Why We Like The X Ultra 4 Mid GTX Hiking Shoe
The X Ultra 4 Mid Shoe ensures we get all the stable support we expect out of mid-height hikers, except Salomon designed it with a bit more agility than we expected. We like that Salomon's new Advanced Chassis protects sensitive articulations without inhibiting freedom of movement.

Great light weight yet rugged hiker

Needed a light weight but still rugged boot for travel. The X Ultra fits the bill perfectly and exceded expectations. Very light weight, remarkably comfortable, yet still a lot of support and confidence. I’ve had trouble with getting a good fit in boots, but Salomon works great for me and these complement my Salomon Quest high boots very well for shorter hikes and not tackling boulder fields or bushwhacks where the Quests excel.

Lightweight

I've only gotten a handful of miles so far on level terrain but really like the boots. Out of the box, they feel very light and feel solid. The fit may be on the large size but I tried a few different pairs of hiking socks and fit worked well. I may have considered going down a half size but the boot fits tighter around the arch area than the heel and toe box. That snugness has decreased as they break in and think it will be fine in the long term. I've got standard width feet so be aware if you tend to be on the wider side. I'm finding the break-in to take longer than I expect so I deducted a start. The body of the foot is breaking in nicely but the area around the ankle remains stiffer then the rest. I added a popular aftermarket sole insert that is more comfortable the the one they came with. I think the OEM would work but I've got bad feet and started out with a thicker insert. I'll keep the original as a standby. Based on use to date, I really like the boot and think it'll be great after getting them broken in. I only do light hiking these days and the light weight and solid support will be perfect.

Early Season Grouse Hunting User

I hunt grouse in mid September in northern Minnesota. temperature ranges from 38 to 50 in the morning. Ground is usually damp as we’re walking through the woods. I needed a lightweight Waterproof hiking boot With a soft footpad, but good support. The boot is comfortable to wear with a flexible soul. The padded tongue takes away any feel of the laces. The footbed is nice, but could use a little bit more padding for my taste. laces are good quality and stay tied, although I double time my laces And my foot remain dried after walking 4 to 6 hours through damp woods. The boot is lightweight has good traction, and I found it comfortable to wear.

Fell apart after a few uses
- Familiarity:
- I've used it several times
I would not recommend this boot. After a few light uses the metal lace holders broke off on both boots and now the boots will not lace up correctly. Poorly made. I have been trying for several weeks to have them replaced by Backcountry which they agreed too, but that still hasn’t happened yet as their warranty process takes weeks between responses. Not a great experience with Backcountry or Salomon.

Blister nightmare
- Familiarity:
- I've put it through the wringer
I wanted to like these shoes, they were comfortable on the first few hikes but after taking them through the HST, I never experienced such uncomfortability. They gave me ankle issues, then I got blisters! I've worn hokas and la sportive in previous hiking trip with no problems with the exception of outter materials getting damaged.

What an awesome shoe/boot. Fits like a foot glove. I like the way it wraps securely around the foot. Water proof, grips the ground, light, and super comfortable. Oh wait... They look good too. Especially on me!!

Disappointing
- Familiarity:
- I've put it through the wringer
These seem to run a tad narrow or my right has gotten wider as these are the first boots I've struggled with width. Anything longer than a 3 mile hike would cause increasing discomfort, so I only wore them on shorter hikes. I can understand sizing issues as each person's foot is different, but after less than six months using these for only shorter hikes, lugs have come off and I've worn through the sole in those spots. What's happened to Salomon quality?
