fitnessfootwear.com: Salomon Cosmic 4D GTX Tops Sales Charts at FitnessFootwear.com

UK hikers are enamoured with the Salomon Cosmic 4D GTX, with the boots topping of the sales charts at Fitnessfootwear.com

Salomon is one of the leading manufacturers of outdoor footwear, producing an impressive range of shoes and boots for all terrains and outdoor sports. Salomon trail running shoes are widely considered to be some of the lightest and most comfortable on the market; however it is the Salomon Cosmic 4D GTX which has been winning the most fans, with the boots now one of the most popular choices at FitnessFootwear.com 

The Salomon Cosmic 4D GTX is a highly innovative hiking boot, offering the robustness of a traditional leather hiking boot, with the comfort of lightweight trail running shoes. The secret of its lightweight construction is that it is essentially a trail shoe, which has been bolstered and reinforced to cope with tougher terrain. Salomon has taken its 3D support chassis developed for its trail shoes, and has added an extra layer of support for the 4D system. A midsole support plate increases the rigidity of the boots to cope with uneven and rocky ground, yet the boots still retail a good amount of flexibility for comfort. 

“Since its release, the Salomon Cosmic 4D GTX has been one of our bestselling hiking and backpacking boots, and it is one of the lightest and most comfortable boots on the market” says Fitnessfootwear.com MD Richard Gundle. Such is the popularity of the boots that supply can barely keep up with demand, with many stores selling out in the most popular sizes. Demand for the boots has been high at FitnessFootwear.com, thanks to the highly versatile design. The boots are well suited for hill walkers and hikers, as well as for trekking and backpacking. The flexible uppers offer unrivalled comfort, and the Contragrip outsole has excellent traction on rock, grass and mud.

“Our customers love the comfort, grip and support, and the weight saving can make a big difference, especially on multi-day hikes” says Richard. For trekking, hiking and backpacking, bots have traditionally been heavy to ensure that the feet are given adequate support and cushioning, yet Salomon has managed to make a significant weight saving, with a UK size 9 weighing in at only 750g and many backpacking boots weighing up to a kilogram per shoe. 

Ultra lightweight waterproof fabric replaces traditional leather in the uppers, with welded seams favoured over stitching to improve waterproofing; a weak point in many walking and hiking boots. Ballistic Nylon is used to reinforce the chassis and improve durability and to ensure a 100% waterproof seal the Salomon Cosmic 4D GTX features a Gore-Tex Extended Comfort membrane and a waterproof bootie construction. In contrast to the more traditional leather hiking and backpacking boots which can take a long time to break in and get comfortable, the Salomon Cosmic 4D GTX offers comfort straight out of the box, and a fit more like a trail shoe than a hiking boot. Few other boots at FitnessFootwear.com have attracted such universally positive reviews, demonstrating the gulf in class between the Salomon Cosmic 4D GTX and its rivals.

The style may not be to everyone’s tastes, with the modern look of the boots, but for performance and comfort the Salomon Cosmic 4D GTX is second to none.
