Salomon was established by François Salomon, with support from his wife and son, initially producing saw blades. In 1957, the company showcased its innovative spirit by automating the production of steel ski edges and revolutionizing cable bindings for ski boots, replacing traditional leather bindings.

In 1966, Salomon bindings made their debut at the World Alpine Championships in Chile, introducing safety features like the Atlas binding and a self-release heelpiece. By 1972, Salomon became the world’s leading manufacturer of ski bindings.

Expanding its range, Salomon ventured into ski boots with the SX90 in 1979, skis in the 1980s, and hiking shoes in 1992. That year, Salomon Skis also appeared in the Winter Olympics held in Albertville, just 30 miles from their original workshop in Annecy.

Salomon’s hiking footwear gained prominence with record-breaking achievements like Kilian Jornet’s victory at the 2008 Ultra-Trail du Mont-Blanc, coinciding with the introduction of their Custom Fit Technology. In 2011, Salomon launched the Quest walking boots, a popular choice for adventurers and a key product stocked by Mastershoe.

Today, Salomon continues to be a trusted name for outdoor enthusiasts, offering hiking, running, and trail running shoes for men and women. While Mastershoe may not stock Salomon skis yet, their range of outdoor footwear is available with our free returns policy, making it easy to find the perfect pair for your adventures.
