The Salomon X Braze Mens Mid GTX Hiking Shoes are built tough with a protective cuff! From a warm heart to warm feet its about whats on the inside, so a Gore-Tex membrane ensures dry feet from the inside out and breathable water protection in damp environments! These shoes also show off an All-Terrain Contragrip outsole that guarantees grip on the gradient in wet or slippery areas, while an EnergyCell midsole absorbs impact so you can pound the paths. Boasting a synthetic upper construction for water and stain resistance, toe and heel caps also provide further protection on the ups and drops.
