Salomon X Ultra 5 GTX

The classic X Ultra gets a high-performance face-lift this year with the introduction of highly abrasion-resistant Matryx fabric to its upper. This fabric has an amazing strength-to-weight ratio and enhances breathability and flexibility without sacrificing durability. It makes the update feel much more comfortable than its predecessors while still providing the dependable GORE-TEX waterproof protection and overall stability that has made the shoe such a trail favorite. We love this low-cut weather-protective version but, depending on your preference, it also comes in a mid-height version as well as a non-waterproof low-cut style.

Best Use: Hiking and Backpacking
