Salomon X Ultra 4 Mid Gore-tex Hiking Boots for Men

11D - Fit to size. I wear them on a farm and they take a beating, but are very durable. They have no visible damage or tears from the daily work grind. They regularly get muddy and clean up easily after drying, with water and a light brush. They are so light I jogged in them to prep for a hiking trip. They fit my feet like comfortable gloves and the traction is very good.. I have no complaints, these are a great value, and I am glad I bought these.

When the box arrived, I thought that it was empty because it was so light. Lightest, most comfortable hiking boots that i have ever worn

Did a Idaho sawtooth mountain back country hike and Grand Canyon and they felt great.

Great boots! My second pair of Salomon's. Very comfortable and require no break in period. If you got a fat foot be sure to order it Wide.

ran small by a half size.

I have owned 3 maybe 4 pairs of these. The first lasted nearly a year before it got to the point where traction was being limited and support was limited. The upper was in very good shape. The second lasted a bit over 6-8 months. The soles just lost their bounce / structure support. I think this was an ok duration because I really wore these a lot. My last pair is about 7 months old. Tread still in nice shape, but the uppers came apart at one of the seams. They are still somewhat functional, but look bad and leak badly. Although Salomon will review replacement claims up to 5 years, I can not get a claim processed because Amazon and the third party seller I bought them from have a MUCH shorter return period. Days not months or year. 3 starts because the product is good. Make sure you buy direct from Salomon or from a third party seller that honors the FULL Salomon warrantee.

Took a little time to break in, especially the arch support. It was quite high and pained for a couple of days though I have normal arches and am not flat footed.After the breaking in, it has become extremely comfortable. My previous pair was also Salomon and had the same lacing system but this pair seems to have laces which work smoother.

I previously purchased a pair of X-Ultra 4 low and was extremely happy with the waterproof ability of the shoes. If I can get reliable waterproof for a year out of a shoe I am satisfied and will contonue to buy this brand. Although these started leaking after 8 months, it was due to my toenail wearing a hole in the waterproof bootie so I can't fault the shoes. Decided to buy the much more expensive mid height shoe of the same model for even more waterproof protection (i.e. higher waterproof booty protection). Unfortunately, before reaching 2 months of use, my small toe began getting sock wet on one shoe. Rest of my sock was dry so water had to penetrate from that side of shoe. I can find no wear in that area that would result in leaking so must be a quality flaw in the waterproof bootie. Now I am hassled with trying to see if Salomon will honor a warrantee claim and probably have to pay to ship the shoes. Depending on Salomon response, I will consider what brand shoe to replace these with.
