X Ultra 4 GTX Wide Hiking Shoe - Men's

Hiii

This is a very nice and high quality shoe with beautiful design,but it is a little loose for me in wide models.

Great traction, well made, Break-in took

Familiarity:

I've used it several times

Size Bought:

12

These hiking shoes have very aggressive soles that provide better traction than most hiking shoes. They are well made, look good and are easy to get on and off. They do not have much (any) cushioning so they may not be the best choice for anyone who plans to use them frequently on pavement. For the first dozen or so hikes these shoes were not comfortable as they pressed on a spot on the high bone on the top of my foot. It is getting better, but these shoes are taking longer to break in than I expected which is why I am only giving 4 stars.

Good but narrow.

I bought a pair instead of my regular police boots for bike patrol. They are rugged, comfortable, and easy on with speed laces. I ordered 10.5 and extra wide. They are a little narrow. Not everyone has skinny feet.

Love the waterproof feature

Bought about a month ago. Very rugged and, thankfully, so far 100% waterproof. I like the light weight combined with durability. I had trouble getting an adequate wide fitting. I take a UK 9.5 but ended up with a UK 10 ultra wide and its perfect.

Painful

I've been getting Salmon soft boots for years. I tried this pair for a simple walk and was unable to walk without pain for a week. They'd pressed the top of the foot something fierce, plus they rubbed my small toe knuckle raw. Dunno why these were different. Going to try the shoe expander in them before I wear them again.

Upgrade from last model

Last longer and more durable. Only thing was, I have a wide foot, and this time it was a big difference in a bad way. But since I always get insoles with new shoes it wasn’t a problem

Hiking shoes

I am not loving the elastic web on the shoe which replaced the tongue of the shoe on my previous ones.Other than that I am happy with the shoe.

Exquisite shoes

My husband has neuropathy and balance issues with his feet. These shoes arrived and they are perfect because they are wide, sturdy and so stylish. Highly recommend.

A step backwards

I had a pair of the Ultra 3s and thought they were an amazingly comfortable shoe. I get the 4s and it is more than a cosmetic change. Nothing wrong with the quality of the product but nowhere near as comfortable to me.

Flawed design

As already mentioned numerous times, these shoes cause significant pain at the base of the big toe as your flex your foot. Each step presses the lacing system into the top of your foot. Should not be sold in this current design!! Avoid at all costs.
