Astonishingly comfy right away Salomon X Ultra 4 GTX is a great alternative to the Lab test results. Also, if extra breathability is what you're after in hiking shoes, nbsp; | Who should NOT buy it .
Cross country shoes
Tonnes of stickiness is what the Moab 3 Waterproof has! Talk about downhill routes, slick rocks, single-track soft ground trails.. the grip on this shoe never failed us!
As is true in most waterproof shoes, including
When we went for a longer hike, we especially felt the support in this shoe. It felt as if our feet could go further with tonnes of support throughout the arch. It's something we don't see often so 10/10 for support!

Who should NOT buy it
This pillow-like hiker comes with zero break-in. What more could we ask for? From the box to the 20-mile hike - YES. Instant comfort, thank you.
No break-in period
We found that this shoe is great for hikes who have wider feet - not just in the toebox, but throughout. Because of this, we had to wear somewhat thicker socks, but we were not bothered by that. Even better, merino socks + winter hikes, perfect combo for these hikers.
No break-in period
We did have some issues with the laces. The tubular design makes them untie often. If only they were flat. So, a double knot it is.
The Lab test results knows no wear and tear
And, of course, we loved the not-so-tired feel in the feet after the hike.
Astonishingly comfy right away
We felt totally triumphant after finishing our hike with completely dry feet. Waterproofing on these hikers work wonderfully.
Laces untie easily
Salomon X Ultra 4 GTX GTX-engineered ones, the third-generation Moab Waterproof can get somewhat stuffy in warm conditions. You've been warned. Beware of hot weather.
