Review Summary
Customer Images
Here's what customers have to say
Here is the refined product review summary: The hiking shoes have a lightweight construction with good grip and a waterproof lining. Many customers find them comfortable and durable for outdoor activities. However, some report issues with the narrow fit, particularly in the toe box and sides, leading to discomfort and blisters. The lacing system can also be difficult to adjust properly. Overall, the shoes seem to provide excellent performance, but the fit may not work well for customers with wider feet.

tight shoe
Been wearing them now for about 3 months. I find them to be a bit narrow for my average foot, they are a snug fit, by the end of the day i am ready to take them off , i might go a 1/2 size larger

Best Shoe Ever
They are extremely good at supporting my feet on concrete all day long as a mechanic. They also help keep my feet dry in the winter. I would defiantly recommend these shoes to anyone. They are the only shoes that help with my back pain as well.

Very comfortable
These shoes fit and look great. Bought these for work because I do a lot of walking, and they are very comfortable.

3rd pair, some good improvements, some not so good
This is my 3rd pair of X Ultra hiking shoes. Built very well, great support for casual walks and hard hikes. My only complaint with the X Ultra 5 is that the toe box is too narrow.

Great shoe
I’ve quite a few of Salomon shoes and the x ultra 5 is my new favorite. I also wear the x ultra 4 and while I like it I feel the 5 is a substantial improvement both in fit and comfort.

Don’t recommend - it damaged my foot
I wore X- ultra 4 but this one hurt my foot and I could hardly walk. Small fingers on the feet get squeezed, I didn’t experience this on X-ultra 4.
