these Salamons are great, son has had one pair and hike 100's of km through bush over 2 years and they are now just replaced with another pair ready for more hiking in PNG.

we have one, nice size, we paid $110 on sale so this is a good price.
I bought a different model Salamon high boot last week, I'm please to hear good things. The boots I got are super grippy. Bought 4 boots in all for the family and some other sundry clothing at the clearance store in Richmond. I was interested in the model you mention, but they did not have them in stock, even though the site said they did. They have a few outlet stores I think.
Oh the outlet store is not on sale as they are not RRP. Still cheap though.
outstore on the gold coast had womens versions for $120, super cheap. But no mens so not for us.
make sure you buy really good socks to go with the good shoes. really helps with getting no blisters.
we got $35 socks, crazy price, but our son has never had blisters with nearly everyone else in the group has.
Everyone's different. I've an ex who ran marathons and she just bought standard white socks from Target/K-Mart etc. Ran times like 3hrs 20min so she wasn't slow.
I was disappointed in the Saloman XT Hornet shoes I got from an OzB deal last year. The sole wore quickly and I needed to superglue the toe box area when the stitching came apart. Maybe I just got a dud pair? Anyway didn't turn me off the brand so I might check out both MD & Wiggle.
Cheaper Salomon here http://www.wiggle.com.au/salomon-xa-pro-3d-shoes-ss15/ just bought a pair a month ago.
Thanks Columbian but they are a different model. PVA was showing the GTX version of the xa 3d pro. Mountain designs had the non GTX model for under $100 last week.
Wiggle has 2 GTX versions, both more expensive:

One is more expensive than the other??? I think the GTX version was waterproof & breathable, some variant of goretx. Looks like Mountain Designs have sold out.
GTX is the goretex lined version. Imagine a gortex sock inbetween the inner and outer of the shoe so that it's waterproof and 'breathable'.
These are more prone to stinkiness, and if you're trailrunning and step in a puddle that lets water in, the water can't get out either.
as long as you know your exact size. I prefer to try them on. (and support a store.) when I looked wiggle were around $25 cheaper so no biggy for me..
@wittyusername:
we have found water to be fine for the goretex one, and stink free over 3 years.
PNG hike will test them though.
I was at the store today and saw up to 70% off on a few items. Some trousers don't have all sizes - only XS OR XL and above
Anyone tried the merino underwear?
Havnt tried. Read bad reviews. i wouldn't.
Yes, am wearing a pair right now, not because I like them but for the $20 they cost me I need to get some wear out of them. They fit a little tigher than other brands that I have tried and are not as well made. However I've only (currently) got macpac brand to compare to.
Shit compared to icebreaker but much cheaper. You get what you pay for.
Any suggestions on bargains?
