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 makers, Salomon have a different line of boots to suit different requirements. The All Mountain range is aimed the general skier and most of the boots they make 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 top 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 peak performance.

With the growing popularity of free skiing, Salomon have a range for these skiers in particular. The Ghost boot was produced in conjunction with professional free skiers to ensure all the requirements were met for this type of skier. The liner in this product is more comfortable 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 higher level of comfort for the free skier.

Finally in the Salomon ski boot 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, however they offer all the features a professional skier would want.  For example the foot position within these boots is such that the perfect race skiing position is more readily achieved. The shell is also customisable to further tweak the race position and the buckles are contructed from titanium for maximum durability 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.
