Our read

For hikers and trail runners who prioritize foot protection and a locked-down, stable platform over speed or plushness. Its rugged build and waterproof upper define it.

Ride

A firm, stable ride with the 3D chassis providing lateral support and protection on uneven ground, at the cost of nimbleness and flexibility.

Fit

Secure, structured fit with Salomon's typical snug midfoot lockdown via the Sensifit and quicklace system. Best suited to medium and narrower feet.

Best for

Wet, technical hikes and slower trail outings where waterproofing and underfoot protection matter more than pace.

Avoid if

You want a light, fast, or flexible shoe for smooth trails or fast running, or you have wide feet.
