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
