Salomon from Annecy for Everyday Life
Salomon is a French brand founded in Annecy in 1947. The name is the family’s last name; François Salomon and his son Georges founded the company, which started out making ski edges. Later, they expanded into hiking and trail running shoes. Today, Salomon shoes are synonymous with practical features and great design. That’s why they’ve also gained popularity as everyday footwear. At STRØM, you’ll find a curated selection of Salomon men’s and Salomon women’s shoes.
Salomon Shoes: Size and Fit
Salomon shoes aren’t generally too big or too small. The fit depends on the model and your foot. For hiking, the brand recommends choosing the larger size if you’re between sizes. The shoe should support your foot without causing pressure points.
Are Salomon shoes waterproof?
It depends on the model. GORE-TEX versions feature a membrane that protects against water, though you can’t count on the same level of protection across all models. At STRØM, you’ll find the XT-6 GTX, among others. Choose based on the weather: A membrane protects against moisture but also makes the shoe less breathable.
Salomon Shoes for Walking and Hiking
Salomon shoes can be great for walking when the fit and sole are suited to the hike. For trails without major obstacles, flexibility is key; on terrain with rocks and roots, support becomes more important. The best hiking shoes therefore depend on the terrain, your pack, and the length of the hike.
