Our take on the Salomon X Ultra 5 GTX M

The X Ultra 5 GTX is Salomon's waterproof men's hiking shoe, built for fast day hikes and light backpacking. It pairs a Gore-Tex membrane with a quick-pull lace system, an 11 mm drop and a 13.4 oz weight, so it feels more like a trail runner than a boot. Reviewers rate the grip and out-of-box comfort, but some find the fit narrow and the sole stiff on pavement. It competes with the Merrell Moab and Hoka Anacapa, trading cushioning for agility and a more precise fit.

Best forDay hikers who move fast on mixed terrainWet-weather walks and muddy trailsLight overnight trips with a small packHikers who prefer a shoe over a boot

Pros

Questions and answers

Is the X Ultra 5 GTX good for wide feet?: It comes in normal and wide widths. The wide version helps, but the shoe still runs fairly narrow through the midfoot, so try it on before a long hike.
How does it compare with the X Ultra 4 GTX?: The 5 keeps the same light, grippy formula with a revised upper and lacing. It feels similar underfoot, so upgrade only if you want the newer fit and materials.
Is it waterproof enough for rain?: Yes. The Gore-Tex membrane keeps water out in rain and wet grass. Water can still enter over the collar in deep puddles.
Can I use it for backpacking?: It suits light overnight trips with a small pack. For heavy loads or rough ground, a stiffer boot gives more support.
Does it need breaking in?: Most owners wear it comfortably on the first hike. Give yourself one short walk to check the fit before a long day.
What drop and weight does it have?: It has an 11 mm heel-to-toe drop and weighs about 13.4 oz per shoe.
Where is the Salomon X Ultra 5 GTX M cheapest?: At Backcountry, for $174.95, as of our latest check.
Where can I buy the Salomon X Ultra 5 GTX M?: 6 stores we checked sell it, including Backcountry, Zappos, Salomon, Scheels, GOAT.
