Hiked for 30 minutes, in the rain, 2 days ago and for some strange reason, my salomon's got soaked!!! First time this happened to them (about 1 year old shoes and have done this hike quite a few times). They are still wet and starting to smell sour - any advise please?!?

You say that they're about a year old: in my experience, these shoes only last about a year before they start to come apart--like every other well-built shoe I've ever run a lot in. Gore-Tex also has a limited functional life-span, and being down in wet conditions and being beaten up by rocks and sticks and such only speed the aging process of the material. I also find that when I run through streams, deep puddles, deep mud, and/or snow my feet get wet because the shoes fill with water/wet material, but I trust that you ruled that out as an explanation...
