Salomon Outpath GTX hiking shoes

Salomon is a world-renowned outdoor sports brand originally founded in 1947 in Annecy, France. The brand initially specialized in ski equipment and bindings before expanding into the versatile outdoor footwear and apparel market. This specific product, the Outpath GTX, is a technical hiking shoe designed with GORE-TEX technology for waterproof protection and durability.

While the brand maintains its design and engineering headquarters in the French Alps, its manufacturing is global, with this specific unit produced in Vietnam. Historically, Salomon was part of the Adidas group before being acquired by the Finnish conglomerate Amer Sports. In 2019, Amer Sports was acquired by a consortium led by the Chinese sportswear giant Anta Sports. Consequently, as of 2024 and beyond, the ultimate ownership of Salomon lies with Anta Sports, which is headquartered in Xiamen, China.
