Is the XT-6 GORE-TEX actually waterproof?

Yes. It uses a GORE-TEX membrane with a PFC-free ePE layer and an anti-debris mesh, so rain and splashes stay out while the foot stays dry.

How does it compare with the regular XT-6?

Same Agile Chassis, EVA midsole and Contagrip outsole, but the GORE-TEX version adds a waterproof membrane. That makes it warmer and less breathable than the standard mesh XT-6.

Does the XT-6 GORE-TEX run true to size?

It fits snug and narrow like the rest of the XT-6 line. Wearers with wide feet often size up half a size.

Can I run trails in it?

Yes. It was designed as a trail shoe, with a Mud Contagrip outsole and a stability chassis. Most people wear it as an everyday sneaker.

What is the Quicklace system?

A thin drawstring lacing system with a locking toggle. You pull once for a secure fit and tuck the excess lace into the tongue pocket.

One pair of shoes with the Quicklace system already fitted. Spare laces are not always included, so check the listing.

BreathabilityCriticisedThe waterproof build traps heat, so feet feel warmer than in the regular XT-6.
FitMixedThe Quicklace system locks the foot down, but the shoe runs narrow and some go up a size.

UpkeepCriticisedThe white mesh shows dirt and mud quickly and takes effort to clean.
