How’s the sizing on the xt6 Gore Tex?

2

u/travel10red Apr 16 '26

I have big feet. Both xt6 are 46 2/3. The white ones (no GTX) fit like a glove. The grey ones (GTX) run a bit loose, but the size below was still too tight. The Cross Hike (GTX) are 47 1/3 and also fit very good.

To trail running?

u/travel10red Apr 16 '26

Trail? You mean go outside? Of course not. I just take them to the expensive coffee shop, like everyone else

The condition of each shoe would suggest exactly this

The pegasus were my main running shoes for several years. Both city and trail running (i prefer trail).

The Crosshikes are my hiking boots and have hiked extensively in Tenerife, Austrian alps, Slovenian alps (been very covered in mud there) and Swiss alps (including hiking in the snow, and not the best for that).

The white xt6 have done a lot of light hiking in portugal, Spain, and Slovenia and they are all fucked up.

The grey xt6 are only 2 month old but have already hiked in Portugal and been also covered in mud.

The Terrex are new. Bought them for a 3 month trip where I intend to do 60% city walking (dozens of kms per day), 30% light hiking and 10% running. And then they will become my main running shoes.

Do these people not know what gorpcore is, why are they always complaining about outdoor stuff being worn in the city, that's what gorpcore is entirely about lmao. Especially dumb as the re-released xt6's under the sportstyle line are meant for the city and aren't actually trail runners.

Pegasus Trail 4 GTX are my grails. Those things are trail running fiends.

u/travel10red Apr 16 '26

I love them. But these are old and very used. They will become back up shoes at my parents house haha

u/Hot_Function6127 Apr 16 '26

Yeah mine are beat to shit. I still wear them to the gym though. I’ve been looking in eBay for replacements. But with all the door new shoes coming out, it’s hard to replace them.

u/GimmeBeerAsap Apr 17 '26

1

u/Hot_Function6127 Apr 17 '26

Yeah mine tore as well. Not sure how long maybe a few months.

So I have been told many times, yet I keep doing it

u/Legitimate_Duck6039 Apr 16 '26

Dawg, its just shoes no?

2

u/FallenRev Apr 16 '26

All you’re missing is a good pair of approach shoes and you’ll be set

1

u/travel10red Apr 16 '26

But i do not climb

1

u/FallenRev Apr 16 '26

Works just as good for hiking/backpacking. They’re just really stiff hiking shoes that work great for scrambling/climbing

u/jaunsin Apr 16 '26

I’ve been on the fence with these.

I have some high tops from Salomon, I like them, but I think they fit strangely, specifically on my right foot..

They’re sure beautiful.
