My Favourite Backpacking Footwear | Salomon X Ultra Trek GTX Boots.

The Salomon X Ultra Trek GTX Hiking Boot.

My thoughts so far after having owned several pairs over the last few years. Very comfortable, waterproof and fits to your feet like a glove. These will be my selection for my upcoming backpacking trip of the Cape Wrath Trail.

The Goretex vents breath well to allow sweat to escape and the pattern of the sole and the flex still gives me good enough grip better than some other boots I have used. However they can still be a bit iffy on very steep, wet ground or wet / slimy rocks.

However having worn this model of boot for many years I am impressed and would easily recommend them. These for me feel a better and more agile boot to the Salomon Quest 4 GTX that is also available.

There are reports of people having issues with the material cracking at the toe flex point and then leaking after about 6-9 months of use. This so far has not happened to myself and not seen any failure of the boots except for the sole unit wearing out.

I really do wish that Salomon would make a better compound for a lot of the boots they manufacturer which is far sticker for the wilder, wet terrain and also lasts that little bit longer. The grip performance of the sole unit is a niggle that you will see coming up again and again in the forums online.

But so far in my own personal experience they seem to wear extremely well with nearly no damage after months and months of abuse.

Because of all this they will be my footwear of choice for my upcoming return to the Cape Wrath Trail and let’s see how a new pair performs on that challenge.
