Review
The first place to start with the Salomon Comet 3D hiking boots for women is on their look. They look pretty smart and they are specifically designed with a feminine eye in mind. That is their sleek and slender look is not accidental.
Looking at their construction, they are a sturdy boot with a high cut profile that provides good ankle support. Perfect if you like to hike in steeper more challenging terrain.
They utilize EVA midsoles which offer lightweight cushioning to provide all-day comfort.
There is plenty of other cushioning across the comet 3D boots so your feet will be kept comfortable across any challenging terrain or obstacles.
The contra-grip sole delivers plenty of traction and optimal grip on a whole range of surfaces.
There are several color combinations to choose from, so there should be something in there to suit your taste. I think these boots seem like good all rounders so perfect for day hiking or longer trips backpacking.
The Nubuck leather upper holds feet firmly and safely in place which all goes to reducing strain on your toes, particularly important on the downhll. The boot is also reasonably lightweight.
The gusseted tongue ensures any bad debris is kept out and the lacing system on the Comet 3D boots will ensure a snug fit for most foot sizes.
The Comet 3D boots are of course waterproof. Gore-tex waterproof liners ensure your feet can breathe, letting sweat out while keeping the nastier elements from getting in. This of course means the boots have moisture wicking ability to control the internal climate around your feet. Moisture is wicked away from your feet. Always good to have on a pair of hiking boots to help prevent blisters.
The boots have protective rubber toe and heel caps. This is definitely a nice to have to prevent any toe stubbing and provide that extra bit of stability on the trail.
Best Uses
The Salomon Comet 3D GTX are a sturdy pair of hiking boots that will work well for all types of hiking. From short day hikes to longer multi day backpacking trips, the Comet should cover most requirements.
I'm not so sure they would be great for day-to-day use, might be a bit too technical looking for walking about town but I'm sure they'd look OK with a pair of jeans.
