Salomon Expert Low GTX - Men's Description:
| The Salmon Expert Low GTX is a low-cut light hiker that provides protection and support to tackle any terrain. The Gore-Tex lining is breathable and waterproof. The Salmon Expert Low GTX is a low-cut light hiker that provides protection and support to tackle terrain from the street to the trail. The Gore-Tex lining is breathable and waterproof—enough to keep your feet dry in puddles, but the low cut means you’ll need to steer clear of anything more than ankle-deep. The stiff chassis is designed to offer excellent push through protection, torsional rigidity, and forefoot flex while reducing the overall weight of the shoe. What that all amounts to is more energy, more control, and more comfort for your feet, whether you’re slogging around town in the rainy Northwest or tackling a quick day hike. Clothed in a combination of full grain nubuck, split suede leather, and breathable air mesh, the Expert Low GTX is both supple and supportive. A protective rubber toe and heel wrap helps keep painful toe-stubs to a minimum. Salomon’s one pull lacing system makes taking these shoes off and on as easy as an oversized, unlaced skateboard shoe. |
Bottom Line: A killer do-it-all light hiker. |
Reviews: Salomon Expert Low GTX - Men's
Sweet, Sweet Shoes, Man!
Not only are these shoes dead sexy to look at, they perform like Michael Jordan on steroids too. Super comfortable, awesome grip, and waterproof. So long to jumping over streams - use the lazy way, walk through 'em & you won't get wet (just watch your socks, beacause they're low cut.) Every avid day hiker should own a pair of these.
Great shoes
It became rapidly apparent that these shoes were made with wide feet in mind. This meant that they took 3rd party inserts beautifully. Field Tests in Escalante indicate that they feel nice on your feet, breathe well, and won't protect your feet from knee-deep pools of reddish muck. The stiffness of them took a little adjustment, but once they were broken in and I got used to them, I found them super nice. Traction on the slickrock and sandstone was also top notch. This is a really great pair of hiking shoes for those of us who don't like the wieght and movement restriction of high tops.
