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

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 .

Terrific shoes

Familiarity:

I've used it several times

Size Bought:

8.5 mens

I wanted a Gore-Tex below-the-ankle shoe that I can use for gentle hikes and also for bike rides. An important feature for me is cable laces rather than tie-up laces. These Solomon shoes met all my needs. They are comfortable and look good. For shoes, I wear either an 8 or an 8.5 depending on the fit. I ordered the 8.5 and it fit well.

Solid, well built shoe for winter conditions

I bought these shoes about a month ago and have been very pleased with them.

Great shoe but v v small fitting

Absolutely love this shoe but had to send it back because it’s very small and narrow sizing - and I mean very small. It’s a pity they don’t state the sizing in the blurb. I love the shoe though, and will order size 10 once the other one has cleared checks.

Comfortable and stylish

Very comfortable and stylish hiking shoe. I have it for about 3 weeks and enjoyed my first hike with it. It was a really comfortable shoe

Great hiking shoe for the right foot

I have 50 miles of hiking on these shoes. They are a well made approach/hiking shoe. I would definitely consider this an approach shoe because it has the stronger toe cap and the sole flex is very stiff. They have broken in over these 50 miles I've put on them on the trails and just day to day wear. Over all the shoe is exactly what I have come to expect from a Salomon hiker. Top notch quality. When it comes to fit, that is where these differ from other hikers I have had in the past. I will state I am a low volume foot (based on alpine touring ski boots and cycling shoes). The foot entry hole on my pair of Ultra Alpine X are larger than Salomon Ultra I have had in the past. And larger than Speedcross as well. Because of the size of the shoe entry and the stiffness of the sole, I got heel slippage, thus got blisters on the inside and outside of both left and right heels on my first 4 mile hike. This is the first time any Salomon had given me blisters straight out of the box. I have worn them with various thickness of socks, and I still have heel slippage. Salomon are my reliable shoes. I was disappointed, but also see what is happening. Ultimately this is a shoe that does not fit my foot well, and I am a low volume foot. I do believe a mid to high volume foot would work in these shoes with no issue. They design, style, and construction are top notch as I would expect from Salomon. I just will be looking for different models that best accommodate a low volume foot.
