Walking with Salomon

Have you seen the new collection?

Any sports fan knows that one of the best brands of running and hiking shoes is Salomon. Each one of its models offers the protection, the traction and the comfort that you need so that you can enjoy any sport to the fullest! However, the brand not only creates its models in order for you to have the best performance during any situation, but also has the care of creating specific models for different types of sports, running and terrain.

With this in mind, today’s post will be about the different Salomon models and how they fit into distinctive physical activities, namely running and hiking. Moreover, we take this chance to show you some of the new pairs that arrived with its autumn/winter collection 2016. Are you ready to see them?

We start with the shoes more appropriate for hiking, in this case on more uneven or even rocky terrains. For such, what’s necessary is a pair of shoes that’s very resilient, in order to resist any obstacle, but also breathable and comfortable, since hikes can last very long. As examples of exactly this are the two models that we show you next:

The X Ultra 2 Asphalt Black Hot Pink sneakers are exactly what we mentioned above: durable, comfortable and breathable. This is mainly due to their fabric, both on the upper and as the interior lining, which is anti-debris and quick-drying. Furthermore, they’ve a chassis between the outsole and the midsole that helps you to better control your movements on rough terrains, thus increasing your safety. To all these advantages, it’s also added their Non Marking ContaGrip sole, which always offers you great traction on several types of surfaces.

Also with the same outsole, the Ellipse 2 Cosmic Purple Asphalt Lotus Pink sneakers provide the same protection and comfort to your feet as you walk, but with the added bonus of being waterproof, thanks to the Gore-Tex technology, which allows you to enjoy your hikes no matter the weather. Another advantage that they’ve is their tongue, which is fixed to the inner lining to keep debris and dirt out, which is normal to occur especially during mountain hikes.

Now we go to shoes for suitable for technical trails, i.e. more challenging run, either regarding terrain or weather. Example of this type of running is trail running, a sport that we’ve talked about on a previous post also including the ideal sneakers for such. To sum up, the essential’s once again protection and traction, but also a proper and comfortable fit to your feet, so that the shoes is well secured and thus is not a distraction for you while you’re running. And the perfect Salomon model for this type of trail is Speedcross, in any version, thanks to their prominent outsole.

At EscapeShoes, you’ll be able to find the Speedcross Vario and the Speedcross 4 versions, being this last one the 4^th edition of these iconic shoes. Both versions that are available are part of the brand’s most recent 2016 collection. In case you’re wondering to yourself about the differences between these versions, basically there aren’t many, being the most evident the ones regarding the technologies included in the shoe. For example, the Speedcross Vario don’t present Quicklace, the technology that allows you to tie and untie the shoelaces quicker and with better precision, and so they don’t have the usual pocket to keep these adjustable laces. However, anyone of these versions may include Gore-Tex, to make the shoes waterproof.

To finish, we go to road trails, for those who live in the city but still enjoy their morning run. In this case, the terrain is not as bumpy or uneven as on the previous cases, so the shoes don’t need to be as heavy, but we also need to take into consideration that the asphalt makes the surface harder, so it’s necessary to offer the best comfort for your feet. What is the solution? The Sonic Pro model from Salomon!

These sneakers have the distinction of being among the lighter of training shoes. And when you have them in your hands, you’ll know why! Besides, their EVA insole presents OrthoLite technology, which offers better support and added cushioning to your feet. Their sleeker design ensures that these sneakers are really appropriate for the city, and the best of all is that you can find them in several colours: coral, turquoise, blue, green… whatever the colour you choose, we’re sure that it’ll make your outfit stand out, either it’s your work-out clothes or your day-to-day clothes.

As you must have realized, Salomon knows how to surprise us with amazing shoes! And these are only some examples. You’ll be able to find other models from the new 2016 collection in different colours at EscapeShoes.
