Salomon Men's Outbound Prism GTX Shoes

Product Information

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. The Salomon OUTline Prism GTX felt like one of the bigger shoes in the test thanks to the wide footbed, which then tapered and curved to provide a supportive mid section and cushioned heel. With a removable OrthoLite insole cut to the shape of the inner shoe, the OUTline Prism GTX provides superior cushioning which added to the overall sizing and comfort rating of the shoe. Water Repellent: A special treatment is applied to provide extra protection, ensuring that the fabric does not absorb water during light rain and showers.

Waterproof tops water resistance and water repellency. However, just like bulletproof vests cannot protect against certain types of bullets, the GORE-TEX outline is unable to keep water from seeping through in certain conditions. One of the first days I wore the shoes on our trip, it was pouring rain and, unfortunately, my feet didn't stay entirely dry. We often prefer Gore-Tex shoes given our roots in the rainy Pacific Northwest, but waterproof designs do tend to suffer when it comes to breathability. To be sure, Gore-Tex is best-in-class in terms of balancing these two conflicting priorities, but our feet do grow sweaty from time to time during the heat of summer. Thankfully, Salomon offers many of their designs in both waterproof and non-waterproof variations, including the ultra-popular X Ultra, X Raise, OUTline, Vaya, XA Pro 3D v8, OUTpulse, X Crest, and Outbound Prism. The new OUTpulse collection includes both waterproof and non-waterproof optionsOn the outside, the upper is comprised of anti-debris mesh (keeps debris from sneaking inside), synthetic material (sustains durability and protection from outdoor activities), and the GORE-TEX membrane (found in the waterproof version). 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. 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. a talpbetét újrahasznosított felülete kávézaccból készült, mely az innovatív S.Café® technológián alapszik, kiválóan elvezeti a nedvességet és semlegesíti a szagokat

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. These Salomon sneakers are also stitch-free, light, and slim fit, giving it a snug-like feel that complements its overall aesthetics. 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. Contagrip® MA: Contagrip® MA is built for the widest variety of surfaces.

The recipe provides the necessary compounds for diverse surfaces.The Outline GTX is constructed with an Ortholite insole and an EVA midsole.
