Salomon Authentic LTR GORE-TEX Trail Walking Boots
Lightweight, leather boot with the proven climate comfort of GORE-TEX, ideal for long day hikes and short backpacking adventures in rough terrain.
Upper - GORE-TEX/Split Suede Leather
Salomon Authentic LTR GORE-TEX Trail Walking Boots consists of a waterproof split suede leather upper with the water-resistant textile that provides an external environment to keep you dry and comfortable whatever weather you decide to go out in. It battles with water diminishing effects that work alongside a tough and dependable GORE-TEX extended comfort membrane. This highly breathable layer guarantees to keep the foot dry internally while allowing moisture vapour to escape, through sweat-wicking capabilities.
Working in unison with this feature, a soft and subtle 3D open mesh provides maximum breathability. It allows fresh air to permeate the interior construction keeping the foot cool and comfortable as you perform. Supporting this structure, internal Sensifit technology wraps and cradles the foot, locking it in place to create a closer fit and more efficient natural stride.
Protecting the outer framework, key anti-abrasion properties in the form of a protective synthetic toe cap and heel guard with extended mud guard, all coincide to provide a secure structure that battles through rocks and root, reducing unwanted debris for causing wear and tear. At the rear, extra protection is provided in the form of an integrated heel strap which stabilises the achilles through transition for additional subtle support.
Midsole - Injected EVA Compound
Taking on ground impact, an injected EVA compound midsole, reduces forces pushed upon the underfoot for a smooth cushioned stride with parallel performance within the die-cut EVA ortholite insole for step-in cushioning. At the rear a merged heel foam promotes a safe impact, absorbing ground force from heel strike which then powers and propels you through to your next step.
The midsole platform also feature's Salomon's lightweight advanced chassis, placed between the outsole and midsole, maximizes motion control, energy management and push through protection for an efficient, stable and responsive ride.
Outsole - Contagrip
The base of the hiking shoe implements a non-marking CONTAGRIP rubber outsole for reliable traction over varied terrain. Delivering optimal floor fighting grip on uneven surfaces, Salomon's Contagrip outsoles use the ideal combination of specialized rubbers for each specific use.
