XT-6 Sneaker

These were made for the girl that’s going to hike a New England trail and then immediately go to a brewery to try to pet stranger dogs. These were made for the nyc girlies adding gorp to complete their brat outfits. These were made for the elderly who struggle to tie their own shoes and are high fall risk. Also men and other gender identities can wear them, but they’re mostly for the girls.

I had heard good things from a couple people about Salomon’s. However, when I ordered and got them I was disappointed. I got them to replace some hiking shoes and I initially liked how grippy the outsole is. I tried them on after a 3.5 mile hike to make sure the length and width were correct and they although the width is good, the heel felt clunky and the interior footbed was very uncomfortable. I thought it was just the cheap liner, so I put a pair of insoles in them, but that made no difference. In fact I tried two different insoles and the interior of the shoe was so uncomfortable, after taking off my other shoe. I also noticed that the mesh upper material seemed too thick and not breathable at all. The laces were also quite long and unlike the Salomon Speedcross, there isn’t a pocket on the tongue to store the pull mechanism or rather there is one, but it’s half sewn shut, so unusable for that purpose, which made no sense, so it flops around when you walk. For the $200 price, these shoes were not high quality at all. In fact I am surprised these are so popular since the actual footbed is not comfortable for even 5 minutes let alone a trail run/walk. Anyway, back they went. I’d highly encourage people to try these on after a run to ensure they work for you.

I’ve been trying for a while to get a pair of XT-6’s. After a cancelled preorder I got an alert off nordstrom.com and there was one left in my size, snagged it! Super cushy insole, excellent ankle support & I like the draw string laces, very stylish too.

The shoe is very comfortable.It does run slightly on the bigger size. My intention was to use it for working out so stuck to a size 7 instead of going down half a size.

I love these shoes, but they’re definitely not for wearing in hotter or more humid climates. I’d say they’re more of a winter shoe but even for my early morning walks in California it makes my feet too hot to wear them. They are comfy and true to size. I just wish they were more breathable.

Runs true to size do not size up unless you have wide feet because these are not wide. Ordered a size 8 at first because i wear a 7.5 or 8 most times but runs big had to order size 7.5 in women and fits me perfect. I have slim feet and width is perfect for me. I dont own black sneakers so got these in black and loved them. Hopefully they are worth the hype with comfort
