![]() To fix the problem, I had to re-adjust the tongue position by tucking down the sides. When I first put the Salomons X Ultra on, the right shoe tongue was pressing uncomfortably into the top of my foot because of the way it folds in on itself due to the gusset. Outdoor Gear Lab praised the speed lacing system saying, “the X Ultra Mid 3 GTX locks the foot into place through a speed lacing system as well as a padded collar.” However, we had a different experience. They have webbing eyelets, except for the last 2 hooks that are spaced far apart from each other and the webbing loops. The Salomon GTX 3s are a high-collar waterproof hiking boot, like the Hoka Sky Kaha and the La Sportiva Nucleo High II GTX. However, they are also available in a wide model ( men’s and women’s). Customer reviewers also found that these shoes fit narrow feet better. I have a narrow foot, so I found the Salomon to fit well. This allowed my toes to spread out when they swelled during and after hiking. These boots felt true to size with extra room in the toe box. The Salomon X Ultra 4 Mid GTX are versatile boots for most hikers tackling most trails in all climates and terrain. For 2023, they’re the only lightweight hiking boot we tested where the weight stayed the same-every other boot model got heavier. In our own testing, we found these lightweight summer hiking boots to have exceptional traction, good breathability, and feel comfortable right out of the box without a break-in period. The 2023 model is just as lightweight as in previous years and this year, has an updated style that we like. ![]() It's the top-selling men's boot at REI and won an Outdoor Gear Lab Editor's Choice. It's the only lightweight Gore-tex hiking boot that received a rating of 5 out of 5 from both Gear Junkie and Run Repeat. The Salomon X Ultra 4 Mid GTX ( men’s and women’s) is our winner for the Best Hiking Boot overall for hikers of all skill levels and foot shapes. ![]() What we didn’t like: runs narrow, available in wide sizing but can be hard to find What we liked: breathability, waterproofing, exceptional traction, incredible comfort right out of the box, no break-in needed Waterproofing/Sole: Gore-Tex Contragrip TD Vibram® Nano sole with Impact Brake System™ ![]()
