Our take on the Salomon X Ultra 5 GTX Hiking Shoes

The X Ultra 5 GTX is Salomon's fast, light hiking shoe, built for day hikes and quick moves over mixed terrain. It pairs a Gore-Tex waterproof membrane with a grippy rubber outsole, an EVA midsole and a quick-pull lacing system. At about 13.4 oz it is lighter than most leather hiking boots and many cushioned trail shoes, which suits hikers who want speed over support. Reviewers of the X Ultra line praise the fit and grip but note the narrow cut and firm, less cushioned ride on long days.

Questions and answers

Is the X Ultra 5 GTX good for long hikes?
It works best for day hikes and fast, light trips. The firm, low midsole gives less cushioning and ankle support than a mid-cut boot, so some hikers prefer a beefier shoe for multi-day loads.
How does it compare with the X Ultra 4?
The 5 keeps the same light, grippy formula with a Gore-Tex upper and quick lacing. Fit and underfoot feel are close, so the choice comes down to which version fits your foot better.
Does it fit true to size?
Most buyers take their normal size, but the standard width runs snug. If you have wide feet or wear thick socks, the wide width is the safer pick.
Is it really waterproof?
Yes. The Gore-Tex membrane keeps water out in rain, puddles and wet grass. It also traps heat, so the shoe runs warm in summer.
What is the quick lacing system?
A single pull cord tightens the laces evenly, and the lace can be tucked into the tongue pocket. It is fast to adjust on the trail and stays put.
Can I use it for everyday wear?
It works as a wet-weather walking shoe, but the firm sole and hiking outsole are built for trails, not pavement comfort.
