X Ultra Pioneer Mid Climasalomon Waterproof — Men's

This shoe is like a high top running shoe but with better sole. The heel is square, not rounded, so descending dirt, scree or soft snow is secure. I have rock climbed with them up to Yosemite Grade 5.6 although not technically a rock shoe. This is my third pair and they last a good season as I am hiking or climbing about 5 days per week as a professional. The waterproofing allows feet to stay dry when walking through wet/dewy grass. They are also good for running on mountain trails and off-trail terrain. The nylon web lace guides do wear through but the shoes are pretty much used up at that point.

Probably not fit for hardcore use, but my feet feel great even after working on my feet all day long, and using them for light hiking on the weekends as well. They don't last me any incredibly long time. After about a year they start wearing down a bit, but usually it's just the laces tearing and the sole losing some of its cushion. Overall pretty durable. As for weatherproofing and breathability, I wear them year round and they don't get TOO hot and sweaty on the summer, tho YMMV, and in the winter they're warm enough for casual New England hiking etc. Pretty good waterproofing, I walked through a flooded parking lot, maybe 3 inches of water, and came out just fine, even almost a year in on this pair. I think they might be discontinuing these so I'll grab a couple more and hope for the best in the future.

I just replaced my old pair which lasted 3 years. I love how they fit and they are very light. I have had many hiking boots in the past and these are a great combination of sturdy yet not klunky. They fit true to size. The tread is the best, very good gripping on rocks and no mis steps because they fit so well and are not heavy. I hope they keep making these because they are the best fitting and functional boots EVER!

Ordered these hiking shoes for my upcoming elk hunt in Colorado. Arrived quickly and nicely packaged. I typical wear a 14 in tennis shoes and 14 in boots. I took the risk and purchased size 14 Great looking hiking boot. Lined pretty well in the tongue to prevent water coming in. The size 14 fits well. I’ve yet to go on a hike and really test them out but from my experience with hiking boots, these are above par. For the sale price of less than 100, a great deal. Update- After a weekend of testing these boots out, I’m super happy with the purchase. Very comfortable and light weight boot. Ankle support is 5/10 but it’s much better than a regular tennis shoe and less than a bulky and heavy boot. The first trip was coyote hunting and it performed well. The second trip was fishing where I had a to get the boot submerged over a majority of the boot. Feet never got wet. 10/10. My feet do tend to sweat at times during warmer days. These boots must provide some airflow because it occurred less.

If you live in a wet cold climate. These are the shoes for your winter. I get the vented version for summer. These for the winter. 💯 they're the way to go

Just moved to Alaska and needed something for the dirt/ice/snowy terrain and these have been perfect! They are very waterproof and pretty warm, but i did switch out the insole for a warmer fur insole for the winter. However both insoles still make the boot feel like a regular sneaker. The laces are not that great though. I felt like they kept untying so i switched it out with a speed lace to avoid constant retying. Also, I wear size 10 in pretty much every brand except converse and i read reviews to go up half a size for these boots and they fit perfect like every other shoe for my size. so these are the only 10.5s I own.

My 2018 Solomon X ultra from Solomon were one of the best boots I have owned. Because of that positive experience, I replaced them with another pair of X-Ultra. Sadly, the quality of these new boots has gone down in a major way. As you can read in other reviews, once the Chinese company Anta took over Solomon they have destroyed the quality of these boots. The left and right boots don't fit well because they are not equal--the toe box is way smaller in the right boot (not miss sized as the soles are equal). This is poor QA of the assembly process. They have also cheapened other features; the tongue of the boot is smaller and of poor quality, the laces have way too much stretch, and they changed the lace mechanisms so that they don't stay tight. If there was ever a good reason to place a 50% or higher tariff on a foreign company like Anta this is it. We don't need another Chinese company selling poor quality products in the US. Buyer beware.

(I am not a native speaker, please accept my apologies on writing this comment with inaccurate grammar) I bought this pair of boots last summer during a sale and this is my first Salomon boots. At the beginning, I was satisfied with its light weight and waterproof ability that support my fieldwork in Yosemite. I also like the shape of the sole which provide excellent traction on rocky surface and dirt road, it even works on slippery rock after rain. However, these boots seems worn out pretty quickly after 7 months of intense using (probably also due to my fault on maintaining my footwear). The waterproof ability is still there and it is still very comfortable to wear them when I am birding and hiking. In conclusion, if you are looking for boots that could withstand heavy bushwhacking and intense field work, I think there might be a more suitable choices for these purposes. These boots would be great if you are looking for some high quality trail hiking and backpacking boots. Pros - Relatively light weight compared to other hiking boots - Reliable waterproof ability (but need to ensure there is no seams/gaps on sole.) - Very comfortable to wear for long period of time, nice for weekend hiking, backpacking and birding. Cons - The lace is a bit too loose, cannot tighten these around your ankle properly. - The thick padded tongue keep pushing the lace apart which may cause the lace to loose during hiking. You could only use a double knot to keep it tightened. - Not the best for bushwhacking and heavy duty, worn out pretty quick.

Très bonne chaussures de randonnée, confortables

Son muy cómodas resistentes, las traje en un viaje de 24 días, con caminatas de diez kilómetros aproximados diarios y regresaron como nuevas y lo más importante mis pies al cien

Very nice and comfy

La calidad y precio es muy bueno

Buen producto. Impermeables. Excelentes para el senderismo, más cómodas que las caterpillar, pero no tan cómodas como las Timberland. Vamos a ver cuánto duran.
