Salomon have a great history of designing and producing ski boots, going back to 1947 when Francois Salomon and son first started the company. Since then the company has grown immeasurably, producing bindings, skis, clothing and of course the Salomon ski boots for which it is perhaps most renowned.
As with other ski boot manufacturers, Salomon have a different range of boots to suit different requirements. The All Mountain range is aimed the general skier and the majority of the boots they produce fall into this category. The Mission RS 12 is one such boot and is a very popular choice, with all the usual features you would expect from a good quality boot, such as breathable liners and a wide strap at the top. Another option in this range is the Falcon CS Pro, which allows shell ajustment for optimum performance.
With the growing popularity of free skiing, Salomon have a range specifically for these skiers. The Ghost boot was developed in conjunction with professional free skiers to ensure all the needs were met for this type of skier. The liner in this boot offers more comfort around the toe area and the lacing system help keep the foot in place. These boots tend to be a little higher in price but do offer a greater level of comfort for the free skier.
Finally in the Salomon ski range there is the Racing/Sport category, which is for the serious skier or professional. The boots in this range do command a high price but tick all the boxes for a professional skier. For example the foot position within these boots is such that the perfect race skiing position is more easily achieved. The shell is also customisable to further tweak the race position and the buckles are contructed from titanium for maximum strength but very little weight.
The company have of course developed snowboard products more recently and continue to be one of the big players in the development of new and ingenious products from clothing and protective gear right through to piste fashion.
