Great shoe except

Great shoe except the plastic strap on the right side of the right shoe puts too much pressure on my mid foot, even while sitting. I think if I wore them for long, it would be a big problem. Might be this particular shoe, thus returning. Really like my previous Soloman's

As expected
- Familiarity:
- I've used it several times
Purchased to replace a pair of XA 3D Ultras that have been my go-to shoes for many years. The length is a perfect US12.5. The width is slightly narrower than most shoes and the heel cup is small - perfect for me, but could be a consideration for those with wider feet. The sole has a soft, grippy feel - very confident on wet rocks and leaves. Hopefully these will be durable as the XA 3Ds, but even if not, the better grip would be a worthwhile tradeoff. Speedlacing is fast and consistent . Very breathable in warm weather.

After wearing less expensive big box hiking shoes for years but needing to replace them on a regular basis I decided to step up and purchase something of higher quality. Solomon seemed like the best balance between price and solid reputation. In the online world you can spend a lot of time researching and I did. I purchased these on sale and wound up paying only about twice the price of The less expensive/lower quality shoes I was used to. It is worth every penny and I would have still been satisfied has I paid full price. I highly recommend these shoes.

I bought the X Ultra 04's as an alternative to the XA Pro 3.0's. Salomon claims the Contagrip sole on these is longer wearing than their regular Contagrip but only time will tell. I'm impressed with the light weight. Soles were pretty stiff at first (which was what I was looking for) but one four mile hike and the soles are sloppier than my very old and well used XA Pro's. The heel counter sticks up about 1.25 inches but is very flexible and provides no support. The pull laces work OK like the XA Pros, but the little stretchy mesh pocket that you tuck the pull tab into is hard to use. The mesh opening comes down the tongue far enough that the laces tighten over it, making it hard to tuck your laces. Further, the XA pros have a little strap on the front of the pocket you use to pull the pocket open, but the strap is missing on the X Ultra 04's, making it especially hard to remove the pul tab when you want to take your shoes off.

As another review stated, rubs into ankle. I figured this wouldn't happen for me so I bought. After a 15 mile hike I had a blister on my ankle bone only on right foot. I returned shoes. Other than that, great shoe. This was my 5th pair of Salomon's. The Ultra 4 is wider than the Ultra 3.

I went a 5 mile hike here in Colorado and these shoes were so comfy the entire way. This might just be me but I like outdoor gear I can wear with regular clothes and these are the ones for sure. I usually have side-pinky-rub on hiking shoes that are too narrow but I didn't have that with these. And for the clumsy folks out there, these things are grippy! I felt like a mountain goat. I would highly recommend these for their comfort and weight. Super light! I'm impressed

You could like these, even if you don't like me. Took them on a walkabout in Hawaii. . No, that's not a flex. The skies opened up, thankful for the gortex. Feet stayed dry and the traction was gripping. it didn't matter how much the skies were dripping. I didn't need to make this review rhyme, but I did anyway. I'd suggest this shoe for any kind of day. #bars
