Salomon: Innovation and Quality since 1947
Salomon's story begins in 1947 in the heart of the French Alps, in Annecy, to be precise. Founded by François Salomon and his family, the company began with the manufacture of saw blades and ski edges. In the 1950s, they developed the first safety ski binding with automatic release and thus found their true passion: alpine winter sports. Since then, Salomon has expanded its portfolio considerably but has always maintained its focus on innovation and quality. In addition to ski boots, skis, and other winter sports equipment, such as ski goggles, the range also includes outdoor and running equipment characterized by durability and maximum performance. Thanks to waterproof and robust winter shoes from Salomon, you will also find suitable footwear for the cold season off the slopes. Today, Salomon is part of Amer Sports, one of the world's leading sporting goods companies.
Higher, faster & further with Salomon
Salomon has shaped the outdoor world with many sporting milestones and fresh ideas. After pioneering ski bindings and the SX90 ski boot at the end of the 70s, they ventured into skis and snowboards for the first time in the 90s. Salomon's relentless drive to always be at the forefront and push the boundaries of what is possible in outdoor sports is particularly evident in the footwear sector: with the Salomon trekking and hiking boots, the brand has held a strong position on the market since the Adventure 7 was launched in 1992. Salomon trail running shoes, in particular, gained importance from the noughties onwards. The XA Pro becomes a trailblazer for trail running and the technical standard for multisport races.
