Salomon Women's X Ultra 5 Mid Gore-Tex Hiking Boot

Salomon Women's X Ultra 5 Mid Gore-Tex

The Salomon Women's X Ultra 5 Mid Gore-Tex is a waterproof mid cut hiking boot for women who want confident footing across a wide range of trail conditions without hauling a heavy boot. It's light on the climbs and stable on the descents.

Why We Carry It

The X Ultra is one of the most trusted hikers out there, and the descending grip is the reason we keep it on the wall.

Highlights

• Gore-Tex waterproofing: Dry feet in mud, snowmelt and creek crossings.
• Matryx upper: PU coated leather and textile with Matryx, a woven fabric with Kevlar that resists abrasion and stays light and breathable.
• All-Terrain Contagrip outsole: Salomon's traction compound handles wet, dry, hard and loose ground, especially on descents.
• advancedChassis: A molded insert in the sole adds lateral support while keeping the boot flexible.
• sensiFIT and Active Support: Wraps and holds the foot from midsole to laces for a secure fit.
• Soft, protective cushioning: EnergyCell EVA foam softens impact on long days.

Best For

Women hikers on full day routes across wet, rocky or muddy terrain, from early spring through late fall. A good pick for climbing a Sawatch 14er.
