Outdoor-Ready Technical Boots

Salomon Presents its Latest Silhouettes for the Colder Seasons

— November 4, 2022 — Fashion
Technical footwear imprint Salomon introduces its latest footwear designs that are launching for the colder seasons of the year. It comes in the form of the XA ALPINE 2 boot and the QUEST GTX ADV boots -- both of which are designed to combat the terrains of wind, wet conditions, and cold.

Starting with the look of the QUEST GTX ADV is coated in a GORE-TEX material in order to provide comfort and protection for a well-rounded look. It also keeps the foot dry due to its high-top silhouette. The XA ALPINE 2 is lightweight and prepared to tackle winter conditions as well from a sporty perspective. The former has a laced enclosure and the latter has a zipped side enclosure.
