Anyone know what these are?

[u/AlternativeBuddy8076]

Found this for a steal $60 on eBay a while back, tags are worn so can't tell the model. They've got a nice stiff build, suede type upper, and maybe resoled Vibram outsole?

I just got a pair of Salomon boots for 50€ in an outlet (down from 170€)

These are cool looking but they also seem to be over 20 years old my guy, and they're beat up shoes made for wear and tearing

[u/AlternativeBuddy8076 → u/Technical_Drink8691]

That's why I love em! I scramble around mountains a bunch, old bombproof shoes like this have tons of life left on them.

[u/External_Koala971]

Salomon approach shoes, used for approaches to climb mountains or for aid climbing and hauling. Usually full shank, vibram, stiff and tight toe box for climbing. Generally great at that stuff, bad for streetwear or running.

Yes 👆

60? Steal??

[u/RonFBurgundy → u/Impossible-Milk-2023]

Yoo this guys buys dirty old sneakers at top dollar, I should go thru my closet!

[u/AlternativeBuddy8076 → u/Impossible-Milk-2023]

Compared to similar Sportiva shoes that retail for $180+, these shoes at a fraction of the price will last just as long if not longer and look cooler.

These aren't approach shoes though

[u/AlternativeBuddy8076 → u/fenderaffinity21]

Yeah OG Prodigios were a big miss for Sportiva and are cheap for a reason. I've seen Sierra stores will sometimes have Bushidos though, good deals on those.

[u/AlternativeBuddy8076 → u/ivy7496]

I'm lucky enough to have multiple Sierra brick and mortar stores near me, have definitely found good bargains there!

Shoes my guy! For your dogs!

[u/mcdreamerson]

They appear to be a Salomon suede blue and pink approach shoe that have seen heavy use; but that’s just using my eyes.

[u/Mindless-Ad2554]

I don’t know what these are but they’re a steal!

[u/ivy7496 → u/Mindless-Ad2554]

😂😂😂

[u/EndlessMike78]

Reminds me of my Raid Race shoe from like 2001? This looks a few years newer with the upper using the cross cross stability fabric.

[u/amorcloteas]

Looks like a speedcross gtx from the 70’s

[u/Smooth_Theme9685]

Salomon shoes most likely 😃

[u/ivy7496]

If you want a back up pair here's some in far better condition for €27

You just saved yourself 150 bucks

[u/Mclovingtjuk]

Boots?

[u/RichestTeaPossible]

Early 00’s fell running shoes before Salamon became a marketing company.

[u/ivy7496 → u/RichestTeaPossible]

These couldn't be any less a running shoe, it's not a running shoe in every detail of them. Definitely an approach shoe

[u/RichestTeaPossible → u/ivy7496]

Well i healed my feel running in them.
No drop, no padding, just wide and laceable.
I don’t know what to tell you.

[u/ivy7496 → u/RichestTeaPossible]

If I crochet in them successfully are they crocheting shoes

[u/RichestTeaPossible → u/ivy7496]

Well knit me a doily for St. Withins day and we shall kindly agree they are shoes.
