Salomon Men's X ULTRA 4 WIDE GTX, Deep Lichen Green/Black/Olive Night, 7

OutdoorGearLab

The Salomon X Ultra 4 Gore-Tex hiking shoe is built to chew up even the roughest trails you have your eyes set on. These shoes are made especially for rugged terrain where high-performance ability on various surfaces is required. Built on an AVD-C Chassis, the support offered by these low-top hikers is top-tier, and the combination of SensiFit technology and Quicklace lacing system allows the shoe to conform to your foot. By cinching and uncinching the laces, these shoes are quick to put on and take off, convenient to swiftly shake out any intruding sediment, and easy to manage when getting in and out of a tent. We love how confident our footwork feels thanks to the deep-set lugs on the outsole and what a difference solid waterproofing, thanks to a Gore-Tex membrane, can make to our hiking comfort. For all of these attributes, it is surprising that the X Ultra 4 GTX shoes come in at such a low weight, a measly 1.76 pounds. This new iteration of a well-known and well-regarded classic shaves off nearly a quarter pound per pair. As a bonus, the price tag is moderate compared to the other options available. 
We quite like the convenience of the Quicklace system, although we recognize that it is not everyone's cup of tea. When stowed away in their pouch, they give much less tripping hazard than laces, though we sometimes found ourselves lazily tucking them back into the laces. Over time the tab extending from the ankle of the shoe wears down, and it is a bit annoying to constantly pull it back out once we pull the shoes on. Additionally, the first time we wore these shoes, we noticed that the ankle cuff is slightly higher than on most hikers in our line-up. To reduce ankle rub, we wore thinner socks and then had no further issues. Compared to the top shoes we've tested, though, our testers are convinced that this is the most full-package, low-cut hiker on the market and readily recommend it as the best option available.

Switchback Travel

Salomon’s X Ultra has been one of our favorite hiking shoes for years, offering an exceptional combination of comfort, on-trail performance, and durability for everything from casual day hikes to ambitious overnight missions. Last year, they released an update to the much-loved shoe in the X Ultra 4 here. Beyond its sleeker and more modern look, the X Ultra 4 features a revised lacing system and chassis, along with a roomier fit in the toe box. Importantly, the shoe retains the outgoing version’s fantastic mix of agility, durability, and protection, and there’s enough cushioning underfoot for full days with a loaded pack. Finally, at 1 pound 9 ounces for our men’s size 9, it’s competitively lightweight and nimble.

Prior generations of the X Ultra held our top spot, but we were forced to reconsider after thoroughly testing the most recent version. In short, some of our team are not huge fans of the 4’s fit, which features a narrow midfoot, spacious forefoot, and hard-to-customize quick-pull lacing system. For some, this offers a locked-down feel but perhaps too roomy of a toe box; for others, it’s ideal in the forefoot but too tight at the arch. What’s more, the raised collar around the front of the ankle can be a source of rubbing and discomfort for some users (in this case, it wasn’t a problem for our testers). These differences are enough for us to hesitate in moving the updated shoe any higher on our list, but if you can try it on before you purchase (and it fits), the latest X Ultra is undeniably a high-performance, quality option...

 The only issue that i have with the highness hiking will do, if i go backpacking here in arkansas, is because it can get pretty rocky. This does not have a ton of ankle support and for a lot of people, that's not an issue if i'm not backpacking or carrying a heavy load. It'S really not an issue for me, but i have twisted my ankles too many times to count just in in hiking, and so what i'll do is typically i'll have either an ankle brace that i'll wear with it or i love high-top shoes and i'm going backpacking Big time, but other than that, these these are going to be my go-to hikers. Even if um, i usually have done like the lone peaks for, like the trail running shoes that i've been wearing um, these are kind of a good fit in between, like a good heavy hiking boot versus a trail running shoe, which is much lighter

 This back here make sure that usually, when i get a lot of low tops here, i get a little bit of dirt will get in because of it, but also it prevents rubbing on the back of my achilles a lot um. They they're super like non-stick slip. They they do such a good job at not slipping on stuff. I was like impressively, i guess i'm so impressed with them uh and then another feature that i really didn't test that much at the badlands, where we were able to when we got back was the waterproofing

 They even have when you see here a little place where you can tuck the laces in after you get them pulled tight. They fit so snug and i have a narrow foot and that's usually a big problem that i have with getting shoes like this is because they don't fit snug.

Obviously, if you get your entire foot under water, it's going to seep in here to the top, but anytime you're splashing or going through you getting over your feet

Did THESE Just Become Your FAVORITE Hiking Shoe ..YEP! | Product Review: Salomon X Ultra 4 GTX

 I don't know what the 4s are made of, but they have a horrible smell. I don't usually have smelly feet. My 3s never smelled. My 4s are shoes that I don't want to keep indoors when not on

I have had three pairs of X Ultra 3s before this pair of X Ultra 4s. In numerous ways, the 3s are better than the 4s. First and foremost, the 3s are more comfortable than the 4s. Both start out stiff, but after a month or two, the 3s become flexible and are far more comfortable

 First and foremost, the 3s are more comfortable than the 4s. Both start out stiff, but after a month or two, the 3s become flexible and are far more comfortable. My 4s are 5 months in, and are still stiff and uncomfortable. Also, the higher cuff around the ankle causes abrasions and problems

These shoes suck compared to the X Ultra 3

 Those shoes are comfy, give good support and will stay on your feet very snugly. They are completely waterproof, but also breathable enough, and also the outsole gives a lot of grip and comfort on dry terrain. On the flip side, construction of the outsole, also it's not optimal for wet stones, so keep that in mind. Cost of the profitability is that the durability might be potentially reduced, and that is something to keep in mind

They really keep your feet snug in the place without over tightening

 So can i recommend those shoes? Yes, absolutely they are really comfortable. They really keep your feet snug in the place without over tightening. If you ever had been descending the mountain and had to do heel lock with your laces to protect your toes, then you know how big relief it is to take them off. Those shoes never gave me any problems like that

 I didn't had any issues with that after initial break in which took me one or two trips, they become really really comfortable and i could easily use them every day for anything on first use, the feeling of putting your feet into them was like orthopedic shoes, but That quickly have molded to my feet and since then they are absolutely delightful to use a lot of people, i know, buy the hiking shoes, half or full size up to protect their feet and especially toes on the standing of the mountain. Those shoes are half size up, as i said before, even without over tightening them, they've been really comfortable, not only when i was ascending, but also when i was descending the mountains without getting too much into technicalities, the outsole is made of contact grip ma, which is Technology developed by salomon and i felt safe in those shoes on all kinds of terrain, on doing scrambling and even very, very technical, scrum. Well technical. For me, those shoes were very good: they've been holding to the rocks or sand or wet grass or mood very well

Salomon X Ultra 4 GTX Hiking Shoes Review | Hiking Dad

these are definitely stiff. before i go on these are a very good fit size wise.  first issue as i walk the back of my foot wants to slide up and out as there was zero bend as i took steps. flexing the shoes where the toe naturally bends a bunch has sort of helped but the soles are extremely thick so i dont see doing this without applying extreme pressure by hand basically folding the shoe, happening naturally unless you tie the shoes extremly tight and doing a ton of toe raises

has some major comfort issues

  The shoes are not as wide as my previous pairs and are difficult to put on.  There is no way I could wear a pair of 'boot' socks - I would never get my feet into them!  Once I have my feet in the shoe, they are very comfortable!  I should have sent them back, but it is quite a fuss to do this.

Not quite what I wanted!

Being a wide shoe is an afterthought. This shoe fitment is awful. The bottom construction pokes me right behind midpoint of 1st metatarsal and feels hard on the outside of the foot too. The dust cover adds very slight difficulty to insert foot

Not a EE shoe at all

Great shoe

 It was like there's a part of the shoe that juts into the inside of your foot. Perhaps this shoe would work for a narrower foot, but it did not work for me.
