The Salomon X Ultra Alpine Mid GTX is a men’s approach shoe designed to bridge the gap between hiking and climbing. Its mid-cut profile offers added ankle support for rocky trails and steeper terrain, making it suitable for adventurous outings where both protection and agility matter.
Constructed from a mix of leather and textile, this shoe delivers a sturdy yet breathable upper that stands up to rough use. The built-in GORE-TEX membrane provides waterproofing while allowing moisture to escape, keeping your feet dry in damp conditions. Underfoot, Salomon’s Alpine Contragrip sole ensures dependable traction on loose rock and uneven surfaces, helping you maintain stability when every step counts.
Alpine Contragrip is a specialized outsole technology featuring a durable rubber compound and multidirectional lugs designed to grip a variety of surfaces. This configuration maximizes friction on wet or dry rock, offering both long-lasting wear and enhanced stability on technical approach paths.
