The Salomon X Ultra 5 GTX is a lightweight hiking shoe built for speed on trails. It pairs a waterproof GORE-TEX membrane with a durable Matryx upper and a grippy Contagrip outsole. A molded chassis adds stability without making the shoe stiff. Compared with burlier boots, it sacrifices some ankle support for agility, and reviewers say it fits true to size and needs little break-in.

Reviewers praise the X Ultra 5 GTX for its out-of-the-box comfort, secure fit, and reliable grip on wet and rocky trails. Some note it runs narrow and that the waterproof membrane reduces breathability in heat.
The Salomon X Ultra 5 GORE-TEX is a lightweight, stable walking and hiking shoe built to stay agile on trails, uphill and downhill. It has a GORE-TEX membrane and a Matryx upper, a textile made with individually coated high-tenacity Kevlar and technical yarn. The upper resists abrasion and is light and breathable.
The outsole is All Terrain Contagrip, made for wet, dry, hard or loose surfaces. An advancedChassis, a molded insert in the outsole, gives lateral support and protection while keeping the shoe mobile and flexible. EnergyCell EVA foam provides shock attenuation.
The quickLACE system tightens with one pull, and the lace pocket stores the lacing away. sensiFIT cradles the foot from the midsole to the laces for a snug fit. Active Support wings hold the foot in place and move with it. The soft textile lining is breathable, and the molded OrthoLite sockliner follows the contours of the foot for cushioning, breathability and durability.
