SALOMON Men's X Ultra 3 Mid Gore-tex Hiking Boots

Product Information

However, even after the most rigorous assessment and testing, there is no better way to be absolutely sure than to have the boots on your feet for an extended period of time. We therefore offer our Home Trial Period which gives you the opportunity to wear the boots around your house to give you an indication of how they feel before you venture outside. We recommend that during the Home Trial Period that you wear the boots for as long as possible and at different times of the day, wear them up and down stairs, when moving around and when resting, you can even sleep in them if you want. I will say, 48 lugs is a pretty large amount of lugs, with mud likely to get caked in between in particularly bad conditions. Weight: 521 g (1 lb 2.4 oz; right); 518 g (1 lb 2.3 oz; left) for size US 12 EE (EUR 46 2/3 or UK 11.5) The Salomon X Ultra 3 GTX has a fantastic midsole, made of dual-density material. One softer foam and harder plastic.

Not among the lightest models but still lighter than other major models without sacrificing on stability or comfort. Changing weather conditions including days when the weather switched from snowy to sunny and from sunny to a downpour You want something similar in performance yet with the regular lacing - then have a look at the Merrell Moab 3 GTX.For when water resistance is not needed we recommend a pair of boots with very similar characteristics and features – the aforementioned Salomon X Ultra 3 Aero. Walking through dew-laden grass in the morning isn’t a problem for these shoes Construction, durability, and protection One of the most valuable features of these boots is the Contagrip TD outsole as it combines a deep, aggressive lug pattern with a durable compound for maximum grip and traction on mixed terrain As I said above, the Advanced Chassis on the X Ultra 3 is excellent for support, but only if it works well with the lacing system.

Waterproof breathable Gore-Tex membrane inside is intended to keep the feet of the wearer dry from the outside and from the inside What’s really amazing is that we’ve been through snow and sun, various altitudes, terrains, and temps including: You should now be able to see approximately 2 cm (about an index fingers width) of the footbed poking out in front of your toes. But let’s not dwell on what you don’t have, instead we shall teach you how to ascertain your size using some common household objects.

Walking in temps above 30°C (86°F) can be a bit uncomfortable mainly because of the waterproof-breathable membrane. Note that we’ve tested these in temps around 35°C (95°F) and there was no problem whatsoever. Still, most people (including ourselves) find that a pair of trail runners or sandals is a much better option for the summer heat than hiking boots. Another good option is the non-waterproof model called Salomon X Ultra 3 Aero. Don’t be surprised if the recommended size for your feet runs narrow. This is what we found out ourselves and what many others realize once they put on the Salomon X Ultra 3 Mid GTX. What’s more, the lovers of shoes with ample toe box might be disappointed – the toe box of the ‘regular’ is narrower and more restrictive than the average width. The toe box of the ‘wide’ is more spacious and fits better for someone with average-width feet.

It’s probably the reason that the X Ultra 3 GTX isn’t as lightweight as other trail shoes, but these have a lot of padding. I’ve not really seen a trail shoe with so much cushioning in it. The Salomon X Ultra 3 Mid GTX have been worn during numerous hiking trips since February 2021 (over the course of almost two years) and we can say that they’re extremely efficient over a variety of terrain and conditions without compromising on comfort. This test will tell you if the shape of the internal heel cup matches your heel to ensure it holds you securely, especially when ascending steep ground. We are trying to eliminate the dreaded heel blister.
