Alphacross 5 Gore-Tex

Had some 2 month old Alphacross 5 GTX do same thing after 30 mins walk in rain

Goretex shoes! Keeps me dry in snow, rain and slush. I use the salomon alphacross 5 gore-tex ones and love them

Have been using a pair of Salomon alphacross 5 pretty much daily for the last year they have been great.

I 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.

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 

I have the Catamount 2 and I really like it (ran in them today), but actually prefer the Cascadia. Also, another vote for skipping GTX. You probably don't need it (or want it) for most runs.

Massive hiker here. Noticed you asked for a shoe and not a boot. I understand this choice for a single buy. My favorite hiking shoes are the Salomon GTX or similar. There are a lot of models, so if you can try some on that'll fine-tune your personal preference. But this shoe hits my feet and ankles comfortably, AND has a wicked tread for the thousands of rocks it'll be bumping over on Phoenix and AZ trails. Hint for affordability: if you get your size in a brand, I often find that reputable merchants on a large online auction site sell NEW hikers at a bit of a discount. Runnerup brands would be On Cloud and La Sportiva. ymmv (literally) of course
