Salomon Ultra X is probably my most favourite shoe. In fact so favourite that I just bought a second pair once the first one wore down, which happened pretty quicly as those aren’t very durable.
Despite a similar name, Mid shares very little with the Salomon Ultra X. Different design of the toe, different lacing system, different sole.
Hiked twice in them, 10-12km, been in deep mud, no issues whatsoever.
I love Salomon. Specifically, I love their X Ultra 4 so much that once I wore a pair down, I just bought a new pair.
And when I decided a need a mid Salomon boots, I at first just thought of buying the mid version of X Ultra 4. But then I decided to try something else.
It didn’t worked out. Got blisters in all the unexpected places. One above my thumb, another just above the ankle joint. And that wasn’t a rough walk, it was literally a walk in the park.
So I’m sending those back.
Next in line are X Ultra 360 now.
