Salomon Evasion 2 GORE-TEX Walking Shoes
Look ahead, go far and play out your dreams. The EVASION 2 GORE-TEX shoe can handle whatever you throw at it, wind rain or snow. That seriously opens up the game plan.
GORE-TEX Upper
GORE-TEX extended comfort footwear is guaranteed to keep you dry and offers an extended range of comfort. Engineered to be used during high output activities, Salomon uses GORE-TEX extended comfort footwear in their adventure, racing and mountain running footwear, where superior waterproof protection and enhanced breathability are essential. Additional to the GORE-TEX the Salomon Evasion 2 GORE-TEX Walking Shoes feature a waterproof split suede leather that allows for longer wear and durability enhancing the life expectancy of the shoes. The low-cut profile provides freedom of movement, whilst an abrasion resistant lining sits on top of the upper that allows for excellent breathability and quick drying as well as protects the shoes from rough terrain. A fully waterproof bootie construction adds to the weather protection working to wick moisture and keep your feet dry and comfortable. The bootie constructions link in with the Ortholite sockliner that combines a specific Ortholite foam. Ortholite foam created a cooler, drier, healthier, better-cushioned environment under the foot. It will not break down or lose effectiveness over time. Protection comes in the form of a rubber toe cap that is the perfect solution for toe protection in mountain and trail environments, whilst a mudguard that is constructed of protective material is placed around the base of the shoes prevents mud from breaking down and destroying the shoes enhancing their life. Last but not least a gusseted tongue is a material bridge that connects the tongue to the upper eliminating debris from entering the shoes, ensuring you stay comfortable and focused all the way.
Injected EVA Midsole
Supporting mile after mile of trekking, an injected EVA lines the midsole - an industry leader on good merit, EVA is both light and flexible, with a great disposition as a cushioning material. It actively reduces forces pressed upon the underfoot for a smooth stride through the transition with ample of shock dispersion. The format assists with keeping weight down and maximising responsive cushioning whatever the terrain ahead. A Torsion Shank placed in the midsole offers much-needed stability for that much-needed, firm base. This will reduce the foot twisting too much, reducing the risk of injury.
High Traction Contagrip Outsole
The Salomon Evasion 2 GORE-TEX Walking Shoes features a Contagrip outsole, providing unique traction technology. With a mix of compound, lob geometry and density, it gives the shoes brilliant grip and durability, regardless of the terrain underneath.
Utilising different combinations of harder, softer and grippier Contagrip compounds, Salomon's adventure running outsole provides the perfect blend of grip and durability to cover a multitude of terrains. Designed with specifically positions forefoot flex grooves and self-cleaning multi-directional lugs, these outsoles are field tested and proven to dynamically tackle rugged terrains.
