Customer Reviews Salomon X Ultra 3 Mid GTX

I upgraded to these from the Quest and WOW cant believe how light they are. I loved hiking but being quite slim, I really used to struggle with heavier hiking boots. I have done a lot of training for Kilimanjaro in these - and absolutely love them. No blisters and uber comfy. They are a little bit bigger than my Salomon running shoes - but I normally wear merino wool socks that are thicker so they size is perfect for me.

I absolutely love these boots, and here's why... I do a TON of long trekking and hiking, so these get plenty of testing. 1) I have had issues in the past with the bottoms of my feet hurting after 15+ miles, and these are the comfiest brand I've ever tried... I'm a convert! I also was worried my wide feet would be an issue... and they fit GREAT. 2) I LOVE the lacing simplicity, and that I don't have to loosen them up all the way down just to get them off my feet at the end of a long day. They unlace and slip off so easily. 3) They really are water resistant. I've tried other brands that leave my feet soaking all day just from something like rain. I've tramped through and submerged these in creeks and come out dry still. They also hike through snow and also keep me dry. 4) They are a great in-between season shoe. I have very lightweight breathable boots, and heavy winter hiking boots. These are PERFECT for spring and fall where there could be snow, but I also could have a warm and muddy spring day. 5) I wore them straight from the box on a hike, and have had no issues with rubbing or blisters; I even wore low-cut ankle socks and they didn't rub. The reinforced toe is also a great feature. My only feedback for improvement would be the lace style -- they came undone a little easily and I had to tie them down super tight with double knots. A flatter style lace with texture would hold better than these tough round laces. I will buy Salomon again!

I did not have to break these boots in at all. I hike a lot on the job as a surveyor, and I took a chance and wore them on a 10 hour work day with 10+ miles. Fantastic!

Great boots for day hikes or light hiking. These boots are lightweight and had very good traction on hard dirt with small rocks and debri. They were comfortable out of the box with no break in time!

I have tried TEN pairs of hiking boots this winter to replace my 3 year old Salomons. Apparently the toe box in Salomons has gotten significantly more narrow. It took this wide shoe to fitI have never worn a wide size before. But, happy to finally have found a shoe I can wear, since I DO love the Salomon footbed. The colors aren't my fav, but the fit works.

Bought these to replace a similar pair I bought about 10 years ago. They fit like a glove and are very comfortable. Very happy with my purchase at the moment. I do wish that the top part of the laces went through metal eyelet holes, rather than having to be wound round the top two levels of half style eyelets as this makes it much more difficult to correctly position the tongue and get the boot and laces tight enough and positioned well. This is disappointing as my previous boots were much better functionally in that respect. Also, why are the laces so short?

Comfortable good fit enough support could do with less bulky tongue and an extra lacing eye at the top. My only concern they make a poping noise when I walk!!! Bought them in a hurry last week and am up to 250 Kms so far over mixed trails in the Corrze

I bought these boots at the beginning of Spring and we are now mid-summer. When I first got them I could walk through a puddle with no worries. I noticed at the beginning of Summer that they were no longer as waterproof as they were just a couple of months earlier. I went and bought waterproofing spray and it is back to being waterproof! I just finished hiking in the Tetons and did around 50 miles with these boots in a span of a week. No blisters and great grip. By mile 15 or so, my feet did start to hurt, however, I would imagine one's feet would be sore walking for so long. I love my boots!

I've had these boots for a year now. They took a bit to break in but now they are very comfy. We can hike all day, and while my 54 year old feet still get tired, they don't hurt. No issues it's waterproofing, and we hike in rain, snow, and through water at times.

I bought these for a hiking at MT.FUJI in Japan. This is a great shoe for road running. Very comfortable.
