Verdict

The Salomon OUTpulse Mid GTX is a solid performer — a mid waterproof scoring 84/100 in SoleHunt's data-driven evaluation, drawing on 0 consumer reviews and 0 independent expert tests. Tipping the scales at 424g, it is on the heavier side for a mid waterproof. The 28mm heel stack — a moderate stack — delivers a firm ride at 38 HC, returning 48% of impact energy and feeling cushion-focused rather than reactive underfoot. Geometrically, the OUTpulse Mid GTX runs on a low 6mm drop that suits midfoot and forefoot strikers, with a 22mm forefoot stack that creates a naturally ground-hugging feel. Fit-wise, the toebox measures 95mm — roomy, with space for wider feet and swelling on long runs — and the upper comes in a standard width. Snug Sensifit system. Standard to narrow. It is designed for multi-day hiking, technical approaches, wet weather, mountain terrain, and performs less well for wide feet or trail running.
