Specially designed to accommodate women, the best selling X ULTRA 3 GTX W has evolved into an even more effective hiking shoe. Thanks to Descent Control technology, this shoe efficiently tackles technical hikes and really shines during tough descents. Wear this pair and head downhill with a spring in your step, even in wet conditions.

Benefits

Foothold
A refined, women's specific last works with the reinforced top arm of the sensifit, holding your foot comfortably in place, especially moving downhill.

Stability and cushioning
An asymmetrical chassis designed to accommodate a woman’s anatomy maximizes stability and cushioning while minimizing fatigue on rugged terrain.

Grip
Two different types of rubber result in better grip. A patterned area on the heel grabs terrain more aggressively, giving you more control especially on descents.
