Stylish and affordable Salomon dupes
Updated
These are some of our favourite Salomon-lookalikes for a fraction of the price. Getty
You've likely spotted them: the chunky, technical, and undeniably cool Salomon "gorpcore" sneakers. Once reserved for serious hikers and adventurers, these "ugly-cool" sneakers have become the urban must-have accessory over the years, paired with everything from gym gear to oversized blazers.
While the aesthetic is peak street style edge, the price tag can be a steep climb. With popular models like the XT-6 often retailing for well over $250, getting your hands on a pair can leave a significant dent.
The good news? Other brands like Nike, New Balance, and Hoka have tapped into the sporty-chic aesthetic that draws the technical energy, with less of the cost.
We've found the best affordable alternatives that look just as good on the pavement as they do on a weekend trail.
