Salomon XT-6 Shoe

Salomon is a heritage outdoor sports brand that originated in the heart of the French Alps. Founded in 1947 in Annecy, France, the company initially focused on ski edges before evolving into a world leader in trail running and hiking equipment.

While the brand maintains its design and research center in Annecy, its manufacturing is now global, with products typically assembled in factories across Asia to meet international demand. The brand has transitioned through several owners over the decades, eventually becoming a cornerstone of the Amer Sports group. Since 2019, Amer Sports has been owned by a consortium led by the Chinese sportswear giant Anta Sports, making it the ultimate parent company of Salomon.
