro 🤙🍻😎
Solomon shoes have a problem of tearing in the front side of foot, mine opened so much you can see the foot inside, like alot. The problem here is that, newer version got damaged so much quickly and it looked like materials were worse in the newer version so i had to switch back to older shoe, they are great to walk in them and trust me i made thousands MILES on a trail with them But they open up at the front side of foot. Dont know about this one though but because of that reason i would try adidas.
Hello, thanks for the question! Yes, they can be used for that terrain. While I'm no expert, I did hike and run recently in the Smoky Mountains. I hiked a more technical 6 mile trail through and over trees, across small streams, etc. My feet were comfortable and stayed dry!
Bought the Outline gtx from salomon. After a month the sole was completly destroyed... Called them to fix the situation, they said it was normal. Never buying from that company again!
@@superactionguy6000 I definetly wanna try them out! I'm looking for better product. Scarpa and Lasportiva caught my eye too! I'll probably comment again if I get the Adidas!
Hi, I am looking into buying one of these models, I want them for walking in a rainy town and although I like the looks of the adidas more than the salomon's it feels to me that the sole of the adidas could wear away faster than the one of the salomon in that context of streets and asphalt roads. Am I right? Thank you very much.
Hello, and thanks for watching! I wear my Swift's every day, and walk a lot in them, both in rain and on dry pavement. I wish I could attach a photo here but I can't so words will have to work. The sole's looks great still. Not a lot of wear. I attribute that to the ContiTech elastomer formula they are using for the sole. I think it has a high resistance to abrasion. Bottom line, they haven't worn quickly, I've put a lot of miles on them, and they still look new.
Primary color is grey w/black stripes but this particular color isn't available any more it seems. They (Adidas) only seem to have grey and black, all black and a green and black.
The insert measures 5/8" at the thickest location and down to a 1/4" at the thinnest. At the thickest location I measured from the top of the insole down to the bottom, which may not be the actual thickness of the insole at the heel cup.
Hi, cant really comment re asphalt/pavement running, but on the trail the Salos are incredibly grippy,jumping from rock to rock across treats and rivers ,can feel very safe,secure
Hello, not really, but YMMV. There haven't been a lot of warm days this Spring where I'm from. I've worn them in some 80 degree temperatures and thus far my feet feel okay after a long day of wearing/walking.
Salomon XA Pro Kills the Adidas Terrex Swift. I tried on the Swift and it felt like it was made out of hard cardboard and uncomfortable. On the other hand, I tried on the Terrex AX3 and they were so incredibly comfortable and grippy. Only problem was that they are not waterproof. Thanks for the comparison video my brother 👍
@@keef78 got AX3 200+miles with them they are gore-tex that's not waterproof they are fine as long as the water doesn't go above the sides of the shoes if it goes on top some water will come in they work fine on light not deep snow for example but in summer I more than once had water go in because I walked into a too high puddle now you don't get "all" the water but I wouldn't say they are waterproof
I totally understand. I was hesitant as well, but after slogging through the Smoky Mountains after a good soaking rain, then, crossing some small streams and even just working outside around the house, they have done an excellent job of keeping my feet dry.

I have 4 pairs of Ultra Boost from Adidas and 3 pairs of Salomon Xa Pro 3d
Love both, different
Adidas is for street
Salomon better for terrain
Both work great! I ended up with adidas this run though just to give em a try instead of my old Solomons and I’m loving em
The lace on the Salomon cuts into the Fabric at the bottom, which is white under the black material.
They never thought of that.

Continental brand is a German tire manufacturer, good quality rubber.
it would be nice if they do use the same lacing system as the road bike shoes use, which is the round knob to tie/untie so the user do not have that leftover laces on top.
The Salomon has a pocket at the top of the tongue to tuck the end of the laces into.

I personally love Adidas is against water and against sweat, You can also wear these shoes with almost any outfit and it will look great.
Agreed, I've worn them with casual pants (travelers pants if you will) and with jeans. They look classy.

I just bought Adidas Terrex Swift R2.. black. And I like them very much. Salomon from AliExpress were very bad quality.
for rocky and gravel terrain, which one to choose, for fast hiking and running? Do i need different tread for rocky and different one for gravel?
"Without further ado let's dive right into it" "first and for most". If I had a dollar for ever time I hear this in a review I would be a millionaire.
Can adidas terrex be used for trail run and hike in Himalayan terrain. And are they waterproof?

My Adidas Terrex ... failed .... the soles came off !!!! ... Did not use them for hiking or outdoors too often ...
Wow! That is a major bummer. Are they old? If not, you may want to reach out to Adidas to see if they will replace them.
Which one has an orthopedic cross lift?
How’re each of these for wet conditions?
Thanks for the giveaway it's cool thanks man ,👉😉
What’s the size of the shoes
Hey mate, how thick is in the insole on the terrex swift? Thinking about putting in my own insoles and wondering if it'll be too thick
The insert measures 5/8" at the thickest location and down to a 1/4" at the thinnest. At the thickest location I measured from the top of the insole down to the bottom, which may not be the actual thickness of the insole at the heel cup.
Hi, which are better, in your opinion, on wet asphalt and pavements with rain?
I only kept the Adidas shoes so I can't comment on the Salomon's but the Continental rubber sole on the Adidas is great in the rain (great grip).
