X Ultra 4 GTX Wide Hiking Shoe - Men's

Good fit.

Only had them for couple weeks. The fit is good same as my old X ultras. I don’t like new material it seems like it is going to be hard to break in. The material folds at the bend in toe box and bruises the top of my feet it is getting better with wear. I would not recommend buying these expecting to use them new they will hurt your feet. Would I recommend buying maybe ***

Features suck

I did not realize when I purchased them online that they did not have shoelaces that they were apull to tighten so I gave them the benefit of the doubt and thought they should be all right. Well, I wore them one day and they keep coming loose. I hate them. I wish I didn’t burn the box so I could return them. Why wouldn’t they have shoelaces so you can tie their rugged wear shoe for hiking and they suck

Love em

Comfortable, waterproof and stylish! Use them for all day working, inside and out. Usually 11 to 12 hour days, stopped my knees and feet from hurting all day long. Love them!! Highly recommend!!

These shoes ran narrow in the midfoot.

Familiarity:

I returned this product before using it

Size Bought:

12

I ordered my usual size 12. They were too narrow in the fore foot but the length seemed fine. I ordered a 12 wide fit and they were still too narrow in the fore foot and the strap in the mid foot seemed uncomfortable. They did seem to have a lot of lateral stability though.

Comfortable, lightweight, and great traction

These hiking shoes are comfortable, lightweight, and have great traction. The Gore-Tex membrane means the majority of the shoe’s outer surface is water proof, making it easy to clean after a hike. The one con is that it took around 1 week / 25,000 steps to break in and become comfortable. A crease formed below the big toe of each foot that initially caused slight discomfort when walking, but after a week the crease got softer and there is no longer any discomfort.

Great outdoor shoes

I have been a loyal Salomon customer for many many years. Own multiple types of Salomon shoes from casual to heavy duty boots. Never disappointed, always got the best quality shoes . I bought the X ultra a month ago and so far absolutely satisfied, great multipurpose shoes! I love it!

Second pair of X ULTRA 4 WIDE GORE-TEX in 10.5

The extra tall heal tab is very comfortable and limits vertical travel of the foot within the shoe. Loved my last pair of these shoes, the lacing system is perfect for me, but the very thin laces eventually cut through a lower eyelet - it may need similar reinforcing as the upper eyelets. I was satisfied with the room in the toe box, but the flexibility of this area in the shoe I believe accelerates breakdown of the Gore-Tex upper. Very comfortable on mixed terrain, very easy to adjust/remove, satisfactory waterproofing, but durability leaves something to be desired.

Great shoe with some wear issues

I am now on my fourth pair of x ultra 4 (wide) after trying Hokas and Merrells . The Salimon provides much more stability on uneven ground than the Hokas and is much lighter than the Merrells. Both Hokas and Merrells have their advantages but the x ultra 4 is a better fit for my foot and activity. Downsides? The Salomon’s tread while providing excellent traction, is not as durable as Vibrim soles. The last two pairs have areas on the top (where it flexes at the toes) that are separating but doesn’t seem to affect the waterproof sock lining. So far I haven’t found a better wide shoe for my foot.
