Salomon Men's Outbound Prism GTX Shoes

However, I always have to make two knots or the laces untie at some point while I'm walking. It's not that big of a painpoint but it does take longer to untie them again after the walk. Be inspired and let the OUTBOUND PRISM GORE-TEX take you to new places. This versatile outdoor shoe effortlessly adapts to all your explorations, whether you’re in the city or half-way up a mountain. With breathable mesh, soft fabrics, a waterproof GORE-TEX membrane and modern silhouette, it’s ready to take off and explore. Are you? Benefits All-day comfort: We’ve chosen soft, breathable fabrics and added a pre-shaped tongue that hugs your foot to keep you comfortable all day long. Features Salomon is known for their in-house Contagrip rubber, but the shoes above still vary widely based on lug depth and spacing and the type of compound used. Their All Terrain compound is used for the majority of their designs and focuses on maximizing traction over a wide variety of surfaces. The other variation, called Mug Contagrip, is built specifically for biting into softer and looser terrain like mud (although the lug design plays a huge role, which we cover below). Models that utilize the Mud compound include the X Ultra 3 and Odyssey 1 Advanced.

Lacing is as important as any other performance factor. If your laces are hard to tie or keep getting loose, they can be a real pain. That said, neither brand is as much of an innovator as Salomon, and the sheer number of available styles and designs are limited by comparison. Oboz is another big name in the market, although we’ve found that many of their boots have more of a traditional look and feel than Salomon’s more modern designs. A few final (albeit more specialized) brands to have on your radar are LOWA, La Sportiva, and Vasque, but again, their collections aren’t as well rounded or wide-ranging. For a more detailed breakdown of the market, see our article on the best hiking footwear brands. If you're looking for a lightweight, sturdy walking shoe with lots of grip that still looks nice enough to wear around town, I can recommend the Salomon Outline GTX. These Salomon trek shoes come in full and half sizes for men and women. Anatomically, slim is the sneaker’s fit. It’s true to size. I have a European 38 and rather slim feet. The 38 fits me perfectly.As for grip, the Salomon OUTline Prism GTX uses Contagrip MA on the soles, which is famed for its durability over wide variety of surfaces. It was most noticeable when the aggressive lugs were needed for pulling up some challenging sections of uphill, as well as descending fast rough terrain, where the grip of the sole helped with braking. The only thing I can't really comment on, is how water-resistent they are. My feet got wet wearing them once, but asit was raining really hard and I was wearing shorts, it might just be that the rain seeped in from above and not through the fabric. I'll update this post if I ever happen to end up in a downpour wearing them again. I hope that won't be too soon :-) Contagrip® MA: Contagrip® MA is built for the widest variety of surfaces. It balances both the geometry and the rubber compound to deliver confidence on wet, dry, hard or loose surfaces, and offer long-term durability. These Salomon trainers are equipped with a High Traction Contagrip outsole. In case you're not familiar with the design, it leverages three factors to ensure the best grip possible: Density, Compound, and Geometry. outdoor tulajdonságainak köszönhetően, mint a vízálló GORE-TEX membrán, remek tapadás vagy lábujjvédelem, a cipő otthon érzi magát a természetben

The OUTline Prism GTX is available in a Gore-Texand non Gore-Tex versions. Having it as a low-cut profile allows the shoe to be accessible as a running shoe and reduces weight and bulk. The Gore-Texmembrane kept my feet dry, even while running through saturated bogs and remote fells in the Peak District. It’s perhaps no surprise that the Pale Almond color was soon rendered more Bog Brown by the end of its first outing, but discoloration aside, they didn’t let any moisture in, which made them ideal for exploring in wet conditions. The Outline GTX is constructed with an Ortholite insole and an EVA midsole. The insole is known for its long-term cushioning, high-level breathability, and moisture-management qualities. It's also washable and lightweight. When I first got these Salomon hiking sneakers, I took them to Australia for a three-week trip full of hikes through the bush, in humid rainforest, and along beaches. They served me well and have remained comfortable on the walks I've done since then.
