Well I love Salomon shoes and I would probably love these fresh new Goretex shoes. But there is a problem. What are you asking? They are not waterproof. Not in the slightest. In fact, I've worn them about 8 times, and not even in the rain, but walking through 6 inch tall grass that's moderately damp got my toes wet after 5 minutes. Actually pretty disappointing. Especially for $100 shoes. So if you like wet socks and expensive shoes, then these Salomon rain jackets are for you!
