Customer Reviews Salomon X Ultra 4 Mid GTX®

I bought this a months ago and I happy with them but the only think the I don't like it is that the boot is kind a tide because i have a wide food, .

I originally bought a size 8.5 Wide (my typical shoes size being 8.5W or 9W) and had to return it because the shoe felt quite a bit longer than any 8.5 I've ever tried on. I returned it for an 8W which I think will work but it's still a tiny bit too long. Aside from running large, these shoes feel comfortable and stable.

I bought these boots as I needed a sturdy pair of hiking boots with good ankle support. They are very comfortable and had good grip on wet rocks and roots. Highly recommend them. I normally wear a 6 but went half a size down and that seemed to work for thicker hiking socks.

Definitely buy a full size down than normal. I was concerned over sizing based on comments and originally bought only a half size down which I had to return to get a full size down. I've always been the same size in Solomon boots so was a bit unexpected. Once I got them I liked them but they definitely don't have the same padding as previous and aren't as out of the box comfortable - need some breaking in. Food rd is stiffer and wider so hard to righted properly across the footbed for my narrow feet. Other than that they performed really great in some challenging terrain and long steep hikes.

I wear a smaller size than most and had heck of a time getting my size. I settled with the light gray option, but was hoping for blue that was not in my size. My medial malleoli gets pressure from the tongue but if I untuck it a bit, it's fine. The farthest hike so far was 4 miles and seemed fine. I wish there were more color options in smaller women's sizes. The light color shoes dirt too easily. Overall they'll do the trick.

This is the second pair that I have purchased. They are very comfortable and keep my feet dry. I wouldn't use them for long hiking trips as they are a little too soft and don't offer as much support as I would like. It would be great if Solomon made an all leather version of this shoe.

I love that these are wide, but I wish there was a higher version.

Boot is comfortable and lightweight. I wore it in warm weather with a thin sock and my feet were not hot. Only complaint this far is the shoe laces. Have to double knot them and even then they sometimes come untied. The laces are round instead of flat. Keeping the shoes just gonna change out the laces.

I am a professional dog walker in a mountain town. I put between 25-50km's / week on my hikers. I have ordered so many different brands, tried them on and sent them right back. These felt amazing right out of the box and required no breaking in. They are nice and light and have a roomy toe box. The waterproofing (goretex) isn't amazing so I took one star off for that. The laces are round so constantly come loose even when double knotted. That's an easy enough fix however. I will purchase another pair of these for sure. Oh, make sure to order a full size down as it says on the webpage.

I purchased the size that I normally wear and the length is perfect. My only concern is that the toe box is quite high and I feel as if the boot is too large. I am wearing heavier weight socks and my foot feels more secure now. My foot is average width but with a lighter weight sock it feels too loose. They are extremely comfortable right out of the box, would recommend.

Just got these in the mail. They seem super durable with fantastic grip on the tread. They say standard width, but are pretty narrow compared to my old standard width boots. Hoping once they're broken in I won't feel them digging into my arch as much. I have had to lace them super loose to compensate

Grips on soles are fabulous, padding in all the right places, recommend double knotting as the laces are round, so undo themselves, not good for ankle support though as I can still circle my foot when their on.

Boots fit and feel great - they also look good too. I am an average size UK 6 and recalling what some of the other reviews said, I am pleased I did not order a smaller size (5/5.5) otherwise would have been too small.

Boots were easy to break in and were wonderful for majority of the Half Dome hike. Toe box protection and ankle support was absolutely perfect on the hike. But while going up the cables my laces came undone because I nicked my lace off the metal hook at the top. A kind soul tied my shoes who was passing me going the other direction. If it wasn't for him, I think I would have had to nervously scramble up the cables with an untied shoe. I'm tempted to get a hammer and push the metal clasps closed a bit more so this doesn't happen again.

My review is more on the buying experience... the site needs a bit more work. size guide is men's on a womens shoe.... i guess explains some of the below feedback

I took these for a spin last week and love them. They are durable and comfortable! I have pretty narrow feet and they fit perfectly.

I liked the boot except it hurt the side of my right foot and the waterproofing disappeared so I returned them.

The X Ultra Mid was my go-to hiking boot for ages, but these were a disappointment. They feel narrower in the toe box, the materials don't feel as high quality, and the design is unappealing to me. I especially dislike the women's color choices - I wish shoe manufacturers would realize many women like the same bold, bright colors they offer for men - not lighter, softer versions with pastel accents. The insoles still feel nice and cushy like the originals, though. I might have kept them if they'd had more room in the toe box.

I bought The Ladies Salomon Ultra 4 Mid Gore-Tex in a US ladies size 8. I am a true size 8 in all athletic shoes - hiking, running, golfing. The box was labeled US size 8 and Europe 40. European size 40 is a US 9 or 9 1/2. When I contacted customer service they said they could not take them back. I was outside the return time limit. When I contacted the supervisor I got the same response and he said it was a personal problem I had with size!!!

Bought this boot as it is very light for hiking in summer heat/humidity. I loved the snug ankle fit and wider toe box without a sloppy heel fit. Considering using them on my Nepal trip to EBC (with a porter) as there is a lot of stability and toe protection built into the boot. As per other reviews, the sizing is off. I spoke with Salomon customer service and they said to size down a full shoe size for this particular boot which would be correct however I have to return as only a half size down would work much better to allow for foot swelling (I live in a very hot/humid part of the country). Cant wait for the new pair to arrive - my research was right, these will be excellent boots.

The boots are light and look good. I bought half size down according to the reviews and recommendation. It fits well in length, but the middle part of my pinkies are pinched from the top, especially on the left foot. Loosen up the laces helped but didn't completely remove the pressure. I'm not sure if this is part of the break in.
