Our take on the Salomon X Ultra 5 Women's Running Shoes

The Salomon X Ultra 5 is a women's low-cut hiking shoe built for fast day hikes and light backpacking. It pairs a mesh and synthetic upper with a foam EVA midsole, a 10 mm drop and a rubber lugged outsole, plus a quick-pull lacing system and an Ortholite insole. At about 11.6 oz per shoe it sits in the middle of the hiking-shoe class: lighter than leather boots, heavier and more protective than trail runners. It suits hikers who want trail-runner pace with hiking-shoe grip; the X Ultra line is known for a snug, slightly narrow fit, so wide-footed hikers should size up or try before buying.

Pros
  • Rubber lugged outsole grips well on dirt, rock and mud
  • Light enough for quick pace at about 11.6 oz per shoe
  • Quick-pull lacing tightens evenly and stays put
  • Ortholite insole and EVA foam midsole cushion the forefoot
  • 10 mm drop feels stable under a light pack
Cons
  • Snug, slightly narrow fit; wide feet may need a size up
  • Mesh upper without Gore-Tex sheds water poorly in wet weather
  • Lugs wear faster than on heavier hiking boots
  • Not stiff enough for heavy loads or long multi-day trips

Questions and answers

Is the X Ultra 5 waterproof?
This version is not Gore-Tex. The mesh and synthetic upper resists light splashes but soaks through in sustained rain. Salomon sells a separate Gore-Tex version of the X Ultra for wet climates.
How does it fit compared with other hiking shoes?
It runs snug and slightly narrow, consistent with the X Ultra line. If you wear wide shoes or thick socks, consider a half size up.
Is it good for backpacking?
For light packs and day hikes, yes. For heavy loads or multi-day trips, a stiffer boot gives more support and protection.
Can I use it for trail running?
It works for light trail running, but the 10 mm drop and hiking-oriented build suit hiking better than daily running.
What is the difference from the X Ultra 4?
The X Ultra 5 keeps the same formula: low weight, lugged rubber outsole and quick lacing, with updated upper materials and cushioning. If you liked the 4, the 5 fits similarly.
Does it come with removable insoles?
Yes, the Ortholite insole is removable, so you can swap in your own footbed if you need more arch support.
