#NUCLEO HIGH GTX UPGRADE#
After the trail, terrains, and miles I’ve put on my first pair, I agree with almost every outdoor media outlet we consulted that the Hoka Sky Kaha boots are the best upgrade lightweight hiking boot, and we highly recommend them. Since originally testing these boots in 2019, after 800+ miles of hiking and backpacking all around the world, I stand by my original analysis that the men’s and women’s Hoka Sky Kaha are the best lightweight hiking boots you can get if you're ok spending a little more. Gear Junkie says, “For those looking for a light hiking boot that doesn’t make much of a fashion statement, this is a solid place to start.” I wasn’t a fan of the colorway (I tested Peppercorn / Black / Coral Almond) or exterior styling of the Salomon. Although my ankle wiggles around a little, this has never caused me to lose my footing or roll my ankle. While hiking, I notice some gaping between the shoe and my ankle. Other reviewers at REI have noticed this issue, saying, “Stuffing in the tongue wings and getting the boot tied properly is a bit of a nuisance.” I agree.īecause of this lacing structure, I didn’t feel like I could get the boots as tight around my ankle as I’d like. To fix the problem, I had to re-adjust the tongue position by tucking down the sides. When I first put the Salomons X Ultra on, the right shoe tongue was pressing uncomfortably into the top of my foot because of the way it folds in on itself due to the gusset. Outdoor Gear Lab praised the speed lacing system saying, “the X Ultra Mid 3 GTX locks the foot into place through a speed lacing system as well as a padded collar.” However, we had a different experience. They have webbing eyelets, except for the last 2 hooks that are spaced far apart from each other and the webbing loops. The Salomon GTX 3s are a high-collar waterproof hiking boot, like the Hoka Sky Kaha and the La Sportiva Nucleo High II GTX. However, they are also available in a wide model ( men’s and women’s). Customer reviewers also found that these shoes fit narrow feet better. I have a narrow foot, so I found the Salomon to fit well. This allowed my toes to spread out when they swelled during and after hiking. These boots felt true to size with extra room in the toe box.
