# Winterized Traction Trail Clogs Salomon Breathes Life Back to the Snowclog Shoes for Winter By Amy Duong | Published 2024-07-29 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/snowclog References: [highsnobiety](https://www.highsnobiety.com/p/salomon-snowclog-shoe-2024/)  [Salomon](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/snowclog-advanced) is no stranger to technical silhouettes and most recently, it has brought back the Snowclog shoes. This time around, it has been revived under the Sportstyle branch which delivers style-conscious approaches. The Snowclog is not a brand-new look, but it is different in some components, including the lower-top cut this time around. The upper has a textile construction with mudguard sections. For support at the insoles, it features Ortholite and the most definitive change is seen at the base of the shoe where it boasts [impressive traction](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clog-exp). The silhouette is supported by a Contragrip sole unit. Additionally, the Snowclog is more sleek with a [backless fitting](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/recovery-clog) for more accessible wearing and the fully breathable base is made with mesh paneling.
