While they tend toward waterproof and tough, you don’t need to strap work boot tanks onto your feet to tackle wet, uneven terrain – you’ll be begging for something lighter just a few miles in. Salomon figured out a way to combine the water resistance and the durability with something that feels much more like a running shoe with the Outline Mid GTX Shoes. It has Solomon’s trademark comfort-focused design, with EnergyCell midsoles to absorb the impact of every heel strike, plus rubber toe and heel bumpers to absorb impact from odd rock strikes. But make no mistake, these shoes are made for the wild. The Goretex waterproof/breathable barrier keeps feet dry through shallow streams and pouring rain, and the Contragrip rubber outsole bites into rocky and muddy terrain alike, wet or dry. And they’re light, weighing in at about 280g a shoe (depending on size). If you’re planning to tackle a long section of a national trail or just get out into the wild and pace out a few dozen miles, do your feet a favor and slip a pair of these on.
