These primarily differ in that they have a rigid plastic arch plate.Objectively, this makes them easier to use for long trail hikes over rocky ground but on the flip side they do take a bit of time to wear in and mold to the foot (the X Utras fit like a glove pretty much from day 1).The sole tread seems similar to the X Utras, in that it's quite soft so they do wear. (the X Ultra 4's look like they've got a longer lasting tread pattern). I reckon I'll get maybe 250-300kms out of them by the time the lugs under the sole are worn pretty low. I'd have liked Salomon to use a slightly harder compound: the uppers are still going strong but the soles are dying.Both mine are GTX and it's a nice to have when it's wet. I don't have any issues using them in the heat. The autolacing system works great and I find them very comfortable, even if you have to tighten them every couple of hours. You have to do that with laces too, so the convienience is great.All in all these are both great trail hiking shoes and light enough to run with for shorter distances. If you are carrying serious weight you may want something with a hardered tread compound as the do wear fairly quickly. The flip side of this is they provide sure footed grip on most surfaces, even in the wet.Recommended, I'd give them 4.6 stars, dropping the 0.4 points because I wish they had a little more durable (longer lasting) soles, but well worth it if you can get them at a discounted price.

5.0 out of 5 stars Comfortable, dry and durable.... Perfect walking shoe for all weathers!

I walk every day.... no really, every day. Having a high energy dog means that I get to brave the weather no matter what it is. These shoes have been put through their paces having owned them now for around 8 months they are still holding up well.Still completely waterproof and very comfortable. I LOVE the quick laces which have also lasted very well.I suspect the rubber soles of the shoes will be the first thing to give way through the extended use.Having gone through lots of shoes previously that either gave me hard skin on my feet, failed the waterproof test after a few months or just perished I decided to buy another pair of these to keep until these need to be replaced.Excellent shoes!

5.0 out of 5 stars Solid walking trainer

I.L. · 26 May 2024

Had similar before. I find Trainers solid and like the toe protection so which is great for hill walking.Trainers are stiff but after two weeks soften up and are now very comfortable. Like the fact they have Gortex as if you are forced to walk through a puddle your socks stay dry. Also like the quick lace system as you can set them so you can slip them on and off quickly but when they are on they are still secure on you feet. Use them to hill walk and walk the dog.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not as good as they were

M.M. · 27 October 2023

If I'd written this review a couple of years back it would have been 5 stars. Fitted like a glove, so comfy, nice and rugged and lasted a few years off general use with a couple of mountain walks thrown into the mix. When my first pair went, I reluctantly spent twice as much on the next pair, I thought it was worth it for a shoe I could rely on. However 11 months later and I'm already having to replace them, yes they were perfect at the start, but durability was lacking. So this brings us to this pair, I was reluctant to buy another pair, but when these came to at a good price and I couldn't find a suitable alternative brand, I paid the money. However I do not know what Salomon have done to their 2023 production, they have changed the insoles, still ortholite, but definitely not as comfy. Unfortunately I think this will be the tipping point for me when I next come to shop for new shoes. It's a shame as I really rated these.

Excellent quality

1.0 out of 5 stars Worst pair of any kind of footwear iv'e ever owned.

G.H. · 6 June 2020

Well built sturdy and look super cool.But without a doubt the most uncomfortable pair of shows iv'e ever had. At first i put it down to not being worn in.But after 2 months and god knows how many miles, iv'e decided to give up trying to wear them in.The toe area is just to small, with not enough give in them to ever be worn in.i'd previously bought a pair of salomon speedcross 4, which i'd had no problem with. infact they're the most comfortable pair of shoes iv'e ever owned. i'd hoped the GTX was an upgraded version of what i'd bought before.God knows where they went wrong with the design? But my pair have never felt like a size 9 to me.i'll be contacting the makers to try and get a refund.Avoid these shoes, total waste of money.

Awesome shoe and great after sales support

Although some Pasting of the sole came off in 20 days. However proactive after sales team did replace prompltly.
