Can anyone help me date these boots?

Can anyone help me date these boots?


Postby Sspaterson » Fri Nov 26, 2021 4:54 pm

Just wondering what era they are from and if anyone has gotten any opinions on them. I've just bought them off eBay as a spare pair to take on trips if my other pair of Salomons (Quest 4D) are drying out.

The logo dates them to 2013 or earlier, but how much earlier, I don't know.

I worked in a shop selling Salomon boots around the late 2000s, the style of these looks a little "older" than those I remember. So I'd take a guess at mid 2000s.

Hi there,

I also used to work in outdoor shops and I think I remember these shoes but can't quite remember the year. I think they might use the "contra grip" sole (if that's right). My hunch is very late 90's early 2000's.

Cheers
