For the walks that start as "just a quick wander" and somehow turn into a few hours.

The Salomon X-Adventure Recon Mid GTX is built for people who like getting off the pavement without needing a mountain guide and a spreadsheet. It combines the comfort of a modern hiking shoe with the extra ankle support of a mid-cut boot, making it a solid option for day walks, weekend adventures, and everything in between.

The GORE-TEX membrane helps keep wet weather, puddles, and damp grass where they belong — outside your boots. Underfoot, Salomon's grippy outsole provides confidence on loose gravel, muddy tracks, and uneven terrain, while the cushioned midsole helps keep feet comfortable when the kilometres start adding up.
