Foothold, Stability, Cushioning, and Grip!Salomon's X Ultra 3 Goretex Hiking Boot is specifically designed for a woman's foot. A carefully sculpted hiking shoe holds your foot in place even during technical descents, and prevents slippage so you can enjoy more stable and safer descents.This hiking boot's asymmetrical chassis is designed to maximize stability and cushioning while minimizing fatigue on rugged terrain.Two different types of rubber are strategically placed on the sole, resulting in a more intense grip. A special patterned area on the heel grabs terrain more aggressively, giving you more control. Specially designed lines located on the outsole increase the shoe's flexibility, helping decrease fatigue, especially during longer hikes.
