It is rare to get a hiking shoe that looks remotely fashionable, but that is the case with the Salomon X Reveal GTX Hiking Shoes.
This shoe stands out on online listings and makes prospective buyers curious to learn more.
There is some doubt that something like this could be suitable for hiking. So, how does it perform?
One of the things that immediately stands out in the name of this Salomon X Ultra 3 Prime GTX Hiking Shoes is that it is a “hiking and multisport” shoe.
This suggests a shape and specification that lends itself to a wider range of applications.
The shape is much more like that of a training shoe with the low cut around the ankle, softer uppers and padded tongue.
It looks light and comfortable enough for long walks, jogging and even sprinting, should the need arise. So, does it have the performance buyers hope for?
The Salomon Quest Prime GTX Hiking Boots look like your typical hiking boot for the more casual user.
There is a good lace-up design in a high-rise form with thick, supportive uppers and what looks like a strong sole underneath.
There is a choice of classic all-black design or something a little more interesting. Both designs come with promiser of great weather protection and comfort for long-term use. Is this what buyers experience or are there flaws to deal with?
The Salomon Authentic LTR GTX Hiking Boots have a traditional look to them that will appeal to anyone that wants a simple boot that will hold up to long walks.
There is nothing excessively heavy duty in the specification but there are promises about comfort, durability and protective materials.
Is this product able to live up to the expectations of buyers?
Walking shoes don’t have to be massive, rugged boots to be effective and the Salomon Evasion 2 GTX Hiking Shoes promise to be a great example of that.
These walking shoes are a lot lighter with less material and apparent support than traditional boots.
At the same time, they look good with the different colours and shapes in the suede/leather materials.
This looks like a good choice for casual walkers but it is comfortable and protective?
