For weekend wanders and ambitious objectives

After 75 years of designing gear in the French Alps, Salomon knows a thing or two about the details that matter most in the mountains.

With tech borrowed from their iconic trail running shoes, Salomon hiking boots are built for speed. Lightweight construction and high-rebound midsoles help you log long days in comfort. Deep lugs offer grip on slippery sections, and waterproof-breathable GORE-TEX® membranes let you stride straight through puddles and stream crossings.

Must-have gear for hikes

Before heading to the trailhead, make sure your gear is dialed in. Pair your new Salomon hiking boots with merino wool or synthetic hiking socks – they’ll keep your feet dry and blister-free so you can focus on the views.

Trekking poles offer extra stability on steep climbs and descents. If weather blows in, you’ll be glad you have a waterproof jacket and technical layers to keep you warm and dry. And of course, your trusty daypack holds the rest of the 10 essentials.

When it's time to head home from the trails, here’s how to care for your hiking boots to help them last longer (and stay waterproof).
