Customer Reviews Salomon X Ultra 4 GTX®

I'm normally a boot person but have been shoe-curious for a while. Upon receiving them in the mail, first I was excited to see the beautiful blush color in person, then I was stoked to feel my foot slide right into comfort. I started using them on short and flat trails, then on my neighborhood walks, and now I just wear them pretty much everywhere because they are easy to slip on, look stylish, and provide me comfort and support I can enjoy daily :) Giving it 4 stars because it's my first shoe so I don't have a comparison point, but also because it took about twi 1mi walks to break them in.

Bought these as a replacement for my previous pair of Gore-Tex Ultra 4s where the welts came adrift from the uppers after approximately 7 months of general walking use. My new, supposedly improved X Ultra 4 Gore-Tex shoes arrived promptly. The look and feel of the shoe is cheap. The padding around the collar//heel area is thin, feels cheap and I think will flatten to nothing after only a couple of wears. The stitched tongue is too short for the shoe to be comfortable, and the tongue in my right shoe moved over so far to the right that I had to cut my walk short because it was so uncomfortable despite stopping twice to straighten it. I shall be contacting Salomon re returning this pair. Not a good shoe. The pictures show the short tongues on both shoes and the way the tongue has shifted as far as possible on the right shoe. I feel that Salomon should have resolved production quality issues for the previous Ultra 4 before trying to 'improve' the shoe - which it hasn't.

I purchased two weeks ago, did a 32 mile walk, the membrane started to split, the grip was poor, i felt every rock underfoot. The pull lace is fraying. Would not recomend.

A good shoe, loved it but it didn't fit one foot.

I love these shoes! Super supportive and comfortable for hiking over any terrain. Waterproof, too!

Once I put these on, I didn't want to take them off. Great all day support for hiking 4Ks or concrete sidewalks. A roomy toe box is perfect for those bothered by bunions or neuromas. True arch support and quick laces.

Nice footwear. I dind't get any blisters with it. But the goretex is really weak. 1h hiking in rain and they are leaking. But i am unsure if this is also widefit because the model i get from Europe was labled on the shoe as widefit and they arent labeld.

Comfortable from the first wear. Warm and dry in wet weather. Just one small issue - have to hang onto shoe tongue when putting on shoe, or it pushes in with foot.

Very cool and very nice. The best shoes I ever purchase.

Superior comfort and stability and good looking too. No break in time. Love them!

Bought these hiking shoes before traveling to a National Park. Without even breaking them in, they were very comfortable and provided good support. On all the uneven terrain, these shoes offered excellent gripping capability. They were surely a worthwhile purchase.

Comfortable out of the box. Love the easy lacing - adjusts in a second. Sturdy but not too heavy. Love these hiking shoes!

I recently took my new Salomon X ULTRA 4 GORE-TEX hiking shoes on a 10-hour hike, and they were fantastic! The fit was perfect for my size 6.5 US feet, offering great support and comfort throughout the entire trek. Despite the challenging terrain and a few unexpected water crossings, my feet stayed completely dry thanks to the excellent waterproofing. The shoes provided superb grip and stability, which made navigating rocky and uneven paths a breeze. Overall, I couldn't be happier with these hiking shoesthey're comfortable, waterproof, and performed exceptionally well during my long hike. Highly recommended!

Wore this good looking trail shoe around the house for awhile with and without orthotics. The shoe is made well, , but the arch on my left foot never felt right. I returned the shoes.

I was initiinally surprised by the color( I thought they we're going to be grey

These were great right out of the box. I found my new favorite hiking shoe!

I purchased the Salomon X Ultra 4 Wide Gore-Tex shoes in a size 7.5 to wear on our vacation in Maine for general hiking and one mountain hike. I couldn't find a wide waterproof shoe locally, so based on the reviews I took a chance and ordered these. I'm so glad I did. Maine had two late storms and Mount Chase was blanked in deep snow up to 18" deep! It was warm and sunny, so the snow was melting underneath and my new Salomon's sloshed through, often breaking through to the mud or melted snow below. The dirty girl gaiters kept chunks of snow out, so my feet only got a little wet when they were briefly submerged in water. Pair that with a pair of darn tough socks, and you've got a winning combination. How is the Width?: I cut a bright orange piece of paper to match the widest part of the shoe and it measured 3.5". With the paper under my foot viewed from above, it isn't visible at all unless I lean slightly left or right. These shoes are the perfect width for me. I hope that helps you decide if these are the right width for you. Comfort? I had more room in the shoes than I have with any others, so at first, I wondered if my feet would slide a bit and perhaps cause blisters. I was on my feet for over 9 hours that first day and my feet did not hurt at all! They were very comfortable. Laces? I appreciated this style of laces because they don't come untied. Sole? There were some steep places on Mount Chase where I had to kick the snow with my toe to get a grip and climb higher. These shoes performed beautifully for this mid-50's Florida native who had no idea she would appreciate the grippy outsole so much! I have never written such a detailed review, but I appreciate the design of these shoes so much and wanted to share. I highly recommend them!

I bought this a few weeks ago and wear it primarily for extended trail walks with my dog. The shoes give excellent stability, grip, and are comfortable, albeit they may be a little stiff for the first couple uses. The rapid lace system is very convenient and they look great. I have narrow feet, wear EU 39 in regular shoes, and ordered US8/EUR40 because I prefer a little extra toe room in runners. They fit me perfectly.

These are pretty, comfortable and sturdy. I will buy another pair next spring. I have the all grey pair too(without the coral).
