Why We Like The X Ultra 3 Hiking Shoe

Sometimes hiking is about getting up, checking the view, and getting back down before the storm hits. When that's the plan, the Salomon X Ultra 3 Hiking Shoe is the shoe we want. At 11 ounces, it won't slow you down, but it doesn't sacrifice comfort, grip, or durability to keep things light.


The Contagrip sole is plenty burly, while the EVA midsole and footbed provide all the cushioning you'll need to handle rough and rocky trails. Salomon's Advanced Chassis serves up plenty of stability and the Sensifit construction and Ortholite liner cradle your foot in a supportive and loving embrace. New for the X Ultra 3, Salomon added its Descent Control technology, which offers added grip and confidence on technical descents.

Wish I'd bought a Second Pair

I've put a TON of miles on these shoes and they're starting to show it. I went to purchase a second pair and was sad to see that they've been discontinued. What I loved about these shoes: Comfortable straight out of the box Quicklaces so I don't have to worry about my shoes coming untied constantly on the trail. Nice grippy tread, so I don't fall while navigating technical terrain. Breathable and not GORE-TEX - because that's the best choice for my hiking climate. I'd not a fan of the shape or style of the X ULTRA 4, so this may be my farewell to Salomon. I really wish I'd bought a second pair.

Support and stability!

Found Salomon brand on a trip to Wales, truly awesome brand. I have flat feet, so with a good orthotic, and can walk, hike and bound around all day. Excellent traction for wet or slippery weather.

Don't last as long as previous models

I bought my x ultra 3's last August and in the last month they've been falling apart everywhere. I am an avid hiker but got at least 300 miles out of my older x ultras. I loved these at first but now I don't know what to get to replace these - I'm Salomon faithful but don't want the same issues again!

Love this shoe for long distances.

I adore this shoe. Unfortunately, Salomon consistently changes their shoes so often that I unable to ever purchase the same shoe twice. This is extremely frustration after several times and I am looking at other brands as a result. Bummer.

Disappointed

I bought this shoe about 6 months ago. Its my 6th pair of the same shoe. Usually I replace mine every year. This shoe runs little tight or narrow for the toes. Cushioning on the heel is also not as same as previous shoes. Shoe has good lacing system compared to before. I would like to hear from Salomon for any solutions to my shoes. I am loyal customer for long time. I would like to know if there was a major design change for this particular shoe.

My go to hiking shoe

I've put hundreds of miles on my 3 pairs of these shoes and just purchased my fourth. They have kept me on firm footing hiking alpine cascades to up and over passes in the alps and fine for soft forest trails as well. My feet feel so grounded and steady in these shoes. I love them.

Great fit

I bought these about a month ago and they are very comfortable and I love the no-tie laces. I have a wide toe and narrow in-step and shoe fits perfectly. I've had a previous model that were great for hiking. I can't wear hiking boots as I've never found a pair that doesn't rub my ankle bones. These shoes are great and have good support and traction.

Perfect Summer Hiking Shoe

I am a huge Salomon shoe fan, and these X Ultra 3 Hiking Shoes don't disappoint. They are light weight and perfect for summer hiking trips. As someone with very high arches I find them comfortable and supportive. They are also breathable and have decent traction on rocky terrain

Runs Large

The shoe size runs large. Because it?s snug around the ankle, you don?t realize it until after you?ve worn it and can no longer return.
