Comfortable, good fitting trail runners for the PCT
I transitioned from the Olympus 5.0s to the GTXs for a backpacking trip through the Sierra Nevada mountains on the Pacific Crest Trail last month. The shoes held up extremely well. The 33 mms of cushioning protected my feet from the often rocky terrain. The sole gripped the decomposed granite trail very well. I liked the wide toe box (big reason why I’ve backpacked in Lone Peaks and Olympus Altras). The GTXs seemed to dry out fairly quickly after fording streams when I couldn’t rock hop across. Until I find something better, the GTXs will be my go-to trail runners for backpacking. For the price (under $120), I bought two additional pairs for future backpacking seasons.

Nice but not for me.
Besides the stellar design, the shoe is hella tight from the get-go. Easy return. I was looking forward on using these on future hikes since my tectonx took a dive after years of use. The search continues, sigh.

Too narrow/not durable
Second pair, but the new ones manufactured 04-23 are approximately 1/4" more narrow than my first pair manufactured 09-22. Durability is something these shoes are absolutely not known for, so would advise against them if searching for a distance hiking shoe. Only owed my first pair for a few months, and there is almost no tread at all on them.
