Upper. Both the OUTline GTX and the X Ultra 3 GTX are comfortable out of the box, but they vary greatly in terms of how they fit and feel. The OUTline GTX is much slimmer and is extremely. Additionally, its collar is cut noticeably low, promoting more freedom of movement. On the other hand, the X Ultra 3 GTX features a more robust upper, thick padding in the tongue and collar, and bulkier lacing system and overall construction.

Weight. In terms of weight, the featured hiker undercuts the X Ultra 3 GTX. It makes a great option for fast hikers who are after ultra-lightweight shoes. However, lightweight kicks such as the OUTline GTX won't give you much support when you're carrying a heavy load. 

Traction. Both these shoe models make use of the Salomon Contagrip soles. Thus, they are both long-wearing and pretty aggressive. Nonetheless, the OUTline and X Ultra shoes vary in terms of tread pattern, which has an impact on their level of grip and Cal.

In particular, the X Ultra 3 GTX features chevron lugs, called Descent Control technology, that hold nicely in off-camber sections. There's also an addition of gill-like cutouts in the heel that boosts downhill Cal. Overall, the waterproof X Ultra 3 performs well on technical hikes.

Lacing system. The X Ultra 3 GTX features Salomon's innovative QuickLace system, while its rival sports a traditional closure, which uses flat laces.

VERDICT: For hikes on easy and level paths or adventures that transition from town to trail (and vice-versa), the OUTline GTX is the better choice. On the other hand, if the types of terrain you tackle are trickier and far more demanding, opt for the brawnier zapatillas de trekking Salomon hombre talla 37.
