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.

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!!

Great waterproof hiking shoes
I bought this a month ago and have been on a couple of hikes since. They're very comfortable, have a good grip and are completely waterproof. I was caught in a storm and had to walk through small streams and my feet stayed completely dry. Only minor issue is that some stuff (sand, leaves, etc) can come in as the ankle opening is not very tight (but I guess if it was more tight you would lose comfort). Overall highly recommend

Their Comfy, Sturdy and look amazing
Compared to the Keens, Garmont and other Military boots I've warn- these are the best hiking, trail or everyday wear boot I've ever worn. They look and feel phenomenal and are LIGHT but sturdy. I'll buy another pair in another color. You will not be disappointed

Great, but not perfect
I just finished a 20-mile day hike yesterday, and these did great! I've only had them for a month and maybe put 5 miles on them to break them in, but that proved to be enough. No blisters! Toe box was a little too small at first, but that issue went away after a few days of wear. Haven't had a chance to test the Gore-Tex feature, but I know from prior experience to trust anything Gore-Tex. My only complaint is the black tab on the outside is fairly uncomfortable and hard against the outside middle part of my foot, and there is no way to mitigate this issue since it also serves as a loop for the laces. Would I buy these again? Eeehhhhh, probably not. I think there are better boots here, but I am happy with them.

Poor fitting
Returning item. I don’t have a wide foot by any means but these boots are so narrow in the arches it’s unbearable to wear for more than 5 min. Very disappointed with this purchase.

Avoid
These boots look fantastic but that is the extent of the positives. They are not waterpoof even though they’re Goretex lined, they have a very narrow mid sole which is expected of Salomons, the grip is non existent if you walk on anything other than concrete in the dry and the flex point on the toe box has torn after only 3 months use.

Good and bad
Very happy with the roomy toe box with just the regular width size. Good grippy tread and so far well wearing. Do not like the tongue as it gets pushed out when lacing up. Would be much better if atttached all the way up. Also the top speed lace tie points are directly where the ankle sits and there is no or minimal padding there so an uncomfortable pressure point if boots laced tightly. Shouldn’t have to use corn padding or similar to protect the ankle.

Sturdy and Light
Great boots! Very sturdy but very light. Used them pretty much out of the box on long hiking days over rough terrain in Utah for a week with no issues. Fit was perfect, laces don't slip. Tight enough on the ankle to keep a lot of sand out but didn't feel like they were pinching.

Good shoes but needs a wide option
I like the shoes but they're very narrow when I asked about a wide I was told it was offered in black but would prefer it be offered in all colors.
