Customer Reviews Salomon X Ultra 4 GTX®

Salomon is having trouble with sizing. So far, 10.5 W fit in one style, 10.5 M was way too long in another style (clown shoes!), and this one is 10.5 W, but is extremely loose, especially in the heel. What is going on with Salomon? I love the ones that fit my feet.

Too small, size up.

Bought these 2 months ago. I love the comfort, grip, and support they have. Also true to their waterproof claim. However, after 2.5 months of use and about 120km of hiking on moderate and technical terrain mainly in the coastal mountains of Whistler, BC, Canada, The stitching on both boots on both sides of each foot, before the toe where most shoes bend has ripped. The rips have ended their waterproof feature and each km since ripping caused further stitches to come loose. This is hopefully a manufacturer defect and I am currently trying to claim warranty. I can't find other reviews with the same issue so overall I'd say it's a great boot but perhaps not as durable as heavier and higher end boots. My issue might be a one off. Great for weight and overall hiking needs but might be worth foregoing light weight for a more durable design if you are an advanced hiker. I will update if Salomon does not cover under warranty. Otherwise an amazing hiking boot!

Like many of the other reviewers, I own the previous version X Ultra 3 GTX, and love them. They lasted me four years and the only reason I can't wear them is the padding isn't what it was and isn't suitable for long distance mileage, but the construction of the shoe is still outstanding. Ordering the same size in the Ultra 4 did not provide for the same fit. The shoe feels narrower just forward of the arch and when taking a step the shoe from the top of the laces bends uncomfortably in one piece, like the shoe is in a two pieces with the back and the top moving separately. I'm sad to return these because my husband and I have had great experiences with previous Salomons.

These are HUGE. I am normally a size 10 in salomon shoes, ordered this pair in a 10, and it's 0.75 inch too long in the toe (and I have long narrow feet!). The width was ok for me, so I reckon these are longer and narrower than people will expect for the listed size. In my case, I would exchange for a smaller size, but they don't have the color I like in that size anymore. I have an old pair of goretex salomon sneakers that I have loved to death, and want to replace, but struggling to find the same fit as that old model.

Nice shoe and I think the appropriate size would work, but painfully narrow and I didn't trust the very thin lacing. The inside had no seams, which was nice; but the fabric was not as smooth as I would like, felt like it could make blisters.

Felt too tight, also fairly stiff. I prefer a more flexible hiking shoe.

I bought a size up and they were still a bit “short” in the toe. they also cut into my ankles despite the low cut.

This shoe has a very wide toe box. When I pulled the lacing the material bunched at the front - confirming it was too wide for me. Unfortunately they had to go back.

I really wanted these to fit but the strap that runs over the top of the foot hit my foot wrong. This made these uncomfortable when walking. Other than that I liked the fit and overall feel of the shoe. Didn’t get to use and I’m sure this would be a great hiker for some people.

I bought 1/2 size smaller from another vendor and those shoes were still too big. I had to watch a video to learn what to with laces once they were tightened. Also, replacing the laces seemed too complicated.

I wish these came in Narrow. They only come in B width and the toe box is way too wide, even when laced up tight. I really want a waterproof hiking shoe and was disappointed these won't work.

Gee, almost! Beautiful shoe but my heal slipped a bit and my inside ankle bone rubbed on the top edge. Had to return. Wish they had worked for me because they are otherwise comfortable and so stylish.
