Our take on the Salomon X Ultra 5 Wide GTX Running Shoes

The X Ultra 5 Wide GTX is Salomon's waterproof hiking shoe built for hikers who need extra room across the forefoot. It pairs a Gore-Tex membrane with a mesh and textile upper, an EVA midsole and a rubber outsole with the brand's aggressive lug pattern. The wide fit is the main draw: the standard X Ultra 5 is known as a snug, narrow shoe, so this version suits broad feet and heavier hikers. Against rivals like the Merrell Moab and Hoka Anacapa, it is lighter and more agile on trail but offers less cushioning underfoot.

Best forHikers with wide or high-volume feetDay hikes and fast, light backpackingWet-weather and muddy trailsHikers who want a low, agile shoe rather than a boot
Pros
  • Wide fit across the forefoot, rare in a technical hiking shoe
  • Gore-Tex membrane keeps feet dry in rain and puddles
  • Rubber outsole with deep lugs grips loose dirt and rock
  • Lighter and more flexible than most waterproof hiking boots
  • EVA midsole gives a stable, ground-feel ride
Cons
  • Firm, thin cushioning compared with cushioned rivals like the Hoka Anacapa
  • Gore-Tex runs warm in hot, dry conditions
  • Not enough underfoot protection for very rocky, loaded trips
  • Wide sizing is limited to select sizes in this line

Questions and answers

Is the wide version much wider than the standard X Ultra 5?
Yes. The wide last adds room across the forefoot and midfoot, which is the main reason to pick it. Hikers who found the regular X Ultra snug usually fit this one comfortably.
Does the Gore-Tex lining really keep feet dry?
It handles rain, wet grass and shallow puddles well. In sustained heavy rain or deep water, water can still enter over the ankle collar, as with any low shoe.
How does it compare with the Merrell Moab?
The Salomon is lighter and more agile, with a firmer, more ground-feel ride. The Moab is softer and roomier overall but heavier and less precise on technical trail.
Is it good for backpacking with a heavy pack?
For light packs and day hikes, yes. With a heavy load on rocky ground, the thin cushioning and low cut offer less support than a mid or full boot.
What sizes does the wide fit come in?
The wide version is offered in select US sizes only, so check the size list before ordering. Standard-width sizing is broader.
Do I need to break them in?
Most owners report little to no break-in period. The textile upper softens quickly, though the firm midsole takes a few hikes to feel familiar.
Where is the Salomon X Ultra 5 Wide GTX Running Shoes cheapest?
At Zappos, for $175.00, as of our latest check.
