Salomon Walking Shoes

Salomon walking shoes for trails and everyday miles

Salomon walking shoes take the grip, waterproofing and stability of a hiking boot and build them into a lower, lighter shoe. The result is a secure, supportive feel underfoot with a freer ankle, so you can cover hill walks, mixed trails and everyday outdoor miles without the height or weight of a boot. The X Ultra 5 GORE-TEX leads the range in men's fits.

A secure SensiFit upper locks the foot in

Salomon's SensiFit construction cradles the foot from the midsole to the lacing, wrapping it for a snug, supportive hold. That secure fit keeps the foot planted on side slopes and rough ground, reducing movement inside the shoe on longer walks. Combined with a precise lacing system, it gives the locked-in feel that makes uneven trails easier to manage.

Contagrip outsoles grip wet rock and loose ground

The X Ultra 5 uses a Contagrip outsole tuned for mixed terrain, with lugs that bite into soft ground and hold on wet rock. Grip matters most on descents and greasy surfaces, where the outsole keeps you steady and in control. From forest tracks to rocky hill paths, that traction lets you walk with confidence across changing ground.

A light, low-cut build keeps you agile

The low-cut design frees the ankle for a natural stride and a lighter, faster feel than a boot. Less weight on the foot means less effort over a long day, which suits walkers who cover ground at pace or simply prefer a nimble shoe. It is an easy choice for trails that do not demand the extra ankle height of a full boot.

A stable chassis supports longer walks

Salomon's Advanced Chassis sits underfoot to guide the foot and add stability across uneven terrain, while cushioned foam softens each step. Together they keep the foot supported and comfortable as the miles add up, so walks stay easy rather than tiring. That balance of stability and cushioning is what lets a low shoe handle longer days on the trail.
