New for 2016, the salomon x ultra gtx mujer continues Salomons popular line of trail shoes that are lighter and lower cut than hiking boots. We put the X Ultra 2s to the test on steep, technical terrain and came away very impressed: they are light, comfortable, and surprisingly stable. Even when wearing an overnight pack on moderate terrain, the X Ultra 2s provided all the support that we needed.
The EVA midsole on the zapatillas salomon mujer outlet provides good cushion, and the Contragrip sole is grippy even on tough of terrain. While wearing these shoes on some very steep and rocky stretches, I fully expected to slip but never did. And the toe cap adds the right level of protectionits burly enough to block most rocks and roots on the trail but not overkill.
One issue weve had with Salomon hiking footwear in the past is the single pull- closure system. Instead of normal laces, salomon outlet españa tighten via a single-pull tab . When youre finished, you tuck the pull tab into a small pocket on of the tongue. In years past, weve thought that Salomon closures didnt tighten as evenly around the foot as regular laces, and they also loosened on occasion at rather inopportune times.
For us, the zapatillas salomon hombre baratas stand alone as the top lightweight hiking shoe on the market. But, while we recommend the X Ultras to almost any day hiker or overnight backpacker, there are a number of popular alternatives. For a shoe with even more stability and protection, The North Face Ultra 109 is a compelling option. Only available in a waterproof Gore-Tex build, we give the edge to The North Face for backpackers hauling a heavier load.
