"Both Asics gortex and Salomon gortex Ive found to be the best I've used. ... I get probably 2-3000km out of them? ... Say 8km a day of sandstone gravel fire trails and rocky escarpments for a year. I would get 12-18 months out of them. ... Sometimes I just wear out heel rubber and foam is still good so I build it back up using Sikaflex or something to go another 6 month lol"

"don't expect the waterproofing to last more than one season/month of heavy use."
"Both were real decent, but the Speedcross are higher quality, and more durable."

"The downside of trail runners to me (Solomans) was I would sometimes get foot bruises on sharp rocky ground. ... My Solomans had a rock plate (thank you for pointing out my omission), but I feel a big difference with my Murrell Moab's."
"Current Salomon trail runners have to thick of a sole and cant feel rock well beneath them ... maybe the ones I have just dont work well for this specific use case."

"They all fit differently. ... It was infuriating. ... So, a warning to all: Try all models of a given brand, because you can't rely on equivalent fit."

genomskinligt 1.0Goretex shoes! Keeps me dry in snow, rain and slush. I use the salomon alphacross 5 gore-tex ones and love them
Long_Procedure_2629 0.6I have two pairs of Alphacross that are great though don't expect the waterproofing to last more than one season/month of heavy use. Would buy again, the tread pattern is so good for grip.
timtam_z28 0.6I have the Speedcross 5's and I swear they're the best shoes I've ever worn. I also have Oboz boots, which I do like, but those feel heavy to me now. I don't see myself buying another brand for some time. I'd estimate I have 500+ miles on the Speedcross 5's. Before these I had the Alphacross and another cheaper model they no longer make. Both were real decent, but the Speedcross are higher quality, and more durable. I bought the 6's for my GF and her feet are in pretty bad shape physically, but she agrees with me and also loves them.
Salomon Speedcross 5 or 6. Haven't even tried another shoe in years. Had alphacross before that. So for about the last 5 years, only salomon.
autocol 0.0Salomon Gore Tex sneakers. My second choice are Saucony Gore Tex sneakers.
gordanier1 0.0Solomon’s are great. The mud doesn’t pack up op the sole, super waterproof. The tread is ultra durable. $120-$150 but I play 300 days a year and they lasted about 18 months.
djmattyp77 0.0However, I wear these, and they fell apart within the first month. Weak lace loops ripped and the waterproof fabric is tearing. Keens are still the only shoes that last longest, stay waterproof and don't wear on the outside over time compared to any other shoe I've tried
Imaginary-Round2422 0.0Salomon trail runners. They’re my goat shoes - the only thing they don’t get a grip on is wet wood.
Salomon waterproof trail runners are amazing. Easy open and close, comfy, and they have phenomenal traction - they’re my goat shoes. The only thing I’ve ever slipped on when wearing them is snow-dusted sheer ice. That, and wet wood.

West-Metal3537 0.0In the winter, I play in Salomon Trail Running shoes with goretex. They were great. But they’re expensive, and they only last about one year before the traction runs down on my plant foot. Does anybody have a recommended waterproof shoe under $125? Or some thing that is more durable than the Salomons?
h4rlotsghost 0.0Waterproof Salomon trailer running shoes. They make several kinda and they're all pretty solid.
