This is my third pair of X Ultra 5 MID GTX boots. The other two did very well. I have used this new pair on 3 hikes so far and they are just as good as the first 2. Great support and fit plus traction is very good. I hike on the rocky trails of Arizona and the only drawback is the treads get chewed up pretty fast. But, that is true for any boot. These are my main hiking boots and other versions of this boot have gone down to the Grand Canyon and back and hiked many trails in Arizona and Utah with great comfort. I highly recommend these boots for any hiker that prefers the high MID boot, but also requires a lighter weight.

I bought these for my husband, and they turned out to be great hiking shoes. They are comfortable, provide good support, and hold up well on longer walks. He’s very happy with them. I will buy mine soon!

Good quality construction BUT... size runs small and toe box also very narrow, first 3 days of hiking Moab I got blisters on both little toes (and I don't have wide feet). I will say they do have good grip climbing the rocks. Overall not a very comfortable hiking boot and the break in after 30 miles of hiking didn't improve the fit & feel. So my feet will move back to another better fitting brand. My rating 3/10. Bye Bye Salomon.

I am very disappointed with my new boots. They offer little support. In addition the sizing is poor. I have ordered a 13.5 and they aren't any larger than my previous 12.5 Solomon boots and in no way are they a wide fitting .

I've been a fan of Salomon hiking boots for a while now. These ones seem good so far, will update after a few trips if my opinion changes

Love these boots. So glad they came in a wide version... however, they still are a bit snug on sides of feet. I have to keep the laces pretty loose for them to be comfortable.

I'm a Salomon guy for life! 575+ miles on my Ultra 4s got the new 5s for my next 500+ and already ordered my next pair.

Yes, this is my second pair of Solomon boots, they are perfect for the great outdoors. Please keep the quality of the materials and the work man ship high. Do not cheapen the brand.

Bought a couple Previous pairs men’s and women’s and they held up great. New pair leaks water in light wet hiking and creates hot spots on my feet. Contacted Salomon and they responded I’m outside of warranty. They have only been worn maybe 4.5 5-7 mile hiking trips. Purchased December of 2023.

I’ve owned all previous versions of this boot and loved them for their fit and comfort. This boot falls short of its previous models. This version feels cheaply made and spongy, is not as comfortable or firm fitting and squeaks while I walk. Disappointing

I have been buying your brand of shoes for a couple years now and absolutely love them. This last purchase not as pleased. The comfortability is not quite there and there’s some loose material at the toe of my shoe. All the other ones that I have purchased, I have loved. I stopped buying Merrill’s. Because I feel their quality was going down. And then found Solomon. And fell in love with them, but not too happy about this purchase.

Great boot. Comfortable and perfect fit using the guide. They do have the “flip flop sound”,I believe from the waterproof lining. Looking forward to using them for a Wyoming hiking and fishing trip.
