Does the X Ultra 4 Mid GTX run true to size?

No. Salomon says the boot runs large and recommends sizing down for the best fit. Buyers who ignored this often found their usual size too roomy.

Is it fully waterproof?

Yes. A GORE-TEX membrane sits under the mesh upper, so it blocks water while staying breathable. Water can still enter over the top of a mid-cut boot in deep puddles.

How does it compare with the low-cut X Ultra 4 GTX?

The mid version adds a higher collar for more ankle coverage and protection. The low version is lighter and cooler, and both share the same outsole, chassis and lacing.

What is included in the box?

The box contains the pair of boots. Nothing else is listed.

Is it good for backpacking with a heavy pack?

It suits day hikes and light loads best. Cushioning is moderate, and the mid cut gives less support than a stiff backpacking boot for heavy packs.

What terrain is the Contagrip sole made for?

Mixed and wet ground: mud, rock and loose dirt. It is not a crampon-compatible mountaineering sole.
