Our take on the Salomon Men's X Ultra Pioneer Waterproof Trail Running Shoe

The X Ultra Pioneer is Salomon's mid-priced waterproof hiking shoe, sitting below the X Ultra 4 GTX. It uses a textile upper with a Gore-Tex membrane, a foam midsole and a rubber Contagrip outsole with chevron lugs. Owners like the light weight and grip on packed trails; the fit runs narrow and the lugs are shallow for serious mud. It suits day hikers and fast walkers who want a trail-runner feel rather than a stiff boot.

What reviewers say

Reviewers rate the X Ultra Pioneer as a comfortable, light waterproof shoe for day hikes. The recurring complaints are a narrow fit and lugs too shallow for wet, muddy ground.

What people mention
  • FitCriticisedOwners with wider feet say the shoe pinches across the midfoot and recommend sizing up or choosing a wide model.
  • WaterproofingPraisedWearers report dry feet through rain, wet grass and shallow stream crossings.
  • TractionMixedGrip is solid on rock and packed dirt, but the shallow lugs slip and clog on soft mud.
  • WeightPraisedReviewers note it feels closer to a trail runner than a hiking boot on long days.
  • DurabilityMixedSome owners find the foam midsole flattens and the upper wears at the flex point after a season of heavy use.

Questions and answers

Is the X Ultra Pioneer the same as the X Ultra 4?
No. The Pioneer is the lower-tier model with a simpler upper and less aggressive outsole. The X Ultra 4 has a more protective build and deeper lugs.
Does it really keep water out?
The Gore-Tex version does for rain, puddles and wet grass. It is not a wading shoe, and water can still enter over the collar in deep water.
How does the fit run?
Narrow. Many buyers go up half a size, and wide-footed hikers should look at Salomon's wide version or another model.
Is it good for backpacking with a heavy load?
Not ideal. The foam midsole and shallow lugs suit day hikes and light loads; a stiffer boot gives more support under a heavy pack.
Can I use it for trail running?
Yes, it works for light trail running, but it is heavier and less flexible than a dedicated trail shoe.
Where is the Salomon Men's X Ultra Pioneer Waterproof Trail Running Shoe cheapest?
At GOAT, for $2,652.00, as of our latest check.
