Love these shoes

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.

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.

Hiking in X Ultra shoes
This is my third pair of x ultra hiking shoes. Comfort and the protection provided by the soles are the main factors in my preference for this shoe.

Solid premium all year hiker
I came from the Ultra 3 after finding them on my quest for the ultimate hiker all round year shoe. Winter, water, rocks, ice, hot, cold. There has been others but over the years the choices kept getting cut back from other companies. Happy to have found the Ultra. Some reviews has mentioned slight changes to the design from the 3 to 4. I did notice such change. Being a hair more narrow feeling but not enough to stretch into and still a nice feeling fit. Sad the 4 didnt have a leather option like the 3. For stretch or longevity. But shouldnt matter besides preference. Testing the shoe compared to my old one for ice traction on ice under worst conditions, fresh melting ice covered in water, and brand new show maybe with a coating making it smoother for a few walks, the 4 only feels slightly less grippy to my 3. Well within justifiable. And falling isnt a risk. Just a little bit less resistence until the larger "teeth" grip something. Still very happy and close to my 3. And the differences might just fill in over time.

What a terrific upgrade
- Familiarity:

As a hiker who's always on the lookout for improvements, I was thrilled with the Salomon X Ultra 4 GTX Hiking Shoe. It's a clear upgrade over previous versions, offering a significant improvement in overall performance. One of the most notable upgrades for me was the enhanced waterproofing. The Gore-Tex membrane kept my feet completely dry throughout my hikes, even in wet and muddy conditions. This is a major step up from previous versions, which sometimes let in moisture during challenging treks. The shoe also impressed me with its stability and traction. The aggressive lugs on the Contagrip outsole provided excellent grip on various terrains, from loose gravel to wet rocks. This confidence-inspiring stability allowed me to focus on enjoying the scenery without worrying about slipping or sliding. Overall, the Salomon X Ultra 4 GTX is a fantastic hiking shoe that incorporates significant upgrades over previous models. It delivers exceptional waterproofing, stability, and traction, making it a great choice for hikers who prioritize performance and comfort on the trails.

Meh...
I don't know why, but this pair I bought kinda sucks compared to the ones I bought last time and they are the exact same shoe! I remember these things being comfortable, but they are not at all anymore They rub against my ankle and after being in them all day my feet were sore and that's not just because they are "new." On the positive they are durable as can be, tough as nails and they are in fact completely waterproof, which is crucial for me. That's why I bought them again, but I have to admit, these things are bugging my feet this time and I am disappointed.
