Salomon is a great shoe so long as your foot is not too wide. They have become the footwear of choice by several of the agents and agencies with whom I work (USMS, FBI, DEA, ATF, TFOs assigned to the same) and is displacing the Moab Ventilator in both the low top and mid top categories. Many models are available in Goretex (GTX) and without.
Mate them with these merino wool socks from Kirkland (costco) and it is an easy hiking day based on 300 + training and actual miles for Philmont.

I freely acknowledge that Smartwool and Darn Tough may make a better sock. The 6 pk above is 20ish shipped makes making the sock 3 ish per. The Kirklands punch way above their weight are far exceed the intersection of quality/value. Made in the USA to boot.
