Salomon Quest Echo GTX heren trekkingschoenen - zwart/Castlerock/zwart - EU 44

On a rain-soaked ridge above the treeline, where every foothold matters, the Salomon Quest Echo GTX keeps you moving with confidence. Built for backpackers and fast-packers tackling mixed and technical trails, these men's trekking shoes combine a waterproof GORE-TEX® membrane, a supportive high-cut ankle, and a grippy Contagrip® MD outsole to handle mud, rock, and wet roots. The nubuck leather and textile upper shrugs off abrasion, while the EnergyCell™ EVA midsole and OrthoLite® insole deliver all-day cushioning under heavy loads. A protective toecap and mudguard fend off trail debris, and the traditional lacing system locks your foot in place. Whether you're crossing a scree field or descending a slick forest path, the Quest Echo GTX turns challenging terrain into your home trail.
