The Salomon X Ultra 5 is a low-cut hiking shoe built for fast, light movement on trails. It carries the X Ultra line's reputation for agility: a stable chassis, a grippy Contagrip outsole and a snug SensiFit-style upper that holds the foot on uneven ground. It suits day hikers and fast packers who want trail-runner weight with hiking-shoe protection. Compared with burlier leather boots it gives up some ankle support and long-term durability, but it is quicker and more comfortable out of the box than most of them.
