Get ready to power through uphills and descents with this mid-cut GORE-TEX version of the updated X-ULTRA 4. It is as agile as a trail-running shoe but with all the stability, grip and waterproof protection you need to tackle technical terrain. Equipped with a new chassis, the shoe is even better at protecting sensitive articulations without compromising freedom of movement.

Trail-inspired agility

Drawing on our trail-running expertise, this shoe is lighter and more agile, so you stay nimble on uneven terrain.

Enhanced stability

The new ADV-C Chassis targets articulations on the outer foot to optimize stability without limiting your mobility, while the higher cut provides extra ankle support.

All-terrain grip

The Contagrip® MA outsole grabs the terrain, even when it’s wet or slippery, giving you more control especially on descents.

Contagrip® MA

Contagrip® MA is built for the widest variety of surfaces. It balances both the geometry and the rubber compound to deliver confidence on wet, dry, hard or loose surfaces, and offer long-term durability.

ADV-C Chassis

Keeping outer ankle articulations safe and protected, this chassis brings extra stability while leaving the front of the shoe soft and flexible to move freely with a fluid stride.

Active Support

These mobile wings help hold the foot in place and accompany its movement, adapting to its shape and volume.

Chevron lugs

Lug design with deep penetration and multi-directional grip, improving traction on soft surfaces like mud or loose dirt.

EnergyCell

A high performance EVA foam that provides shock attenuation.

PU coated leather

A polyurethane coated leather that protects it and makes it stronger to last longer.

Water Repellent

A special treatment is applied to provide extra protection, ensuring that the fabric does not absorb water during light rain and showers.

Mesh and textile lining

A soft, breathable lining for extreme comfort.

Gusseted tongue

The tongue is connected to the upper on both sides, preventing debris from entering the shoe, and keeping the tongue centered.

SensiFit™

SensiFit™ cradles the foot from the midsole to the lacing system, providing a secure, snug, and virtually customized fit all around the foot.

Protective mudguard

A wrap of leather, synthetic or rubber around the base of the foot that protects the lateral and medial sides of the foot.

Molded OrthoLite® sockliner

Molded to match the contours of your foot, this OrthoLite® insole provides superior cushioning, as well as breathability and durability, to upgrade the comfort and performance of our footwear.

Regular laces

Traditional lacing system with eyelets.

GORE-TEX

GORE-TEX keeps your feet dry -from the outside as well as from the inside.
