firm, solid, good pair of shoes
1 month ago
I bought some 'zero rise' shoes that were great, comfortable, and spacious but I ended up with plantar faciitis. I bought these and though I would not call them 'spacious' or 'comfortable', when hiking up to 14 miles in them, they did not aggravate my PF. They seemed alittle slippy on wet smooth surfaces like tiles but when out in nature I felt very firm footed. When trying them on the firmness was a slight turn off but I could tell they did not aggravate the PF so I stuck with them. I also like that to tighten or loosen you just pull or push on the latch. You dont have to undo and redo them. I wish I had bought these first.

Comfortable, well-made hiking shoe

Great support, very comfortable shoe with excellent traction outdoors. Not quite as breathable as I'd like but still wearable all day long. Highly recommend.

Once again, Salomon has proven why they are my go-to brand for hiking shoes. After trying numerous other brands over the years, I always find myself coming back to the unparalleled comfort, durability, and performance that Salomon delivers. The X ULTRA 5 is no exception – in fact, it might just be their best yet!
From the moment I slipped my feet into these shoes, I could feel the superior craftsmanship. The fit is snug and supportive without being restrictive, cradling my feet perfectly. The lacing system is fantastic, allowing for precise adjustments to ensure a secure and comfortable feel, even on varied terrain.
What truly sets the X ULTRA 5 apart is its performance on the trail. The grip is exceptional, providing confidence-inspiring traction on everything from muddy paths to rocky ascents. I felt surefooted and stable, allowing me to focus on enjoying the hike rather than worrying about slipping. The cushioning strikes the perfect balance – it's responsive enough to provide energy return, yet offers ample protection from rocks and uneven surfaces. My feet felt fresh and comfortable even after long days on the trail.
Durability is another hallmark of Salomon footwear, and the X ULTRA 5 feels incredibly well-built. The materials are robust and show no signs of wear and tear even after several challenging hikes. I have no doubt these shoes will be a reliable companion for many adventures to come.
If you're looking for a hiking shoe that offers exceptional comfort, outstanding performance, and long-lasting durability, look no further than the Salomon X ULTRA 5. For me, and clearly for many others, Salomon continues to set the standard in hiking footwear. It's not just a shoe; it's a trusted piece of gear that enhances every outdoor experience. Highly, highly recommended!
