Grip The grip and stability provided by the X Ultra 3 Wide Gore-Tex Hiking Shoes is formed in the base of the shoe. A non-marking Contragrip outsole has been used to gain added traction and control over varied terrain. The science behind the Contragrip technology uses different strengths and shapes of rubber across the sole, resulting in greater control and flexibility when wearing. This carefully trialled technology gives Salomon 100% certainty that the X Ultra 3 can offer flawless support. Foothold These Salomon hiking shoes are produced with a waterproof coated leather, allowing you to stay dry and comfortable in all weather conditions.
Outstanding hiking shoe, but too hot (gortex lining) for hot weather hiking. They last about 3-years for normal everyday use and about 600-900 hiking miles. They are the best made shoe I have ever worn.
This model has great reviews, but it's being replaced by the Ultra 4, which has lower reviews.
These are rated well. This past winter, I needed a new pair of hiking boots that would work well in snow. I purchased 4 different pairs and ended up keeping these based on value (I paid $165) and fit/feel on foot. They performed great. For reference, the others that I tried: Arc'teryx Acrux TR GTX, Merrell thermo glacier mid, and Asolo Falcon GV.
I have these for backpacking with a 40lbs pack, I prefer my speedcross over these, they are grippy and light.

Nice looking shoes, but after trying this and Adidas Terex free hiking, I went with adidas
I own both, can't say I have a preference. My terex are a couple years old and have held up very well. Salomon are newer so can't comment on durability. Both are very comfortable and a great choice.
And right now REI is offering a $30 card for their $30 co-op membership which seems pretty good. When I signed up in the past they were only offering a $20 card.
Anyone with experience wearing these during a hot hike? Planning one in Arizona this summer.
I have owned my pair for 4 yrs and worn these shoes to hike the trail du mont-blanc, gr20 and other multi day hikes in June/July. They are excellent, but a little on the heavier side (but the weight contributes to their durability). I can't recommend them enough.

I have these and love them but prefer them for cooler, variable temps & rain/snow. They don't breathe well so aren't great for hot weather hiking IMO. They're a little heavy but provide excellent grip & stability when carrying weight.
