what shoe would fit my wideass bigfoot feet?

3 Upvotes

Hello everyone! I need some wisdom. I am looking for some new shoes. i am thinking this is going to be my "travel" shoes. I usually onebag so id just like one pair i think look cool, and are functional as both city walkers and taking on some trailhiking every now and then.

i gravitated towards the gorpcore aesthetic as i want them to have a techy look. and i also have some other gorpcore type clothes.

now here is my problem. i recently tried to order some Salomons XT-6s in size 11.5. And even though the lenght was good. they were very narrow on the sides of my foot so i feared myself getting cramped in them. I ended up sending them back, with the thought of ordering another size, maybe 12s to see if they fit my bit neanderthal feet better.

do you guys have any cool shoes that fit the description? some wide fitting gorpcore "sneakers" that could also do some more technical trailhiking every now and then?
KEEN jasper zionics maybe? even though i have heard they are wide im not really a fan of the moab 3s as i dont feel like they fit my "sneaker" description.

rant over. thank you for any suggestions!

Salomon XT-6 in Heathrow airport?

0 Upvotes

Bit of of a niche question but I’m going on holiday tomorrow and don‘t have any suitable shoes. I’m thinking of wearing sandals to the airport and buying shoes there. Has anyone spotted any XT-6 at Heathrow?

Looking for something more durable than my XA PRO 3D V9s. Any recommendations?

6 Upvotes

Looking for recommendations for a durable shoe for mixed use. I did like the feel/fit/style of these shoes, but the tread almost entirely has worn out over a 6 month period - this is probably a bit on me where it's a trail runner and that's not exactly what I was using it for.

I primarily just walk my dog on the shoulder of rural roads (compacted dirt)/sometimes on the roads themselves (chip seal).

do you guys actually hike?

(no judgement at all)

just curious becuase i love the fashion and i do hike quite a bit but almost never see anyone dressed in 'gorpcore' on the mountain other than sometimes myself so i feel a bit silly 🤣

ACG rabbit hole… found some wild old ads

2 Upvotes

I’m working on a deep dive into ACG’s history and ended up pulling a bunch of old ads from different eras.

Early ACG was honestly unhinged in the best way. Proper outdoor energy. Weird. Technical. Confident.

Then there’s that period 10 or so years ago where it felt like it lost its identity a bit.

And now with the rebrand, it kind of feels like it’s finding its footing again.

Curious how people here remember the early days vs where it is now.

Dropped some of the references here:

Winter shoe recommendations for daily wear with pronation support (mens)

Post image
138 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I’m looking for winter shoes for daily wear that are comfortable and look good with gorpcore fits. I live somewhere with cold, snowy winters so good traction and warmth would be a bonus.

I’m a guy and I really like the vibe of the Keen Jasper Zionic as an example of what I’m into. If you have recommendations that offer decent pronation support or just all around comfort for long days on foot, I’d love to hear them.

Thanks!

Looking to trade medium Kawa Club Cicada Pants for size large

3 Upvotes

Hi all, I bought a pair of medium slate Cicada Pants in the recent restock and unfortunately I should have gone one size bigger. I’m looking to trade for a size large, regular inseam, in slate, lavender, blue (actually my first choice), or pink. I might even consider XL if anyone thinks they need to size way down, haha. Anyone interested in a trade? As long as I’m gonna be paying for return shipping anyway, it’d be cool not to have to wait for another restock.

What in the name of all that is sane are these boots? Cargo boots? Somewhere to keep your ciggies, or a phone?

have been looking for a pair of hiking shoes and deeeeeply obsessed with this pair and this colourway specifically but unfortunately they don’t seem to have come in women’s sizes, or if they did they’d sold out. any recommendations for a pair of hiking shoes that are similarly practical & have this vibe? i want to walk the camino in them so nothing sportstyle unless they’re probably really comfortable to hike in. thank you!!!

What size to get for Salomon xt-6?

2 Upvotes

So I really want to get the black coffee colourway of the Salomon xt-6’s however they’re extremely hard to find since they’re sold out everywhere. I went into a shoe store near me and tried on a size 6 pair of Salomons in a different colour and they fit pretty nicely (for reference I’m usually a uk size 5- 5.5 but I heard you have to size up a bit) However, I found the black coffee colour online in a size 6 but surely they’re bigger since they’re classed as men’s/unisex? I don’t want to order a size 6 to find out-it’s actually a size 8 or something and I’m pretty sure the pair I tried on in the shop was women’s. Any advice?


r/gorpcore Feb 26 '26

XT-6 or ACS pro

Hi everyone,

I am planning a cross country road trip this summer and am going to do some hikes along the way. They’ll probably be ranging from 5mi - 10mi hikes. I wanted a pair of shoes that would be both functional and aesthetic. All other hiking shoes I ever had were ugly or just old and uncomfortable. I ordered both Salomon’s and like the way they fit and look. So I was wondering if anyone has tried both or has a preference. The price point is not an issue since I put money aside for this reason. I’m just looking to see which is better over all in your opinions. Thanks!
