Review Summary
Customer Images
Here's what customers have to say
The Salomon X Ultra 5 hiking shoes offer mixed performance. Some users found them comfortable, supportive, and with good traction and waterproofing for hiking. However, many reported issues with the fit, particularly a narrow toe box and tight arch area that caused pain and blisters. Sizing up helped some, but led to other problems. The lacing system and durability also received some negative feedback. The fit and comfort seem to vary significantly, so trying them on is recommended, especially for those with wider feet.

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.

Even better than before
Great new shoes, just as light as the X Ultra 4 but they feel more comfy , with a softer foot bed and softer feel inside too. The side panelling is better too where the foot bends so less likely to crack and split. So all round a better product.

Excellent walking shoe
Bought these to replace my worn out Salomon X Adventures. They are a great fit and even more supportive than my old shoes. I like the quick lacing system and the way the lace can now be hidden. Only regret is that they don’t have the red colour of my old ones available any more.

Comfortable fit and great traction
Great shoe for general use, hiking, and trail running. I love that the draw string completely tucks away.

Noticeably very high quality/comfortable/durable!
Salomon shoes are legitimately the BEST quality out there. They are mega comfortable, and they extremely durable and can take a huge beating over years and last forever. Also - I have bad foot pain, and I have had to use special expensive insoles on literally EVER pair of shoes I have used for the last decade, BUT, with Salomon shoes, it turns out that their insoles and overall foot-support technology in their shoes are such high quality that I can comfortably wear their shoes, with the insoles that they come with already, all day long and during hard exercise, without feeling any foot pain. Thank you Salomon!
