Is the X-Adventure Recon fully waterproof?

Yes. It has a GORE-TEX membrane under a full-grain leather upper, which keeps water out while letting moisture escape.

How does it compare with the XA Pro?

It borrows the XA Pro's fit and stability but uses a leather upper and a GORE-TEX liner, so it is more weatherproof and heavier than the mesh XA Pro.

What is the drop and cushioning?

It has an 11 mm drop with a 32 mm heel and 21 mm forefoot stack, and moderate cushioning. That suits heel strikers and longer days on foot.

Is it good for summer hiking?

The leather and waterproof liner make it warmer than mesh shoes. It is better for wet, cool or mixed conditions than hot, dry trails.

What kind of laces does it use?

It uses regular laces, not Salomon's quick-pull system, so you tie them like a standard shoe.

Our take on the Salomon X-Adventure Recon GORE-TEX Men's Walking Shoes

The X-Adventure Recon GORE-TEX is Salomon's leather hiking shoe built on the XA Pro lineage. A full-grain leather upper with a GORE-TEX membrane keeps feet dry, and the All Terrain Contagrip outsole plus the Advanced Chassis insert add grip and lateral stability. It suits hikers and everyday walkers who want a sturdy, weatherproof shoe with a mid-cut collar. Against lighter mesh trail shoes it trades breathability and weight for durability and protection.
