These are two different kinds of shoe.
The Salomon X Ultra 4 GORE-TEX is a low hiking shoe; the Salomon X Ultra 360 Mid GTX is a mid-cut hiking boot. The lighter one saves 6 g a pair, but they are built for different kinds of hiking, so the lightest is not automatically the better buy.
What the extra 6 g of the Salomon X Ultra 360 Mid GTX buys you
- A higher cut that covers the ankle.
Weights are per pair as Alpinetrek lists them, usually for a medium size, so a few grams either way can come from the size they weighed. The other specs were checked on 19 October 2026 against Alpinetrek (Salomon X Ultra 360 Mid GTX) and Alpinetrek (Salomon X Ultra 4 GORE-TEX). "Not stated" means the source does not mention it, not that the shoe lacks it. List prices are the full price shown by that source, not a sale price; where sources disagree we show none.
Choose the Salomon X Ultra 360 Mid GTX if…
…you carry a multi-day pack on rough or wet ground and want the ankle covered and a stiffer sole.
Choose the Salomon X Ultra 4 GORE-TEX if…
…you want a sturdier sole and more protection than a trail runner for day hikes and lighter backpacking, without the weight of a boot.
