# Weatherized Trail-Ready Sneakers Aries and Salomon Join Forces on a Pair of the Snowclogs By Amy Duong | Published 2024-11-19 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aries-and-salomon References: [highsnobiety](https://www.highsnobiety.com/en-gb/shop/brand/salomon/)  [Aries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/xtwhisper-1) and [Salomon](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/snowclog-1) work in collaboration on a new footwear silhouette for the winter season with a remixed variation of the original [Snowclog](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/snowclog-advanced). The simple slip-on model rests on top of a spiky tooth sole unit which brings back a model from its archives earlier this year. The trail clog has transformed itself into a full trail sneaker including laces to secure the foot in place. The revamped update adds more paneling throughout the upper including a protective front bumper by the toe box paired with the technical mesh and leather materials overlaying on top. Notably, the shoe is also fully recyclable supported by the all-terrain sole unit that rests at the base of the entirely redesigned model.
