how do i decide between salomon x ultra 3 mid vs la sportiva n ghost for 30+ mile thru‑hikes
quick poll for the trail crew today i’m gearing up for a long summer thru‑hike and i’m stuck on boots i’ve narrowed it down to two models that keep popping up in the forums:
- salomon x ultra 3 mid – lightweight, decent toe protection, good for mixed terrain, 30 mm drop
- la sportiva n ghost – stiffer sole, better grip on rocky sections, 35 mm drop, pricier
which one do you actually trust on a 30+ mile push with ~2000 ft elevation gain per day? (i’m talking full‑pack, cots, everything)
vote + comment why – durability, break‑in time, water resistance, whatever matters to you tbh i’m leaning toward the n ghost but i don’t want to regret it if the x ultra handles the mud better
