Some hiking boots can look quite heavy and bulky but the Salomon X Radiant GTX Hiking Shoes take a different approach.
Here we have a shoe that looks a lot more like an adapted sneaker than a hiking boot.
There is a nice shape and a sense of style that isn’t always provided with this sort of product.
But what does this mean for the performance and comfort? Is this less able to handle a tough trek?
The basic specification for the lace up, synthetic Salomon Cosmic 4D Trail Walking Boots talks about features that are pretty much expected from hiking boots, such as waterproofing, breathability and comfort.
However, they do have a solid support system and ankle boot shape that is more appealing and this is enhanced by the interesting grey and green designs. Is this the “great multi-day backpacking boot” it is made out to be?

The lace-up Salomon X Ultra Mid Trail Walking Boots with their 2-inch heel have some interesting features like the Quick Laces for added convenience in putting them on, a SensiFit system of comfort and Contra grip materials.
They almost sound like high-tech boots, which is not what is on top of peoples priority lists.
Instead, buyers want this boot to offer basic reliability on the terrain, waterproofing and comfort over long periods of time. Can this product provide this or have buyers been disappointed?

As we are heading towards summer, we have longer days and shorter nights, which is excellent news if you are a fan of backpacking, rambling, and hill walking and camping.
Along with the essentials such as a good rucksack, a hardy and easy to set up tent and waterproof jacket, another important piece of gear that you should have is a good pair of walking shoes or boots.
