The Salomon Story: From Peaks to Pavements

Salomon’s tale began in 1947 in the quaint town of Annecy, France. What started with metal saw blades soon turned to ski edges, as the Salomon family tapped into the winter sports arena. Fast forward through decades of ski boots and bindings, and the brand quickly leaped into hiking shoes in 1992, embracing adventurers of all kinds.

 

After that, innovation soon became Salomon’s middle name. The Quicklace system? Their brainchild for fuss-free lacing. The Agile Chassis System? A marvel that stabilizes your stride on rocky paths. Salomon doesn’t just create shoes; they engineer companions for your feet.

Salomon Meets the Street

But Salomon isn’t just for the trailblazers of the wilderness. The XT-6, birthed for the rugged trails, found its way into the urban jungle and onto the most discerning fashionistas’ feet. Their strides into fashion collaborations have blurred the lines between practicality and trendsetting, catering to the outdoor enthusiast and the city slicker alike.

Enter "Gorpcore"

Yes, you read that right. Gorpcore — the trend where outdoor gear meets everyday cool — has become Salomon’s playground. It’s where their coveted XT-Wings 2 shines, with its cushy Agile Chassis System making a transition from dirt paths to downtown a breeze.

 

Or take the XT-Pathway, a shoe that says, “I’m ready for adventure” in any setting. Its sleek design and rugged sole are equally at home on a scenic hike or at your local café.

 

Not to overlook the XT-Rush 2 either, which embodies the spirit of versatility. Whether you’re darting through city streets or pacing through forest trails, this model is your go-to for comfort and style.

 

And for the purists at heart, the ACS+ stands as a testament to Salomon’s legacy — robust, reliable, and ready for anything. It’s the shoe that doesn’t compromise, making no distinction between an urban explorer and an alpine conqueror.
