XT-6 Gore-Tex

I'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.

Hey! I had this dilemma and went with a pair of Salomon xt-6 gtx. Had a look at them?

I’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?

I 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.

Salomon 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

As someone who’s got these with goretex - they become a stinky nightmare very quickly. Would get without vortex any day of the week

Salomon XT6 - Goretex. Bought for glasto several years ago and still going strong. Your feet will thank you later

My 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.

I 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.

trail running shoes are the best compromise. love me some salomon xt-6
