Salomon

X Ultra Alpine GORE-TEX Hiking Shoe - Men's

Well made and pretty comfortable

Familiarity:

I've used it several times

Size Bought:

10.5

These hiking shoes seem to be well made. I have had them for awhile about a month and worn them almost every day. They look like I just pulled them out of the box. They are true to size. However, I did have to modify the insoles a little. For some reason with all the hiking shoes I've tried lately they have a high arch. So I cut a little out and after that they were perfect. My only complaint is the low ankle allows for snow to enter the shoe when your walking through amounts above 2.5 inches. Otherwise they provide great grip in wet or dry conditions on pavement and rocks

Great shoe with goretex

Honestly, first shoe I’ve bought from Salomon and it didn’t disappoint. I bought this shoe for winter and it didn’t disappoint, however, snow wise it’s pretty good (better than expected), slush wise also pretty good the slush doesn’t get inside the shoe and it’s pretty warm, ice wise (by having it used in a ice storm) it’s not the best still does its job but pretty slippery. Overall this shoe is a must for winter maybe the higher version would be even better but this version was pretty good it didn’t disappoint. Also I have wide feet, and they fit great I have room to move my feet and it doesn’t feel tight.

Great looking shoe.......almost perfect.

Familiarity:

I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions

The shoes were a little tight when first putting them on, but since then the size has been pretty good. I wear a 10-10.5 and ordered the 10.5 and they do not run small or too narrow as other reviews has stated, but then again, I do not have wide feet. The insole is very comfortable with every step and feel they have more to them than other Salomons I have worn. I play disc golf a lot and walking through the wet course here in the pacific northwest my feet stay very dry. The shoes grip pretty well on the wet tee pads when throwing the disc and throughout the woods. Did I mention the shoes look great......very attractive. However, there are a couple little discrepancies. The most noticeable is there is a little bit of heel slip like another review has stated so if you tie them up tight and wear thicker socks it may not be a problem. The laces do cinch up tight at first, but when trying to store them away in the pouch on the tongue the release gets triggered easier than they should and loosen up. The shoes are still great......highly recommended.

Great and confortable shoes

always feel a great support from Salomon Hiking shoes great tread for hiking Goretex it's a must when you do long distance some could be tricky hike

Great fit. Reminds of the old x ultras

The shoes are great fit and feel like the x ultras from several years ago. Recent changes disappointed but this is a great shoe

Love my X ULTRA ALPINE GORE-TEX Shoes

Love these shoes. They are very well made and fit perfectly.

Hard wearing

I'm on my third pair of Salomon walking shoes, they are hard wearing and very comfortable which is important to me, I walk bridle paths and footpaths daily.

Haven’t given much usage to the shoe.

Bought them put them on - a tight fit that will pack out some - then left to warmer spaces. Appear to be as good as all the other excellent Salomon shoes I’ve had over the years. Can’t wait to get back and prove myself correct.

stunning look but not perfect for winter condition

i love the look of the shoe , they seem to be durable. but in winter condition , on ice they are very sliperry . anything can be perfect .
