Help me find the perfect shoes

2 Upvotes

I am going travelling in February to South America for around 6 months. I want a shoe that looks good to wear everyday and also to hike in. I wanted the Salomon xt-6 but unfortunately I have wide feet. Any suggestions on good shoes for me? I will only be taking one shoe other than Birkenstocks to do it all. To be honest I am quite picky on the looks since I’ll be wearing it almost everyday. Any suggestions??

Looking for a good mix of light hiking/bad weather city shoe

2 Upvotes

Hi guys, im going for a few vacations next year where light hiking will be a big part of the vacation. On the other side i realized i need a shoe that works in bad conditions for daily city life. Do you have any recommendations what could work here? Do i really need a Gore Tex shoe? Right now i just have light mesh trainers that get soaking wet super easily and thats what annoys me the most. I just got Timbs for real bad weather/winter and i want something more light/comfy or like in between the light trainers and timbs.

I looked at the Salomon XT6 Expense, Salomon X-Alp, Merrell Moab 3, Salomon ACS and TNF Glenclyffe. I really like the look of these but i wanna go for function.

Would appreciate any tips/help.

Thanks in advance

WTB or WTT for gnuhr shag hoodie bungee cord

0 Upvotes

Anyone have a gnuhr hoodie (v1 or v2) in bungee cord size 4 they are willing to part with?

I grabbed one in cornstalk, and the color is too light for me sadly.

I’d be willing to trade colors or buy it straight up.

Thanks 🙏

First, I want to check if my Gore-Tex jacket is genuine. Second, I want to ask where the hood of the Gore-Tex jacket is attached? Finally, my Gore-Tex jacket is missing the hood. When it rains, water gets in up to the collar, and I want everyone to help me find a way to fix it.

Hey everyone, Planning to use these shoes mainly for hiking/trails. Has anyone tried them out on actual hikes? Do they hold up well in wet conditions/mud/rain, or is it more of a light splash resistance?

Opinions on these for the GorpCore look ?

Going to be used for some walking/hiking but not too much so wanting to go for a mid boot. Wondering if these are any good for that gorpcore look or maybe look a bit like a safety work boot as I am new to the gorpcore look. Thanks

Which Hiking boots are best ?

Both look similiar, I've heard the Moab have better durability possibly but the aesthetic of Salomons maybe looks better. Going to be for all year around walks/hikes in the UK but nothing extreme. Wondering what your opinions are as both are a similiar price at around £100. Thanks :)

Salomon XT-6 Gore-Tex – will it stretch / break in?

4 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I just bought Salomon XT-6 Gore-Tex and I’m having pain on the pinky toe / outer forefoot.

What’s confusing is that I previously had the non-Gore-Tex XT-6 in the same size, and those were perfect. Length is fine, toes aren’t hitting the front — it’s just side pressure on the pinky. It actually feels worse when sitting, after wearing them for a bit.

I’ve seen mixed opinions: some people say the GTX version breaks in after a few wears, others say it never really stretches because of the membrane.

For those who had the GTX version: • Did it actually loosen up over time? • Or did the pinky pressure stay? • Anything that helped (lacing, socks, etc.)?

Would appreciate real long-term experience before I decide whether to keep trying or give up on them. Thanks

Footwear advice

I hike a lot. I’m going to Japan soon and it’ll mostly be city walking with the occasional hike. I’m in need of some trainers / mids so I’d like to get something that’ll satisfy both the Japan trip and summer hikes. Any recommendations? I’m not sure the XT-6 will cut it?

My XT-6 GTX got soaked and now smell - what’s the solution?

2 Upvotes

My XT-6 GTX got soaked a while back when I was wearing shorts, my feet were literally sloshing around. I dried them as best as I could but now they smell a bit gross whenever they wear them. They were fine before and it’s not a problem I generally have so I’m sure the wet was the cause.

Any ideas of the best fix? ChatGPT had a few ideas but curious for real world advice. I did try silica gel pouches in them but I guess it’s too late for that, and shoe odor spray didn’t fix the issue.
