Salomon

X Ultra 4 GTX Hiking Shoe - Women's

Comfy out of the box

Familiarity:

I've put it through the wringer

Size Bought:

10

I've been wearing these for about a month now, and overall I am quite happy with the shoe. They were comfortable right out of the box, and fit true to size. I like the soles, which provide lots of grip when needed. The padded tongue is good, although it does tend to shift to one side. The thing I like the least is the lacing system. I don't like the thin laces with the toggle, as they doesn't stay tightened, and despite the little pocket for storage, the lace end tends to escape. If these came with traditional tie up laces, they'd be perfect. Waterproof quality is good, and I've have no issues with wet feet. Overall, a fantastic shoe; just the lacing system is a bit off-putting for me.

Amazing!

These are absolutely amazing. I wanted a pair of shoes less aggressive than the Crosstrek for hiking, especially during the very rainy seasons we have here in the PNW. Me feet are dry, the shoes are really comfy, definitely heavier than the Crosstrek but you get used to it and within one day you forget about it. Nice cushion and grip and they're also freaking good looking! I usually am a 8.5 for other shoes (in between 8.5/9) and the size 8 is perfect. Easy to tie up and stays in place. Anyways - I could go on for a while. These are great. I can not assess of the durability yet since it's been a week of daily use only, but so far so good. Will report back in a year but most shoes at Salomon have always lasted ages for me.

Very comfortable and nice looking

When I opened these I was surprise at how good looking they were. When I ordered them I thought they were a bit ugly but I liked med the features, especially the lateral support. have bunions and am 5 months out from knee surgery and have had a hard finding shoes that fit. I have sent back several pairs of shoes with the super thick soles because they pinched my bunion or did not have enough arch support. These felt perfect when I first slipped them on. I have been trail walking a mile or 2 a day. These are comfortable, supportive, and have great traction. I would definitely buy them again.

X ULTRA 4 GORE-TEX

As per website I order 1 size down, and they were to small and tight!!! I have sent them back and ordered up 1/2 size and hope that works. Great hikers as always. Just wrong size.

They aren't my favorites anymore

I purchased the X Ultra 4 Gore-Tex shoes in July last year, and overall, I was satisfied with their quality and comfort. They provided a comfortable fit, allowing me to walk a considerable distance of about 150 kilometers. However, I encountered a significant issue: the shoes started to tear on both sides, resulting in them losing their waterproof feature. To my disappointment, I found that many other customers have experienced the same problem with this model, as indicated by various reviews. Considering the price point and the reputation of the Salomon brand, I expected the shoes to maintain their quality and durability.

Sturdy Shoe

I have been looking for a sturdy shoe for a while and now I’ve found one. I walk about 5 miles a day with my dog and this shoe remains comfortable. I like the laces, the weight and the fact it’s gore-Tex. I did switch out in insoles.

Love the attention to detail

I love this shoe for the tread and the gortex. It's the little details like a place to tuck the pull string once tighten I love. Keep up the great work.

Just not right for my foot

I was excited to get these, as I loved my 5 year old pair of Salomons. I’m usually a size 6 that is a European 36 or 36.5. These are a 37+. Interestingly, although they were too long in the foot, the lacing system made them feel comfortably snug on my foot. I have a moderately wide foot with a very high instep and the shoe was comfortable in all those places. The problem was the arch support. I need a good arch support but this one started too far back in the shoe for my foot, so it felt like I was walking on a bump under part of my foot. This could be a “me” thing, I think, though, as I have had the issue before in shoes that were a 36 or 36.5, too. I’m detailing it here in case others might have the same issue! Sadly, I had to return them a week ago. Still waiting for my refund.

Outstanding shoe

These shoes are extremely comfortable and lightweight to wear. I have the quick drying summer version already and these waterproof ones are just as good.
