"The Salomon GCS XCR Women's Trail Running Shoe features a Gore-Tex XCR insert for 'guaranteed dry' feet on wet runs. This membrane breathes like crazy while it blocks all external moisture, so you can wear these shoes through summer and into late fall and early winter. Using Salomon's Ground Control System, which adapts to uneven ground but keeps your foot stable, these trail runners save your energy and prevent injury while you hoof it over the roughest terrain. A mud guard, protective toe and heel caps, and bootie-fit construction keep you striding along in comfort."

From REI:
"Ultra-stable and extremely breathable, Salomon GCS XCR trail shoes offer serious performance for technically demanding trail runners. Synthetic leather/mesh uppers are durable, light and quick-drying—rands around toes and heels protect uppers from mud and abrasion. Gore-Tex® XCR® seam-sealed inner booties offers a new level of breathability while retaining complete waterproof protection. Ground Control System™ (GCS) controls heelstrike with 2 sliding plates connected by 4 spring joints--adaptive stability that moves any direction. Synthetic Sensifit™ exoskeleton cradles instep and locks feet firmly into heel pockets; gusseted tongues help keep out trail debris. Quickfit™ one-pull lacing provides a fast, secure and exact fit using durable Kevlar® laces--excess length stows away in tongue pocket. Dual-density EVA midsoles absorb shock; thermoplastic foot plates provide the right amount of flex, support and responsiveness underfoot. Running Contagrip™ outsoles use multi-directional, self-cleaning lugs made from multi-density rubbers for a perfect blend of grip and durability."

"Great in the rain. Great in the snow. Great when its cold. Great traction. If you live on a mountain or spend a lot of time on one you must have these. Great fit and the lace system works extremely well. The only Gore-Tex shoes to buy."
