"super waterproof"

"The tread is ultra durable. ... I play 300 days a year and they lasted about 18 months."
"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 do everything in them! Hike intermediate to hard trails on the north shore and haven’t had issue. ... We frequent the mtn bike trails on Seymour and have done lots of day hikes in them."
"the only thing they don’t get a grip on is wet wood."
"They’re lightweight and comfortable, with a grippy sole that’s great for hikes but also easy to walk in."

"You’re not on the trails as much as you’re on boardwalk and cobblestones. That’s what killed my feet."
"Make sure your shoes are really cushy (mine were not). ... even on the Litoral/Coastal there are pretty of cobblestones and they just wreck your feet."

"started having holes in them very quickly ... I used a pair as my main hiking shoe"
"aren't really for trail running/hiking anymore ... not intended anymore for actual trails ... more of a casual/city shoe and not intended anymore for actual trails ... Basically it's a gorpcore shoe for trendy fashion"
"I had trail runners (Salomon XT-6) and they gave me the worst blisters of my life. ... I typically don’t get blisters from any shoes, so I was heartbroken that this happened."

"The small amount of walking on pavement has done 10x’s more damage than any hike…. ... Mesh near my pinky toes is was going mainly, it’s torn and new holes show up over time. ... Plus the ball or base of my sole is almost completely gone now. ... So I’m not sure if they’re “worth the price” if you plan to wear them daily."

avgenthusiast 1.0I'm going to toss the Salomon XT-6 GORE-TEX into the mix. While I love the new XT-Whispers, it looks like some weatherproofing is preferred and I think this is a solid shoe. Comfortable, bomber, lots of colorways, and I love the quick-lace system.

Competitive-Bet-9828 1.0Hey! I had this dilemma and went with a pair of Salomon xt-6 gtx. Had a look at them?
hamebo 1.0I’ve had my XT-6 goretex’s for about a year now, I’ve put in 100’s of Kms trail running and hiking, also 100’s of kms backpacking through Europe and Asia and have had nothing start to fall apart. Maybe I got a good batch?
humanfrommwg 1.0I used goretex version to do a winter hike w/some snow and puddles and didn’t get feet wet. Price difference is pretty small only $20. For something serious I would not count on them though.
MindlessCoconut4681 1.0Salomon XT-6 gore Tex - I’ve worn them to death across Asia and back in the UK in all weather conditions, went running in them in Spain, walked 20k + steps a day in them at Glastonbury, and I wear them as a day to day shoe in London as I think they look great. Also if you buy off Salomon they come with a 2 year warranty, I just got my second pair for free through their warranty as mine had some wear in the inside ankle bit
THICC_SUCC_DELUCC 1.0As someone who’s got these with goretex - they become a stinky nightmare very quickly. Would get without vortex any day of the week
Heph204 0.6Salomon XT6 - Goretex. Bought for glasto several years ago and still going strong. Your feet will thank you later
Anxiety_On_Demand 0.5My XT6’s gave me such bad foot pain I am still battling which shoes to wear to correct it a year later. If you have flat feet do NOT get these shoes.
AverageAndyNilsen 0.5I mean, the Solly XT6s everyone is going crazy for are a softground model with big lugs too. In reality, when the lugs wear down on any of these, then they're still fine streetwear shoes.
barbatex 0.5trail running shoes are the best compromise. love me some salomon xt-6
