Salomon Outline, Men's Hiking Shoes Light and Strong Grip

Product Information

My biggest area of concern is the narrow heel, which makes the boot feel a little tippy and less planted on the trail. We use marketing, analytical and functional cookies as well as similar technologies to give you the best experience.

Salomon OUTline Hiking Shoe Review | Switchback Travel

The model looks and fits like a sneaker more than a hiking shoe but does it also hold up on rough terrain? More than any other pair of Salomons we’ve tried, the Salomon OUTline Low GTX feels like a running shoe. 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.These Salomon sneakers are also stitch-free, light, and slim fit, giving it a snug-like feel that complements its overall aesthetics. Salomon clearly want to take a ride on this bandwagon too and are using their vast experience in trail running and lightweight walking shoes to make the OUTline GTX.

OUTLINE PRISM GTX | Salomon

Built to tackle the toughest terrains, these shoes offer exceptional grip, stability, and protection.Stability is as you would expect from a lightweight trainer inspired shoe, you'll either love or hate the way this feels in the mountains. For water resistance, hikers should also look into the La Sportiva Spire GTX, and for another all-around all-star that comes just a little wider, we recommend the Salewa Mountain Trainer Lite GTX. Engineered with precision and crafted with the highest quality materials, these shoes are designed to take your outdoor adventures to the next level. The sealed seams stop rain seeping in, the hood is deep enough to shelter from overhead downpours, and the fabric has proved reliably waterproof. The North Face’s Ultra 111 WP is labeled as a trail running shoe, but we consider it more of a lightweight hiker like the OUTline.

There's been a steady rise in mountain lovers donning lightweight shoes for their outdoor adventures and one of the mostpopular pieces of footwear for thru hikers in the US isn't a sturdy walking boot but a trail running shoe. We tested it on what we thought would be a perfect scenario for the shoe: a 13-mile day hike on the PCT in the Cascades. The Outline GTX comes in two versions: The Salomon Outline Low GTX hiking shoes that I have (both available in waterproof and non-waterproof) and a mid-high version (waterproof only).We didn't experience any catastrophic failures during testing, but we do have a few features to flag. The bellows tongue also helps to keep precipitation — and associated bits of leaves, bark, and twigs that a hiker kicks up — at bay. Stability-wise, several features accommodate tread and steadiness, namely, the outsole’s relatively wide base (wide in comparison to its fit). The Adidas is almost approach shoe-like with its semi-stiff build and tacky tread, while the OUTline is softer and flexier.
