Anyone have these? Any feedback?
I’d prefer not to have Waterproof hiking shoes as well but no one seems to make a mid non waterproof hiking boot/shoe.I wear Salomons a lot. Never worn the xa ultra mid, but my son and I both have the x ultra. It’s low top rather than mid. They’re great shoes. Comfortable, supportive enough, great traction, the rubber is a good mix of durable yet sticky.
That’s pretty consistent across their whole line. (I’ve worn several iterations of the speed cross and other trail shoes like the sense mantra, plasma, etc.)
Personally, I don’t use goretex footwear. My feet always get wet, whether from external water or sweating, and I prefer quick to dry over slower to wet. but I wouldn’t count on the waterproofing on the goretex Salomon product to keep feet dry for all that long.
