X Ultra 4 GTX Hiking Shoe - Men's

Great shoe except for 2 problems

I have bought two pair of these shoes. What I like: great comfort and stability when hiking. Also the goretex seems to last longer than the ultra 3. What I don’t like: the floating tongue make the shoe difficult to put on. Also the Achilles heal protector is too long and is not made out of durable material so I ended up with a hole in both feet. I hope the x ultra 5 fixes these two problems.

Lite hiking

Used for lite hiking trail and on vacation for city exploring 15 to 25km per day Great ankle support Would need thicker soles for more difficult trails or carrying a backpack

Wore them today for the first time around our property and while in Buena Vista, CO. These are great shoes. Not heavy. Fit well. Very stable. Love the quick lace system which saves me having to replace my laces with a system that doesn't loosen/tighten as well as these do. I'll be getting another pair.

Hello

Very nice shoes withe a beautiful design and reliable.

X Ultra 4 GTX, comfortable when dry

I’ve worn these over a dozen times since buying them last month. Overall quite pleased; they are a good fit and comfortable. However, one of the reasons I chose these is their waterproof spec. Half an hour into my 3mile morning walk in persistent rain I could feel my feet getting wet. The uppers are made of Goretex yet they succumbed to heavy rain in 30mins.

Great shoes

I'm hard on shoes. For a pair of shoes to last me a year is impressive. Plus they are comfortable to boot.

No shoelaces - fantastic

No shoelaces - fantastic My dexterity is limited & this is great

Just a tough durable and comfortable shoe.

This is my 3rd pair of these (3colours) and they never disappoint

More money for less quality

I had better luck with the older models of this shoe. The latter iterations of this shoe just doesn't hold up. It's alot of money for a so-so nothing special pair of shoes. I'm actually back to wearing the Brooks beast for walking. I bought a heavier walking shoe for tougher terrain but I probably haven't worn them enough to plug them either way. XULTRA still a comfortable shoe but newer models just doesn't hold up.

Perfect shoe

This is one of the best shoes I've ever put on. It's comfortable, light and feels great. I've bought this and Spreedcross 6's recently and I'll forever were Salomons from now on.
