Review Summary
Customer Images
Here's what customers have to say
The hiking shoes have a mixed reception, with some customers praising the comfort, support, and durability, especially for outdoor activities, while others report issues with the fit, finding the toe box and sides too narrow. The shoes seem to work well for customers with narrow feet, but those with wider feet may need to size up or look for a different model. The consensus is that the shoes are good for hiking, but the fit and comfort can vary depending on the individual's foot shape.

tight shoe
Been wearing them now for about 3 months. I find them to be a bit narrow for my average foot, they are a snug fit, by the end of the day i am ready to take them off , i might go a 1/2 size larger

Best Shoe Ever
They are extremely good at supporting my feet on concrete all day long as a mechanic. They also help keep my feet dry in the winter. I would defiantly recommend these shoes to anyone. They are the only shoes that help with my back pain as well.

Very comfortable
These shoes fit and look great. Bought these for work because I do a lot of walking, and they are very comfortable.

3rd pair, some good improvements, some not so good
This is my 3rd pair of X Ultra hiking shoes. Built very well, great support for casual walks and hard hikes. My only complaint with the X Ultra 5 is that the toe box is too narrow.

Great shoe
I’ve quite a few of Salomon shoes and the x ultra 5 is my new favorite. I also wear the x ultra 4 and while I like it I feel the 5 is a substantial improvement both in fit and comfort.

Don’t recommend - it damaged my foot
I wore X- ultra 4 but this one hurt my foot and I could hardly walk. Small fingers on the feet get squeezed, I didn’t experience this on X-ultra 4.

Painful to Wear
This is my second pair of shoes purchased from LLB. The first pair were advertised as waterproof. They were not. These Solomon's were ordered for the Gore- Tex waterproofing. Did not have a chance to test them for that because they were too painful to wear. The upper arch and tongue could not be adjusted enough to relieve the pain by loosening the speed laces, which I also do not like. Will be returning these also.
