Salomon X Ultra Alpine GTX Hiking Shoes

Conquer the most demanding alpine terrain with the Salomon X Ultra Alpine GTX, a high-performance hiking shoe engineered for stability, protection, and waterproof breathability. Built for serious hikers and backpackers who need reliable traction and support on mixed and technical trails.

Advantages

The X Ultra Alpine GTX combines a robust synthetic/textile upper with a GORE-TEX membrane for guaranteed waterproofing and breathability. The Advanced Chassis provides lateral stability without restricting natural foot movement, while the Contagrip MA outsole with 6.5 mm lugs delivers exceptional grip on loose, wet, and hard surfaces. EnergyCell midsole offers long-lasting cushioning and shock absorption, reducing fatigue on long descents. SensiFit technology cradles the foot for a precise, secure fit, and the protective toecap and mudguard shield against rocks and debris.
